Stanley Cup Finals, Game 7- Penguins @ Detroit Red Wings

What has been a truly magical ride for the Penguins will come to an end on Friday night. The only question left to be answered is whether or not it will end on an positive note. The Pens have pushed the Stanley Cup Finals to a decisive seventh game. At its conclusion, either Sidney Crosby or Nicklas Lidstrom will take the Cup from commisioner Gary Bettman, and that will be the end of it.

After five years of miserable failure and 16 seasons of playoff futility, the Penguins are one win away from immortality. The game that they've worked all their lives to get a chance to play has finally arrived.

Marc-Andre Fleury needs to have his head in the game from puck drop to the final buzzer. As was the case in Game 6, the Penguins will have absolutely no chance whatsoever if Fleury slips up.

Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin has to light it up. The Red Wings will not continue to allow Tyler Kennedy and Jordan Staal to cost them games. Crosby and Malkin have to be the best players on the ice.

This is kind of a big deal. No matter how it turns out, these Pens have treated us to something special this year.
