It doesn't get any better than this. Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Every kid who has skated on a pond or played ball hockey in the street knows the thrill. Pretending to be your hero scoring in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
What makes this one extra special is the rematch between last year's combatants Pittsburgh and Detroit. This series has been back and forth with a continuous seesawing of momentum shifts. Both teams deserve to be where they are at and are truly the best in their conferences.
