Well, congratulations to the amazing death defying Pittsburgh Penguins, you somehow beat the Borg. I clearly remember attending Frozen Fury III (Kings vs Avs) as part of a Lagloire Vegas Hockey field trip and asking my pick-up hockey cohorts, "Who is that really slow guy falling over everybody? Why is he even out there?" Steve the goalie sardonically quipped, "That's our new checking forward, Dan Bylsma, emphasis on BILE!" Dan actually scored a goal later in that game and the rest, as they say, is history.
The postal predictions once again rang true. Pens had the Cup in their pockets once Detroit's Niklas Kronwall hit the crossbar with only 2:14 left in a one goal 7th game.
And so with last night's unbelievable victory by mid-season replacement coach Dan Bylsma's Penguins, 3 more ex-Kings get their names on the cup; Dan, Phillippe Boucher and Mathew Garon. Plus congrats to ex-Ducks Chris Kunitz, Petr Sykora and oh yeah, Dan Bylsma.
