Pennsylvania is the home for the Cups



Last night the state of Pennsylvania saw two professional hockey teams win in their respective leagues. Neither of the teams actually did it at home. Obviously the Pittsburgh Penguins won Game 7 in Detroit last night 2-1 to win the Stanley Cup. Word is, it was the most watched NHL game in the past decade (USA). Malkin picked up the Conn Smythe, for MVP of the playoffs.

Also last night in Winnipeg Manitoba the Hershey Bears brought home the American Hockey League's Calder Cup for a record 10th time in their history. The most ever by one team. They won the game 4-1 after taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the first period. Michal Neuvirth took home MVP honors after going 16-6 with a 1.92 GAA, .932 SV % and 4 shutouts in the post-season.
