Kansas City/Pittsburgh Penguins Win Stanley Cup

The Pittsburgh Penguins won the 2009 Stanley Cup on Friday night in Detroit.

Pens 2, Red Wings 1. Pittsburgh took the series in seven games.

Now hockey doesn’t pop up much on this site. Or at least it doesn’t without some connection locally or to football.

Local Connection: Imagine for a moment if back several years ago the Penguins had moved to Kansas City. Would there be a celebration going on this weekend in the Plaza, Westport, the P&L? That’s impossible to tell since all things would not remain equal with a move of the franchise from Pittsburgh to Kansas City. But a girl can dream, can’t see?

Football Connection: There’s only one person happier than me about the Pens victory in Game Seven. That would be Chiefs head coach Todd Haley, who is a major hockey fan and a full-blown Penguins junkie.

They did it Coach!

    It was cool to see the Pens win it, that’s from a guy that has a different favorite Hockey team.

    No one can deny that Pittsburgh is truly, The City of Champions….

    Congrats Author, Coach!

    Getting that enforcer a few years back for Crosby really paid off.
