First of all, sincere congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins - Stanley Cup Champions, 2008/9.

- About last night, then. [The Fanhouse](http://nhl.fanhouse.com/2009/06/12/max-talbot-the-unlikely-hero-as-penguins-win-stanley-cup/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Wyshynski](http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck%5Fdaddy/post/Penguins-win-Game-7-and-The-Kid-gets-his-Cup?urn=nhl,169961&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Toronto Sports Media](http://torontosportsmedia.com/sports-and-toronto/penguins-game/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Suite 101](http://national-hockey-league-nhl.suite101.com/article.cfm/penguins%5Fare%5F2009%5Fstanley%5Fcup%5Fchampions?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and the [Battle of New York](http://www.battleofny.com/2009/06/13/penguins-make-history-win-stanley-cup-over-detroit/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have the tales of the tape as the Penguins record their third. The final words go of course, to the victorious [Pensburgh](http://www.pensburgh.com/2009/6/12/907909/pittsburgh-penguins-are-your-2008?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and the vanquished [Winging It In Motown](http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2009/6/12/907907/red-wings-lose-stanley-cup?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- And all in all it was Pennsylvania's night, as [the Hershey Bears took the Calder Cup](http://www.theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article%5Fid=10229&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- Evengi Malkin is the first Russian to win the Conn Smyth. [The Fanhouse marks his achievement](http://nhl.fanhouse.com/2009/06/12/evgeni-malkin-wins-conn-smythe-trophy/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- Thanks indeed go to The Cannon, for you are now aware of [the curse of Ty Conklin](http://www.jacketscannon.com/2009/6/13/907928/the-ty-conklin-curse?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- The flipside to that of course, is the post game 5 [redemption of Marc-Andre Fleury](http://nhl.fanhouse.com/2009/06/13/video-fleury-comes-up-big-again/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- Think of the words 'Marian Hossa'. Are you [sympathetic](http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck%5Fdaddy/post/Hossa-claims-no-regrets-in-choosing-losers-over-?urn=nhl,169963&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) or do you [snigger like a recalcitrant schoolchild](http://thetwolinepass.com/2009/06/win-or-lose-hossa-was-still-wrong/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)?
- Finally in all this revelry and courtesy of jrwendelman, meet Jackson Cooke - [Ralph Wiggum made flesh.](http://heroesinrehab.ca/blog/2009/06/13/ralph-wiggum-makes-an-appearance-at-the-joe/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)
- Right, that's enough shiny bauble chat....
- Yesterday's rumour du jour was Pronger to the Kings. Maple Leaf Hot Stove [chatted on it](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/index.php/2009/06/12/pronger-traded-draft-dealing-commences/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), Puck Daddy [refuted it](http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck%5Fdaddy/post/For-now-Pronger-trade-to-Kings-denied-by-both-p?urn=nhl,169928&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and finally Analysis Steve brought a [calm head to proceedings](http://leafs.hockeyanalysis.com/2009/06/13/first-dominoe-falls/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- Sticking with Steve (and proving at least *some* FTB correspondents appreciate his work), [how about Ian Laperriere](http://leafs.hockeyanalysis.com/2009/06/12/laperriere-destined-for-open-market-marlies-to-play-uk/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)?
- Talented scoring winger, but failed motocross aficionado Dany Heatley is getting the league all hot and bothered as to his availability. Puck Daddy [collates the stories doing the rounds](http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck%5Fdaddy/post/Who-needs-Cup-when-you-have-raging-Heatley-trade?urn=nhl,169671&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) as to his next destination (Let's see...Thrashers....senators....next logical step would be North Korea, right?) /

And that's it, that's all. That's all there is.
