Crosby / Conn Smythe / Cup

Late Monday evening on the east coast the NHL season was coming to an end. The Pittsburgh Penguins went on the road and closed out the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks were in the Stanley Cup Final for the 1st time in their 25 year history. Pittsburgh won their 4th Cup in franchise history. Meanwhile for Sydney Crosby the 28 soon to be 29 year old won his 2nd Cup. Crosby also added his 1st Conn Smythe trophy. The Penguins won their 2nd title in 7 years. Which is their 1st since 2009. On the west coast the Bay Area fans should applaud their team. Friday night down 3-1 in the series the Sharks won in Pittsburgh to push the series to a Game 6 back home. Pittsburgh rallied from a 3-1 series deficit vs. Tampa in the Eastern Conference Finals. Just to get to the championship round. Then in the Stanley Cup Final the Penguins would never trail in the series.
