Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins

Old school hockey prevails. The Detroit Red Wings are the new NHL champions, rolling over everyone in their path to the Stanley Cup. At least they got a good fight from the Pittsburgh Penguins, who extended the series to a Game 6 with a stunning last-minute goal by Max Talbot, followed by a classic triple-OT winner by Petr Sykora.

Unfortunately for Penguins supporters, their lasting memories of the Stanley Cup final will be about how agonizingly close Pittsburgh came to making a second storybook comeback. The score was 3-1 for Detroit with less than two minutes to go in Game 6; Marian Hossa made it 3-2 on the power play, and then came agonizingly close to scoring again just as time expired.

At least that amazing ending will help people forget about the play that led to Detroit’s third goal. Marc-Andre Fleury had the misfortune of putting it into his own net as he tried to cover it up after initially making a save. Luck happens.
