Pittsburgh wins Stanley Cup Finals 4-3

In this year's Stanley Cup Finals, the home team won the first six games. Game 7 was scheduled for June 12 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Detroit had lost just one playoff game at home this year, Game 2 of the second round (Conference Semifinals) to Anaheim. I didn't think Pittsburgh had a chance to beat Detroit in Detroit in a Game 7. In Stanley Cup Finals, the home team was 12-2 in Game 7's. Pittsburgh was 4-0 in Game 7's in the playoffs, but obviously never in the Stanley Cup Finals. I guess one should not say "You can't" to a group of champions like the Pittsburgh Penguins, or to Maxime Talbott, who scored both Pittsburgh goals Friday night. Congratulations to the Penguins and to the town of Pittsburgh, which welcomes home its second championship team this year (Steelers). In this year's Stanley Cup Finals, the home team went 6-1. And home teams are 12-3 in Game 7's in the Stanley Cup Finals.
