The Quest for the Stanley Cup
After many exhilarating twists and turns, the 2009 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs will be a re-match of last year’s final with defending champion Detroit Red Wings pitted against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Although both teams were taken to the seven game limits in their respective conference semifinal series, each managed to handily defeat their conference final opponents.
Pittsburgh made short work of the Carolina Hurricanes and Detroit beat the young, upstart Chicago Blackhawks.
