Today is a great day for hockey in Pittsburgh.
June 12 is a special day for the Penguins’ organization as two of the team’s five Stanley Cup victories have fallen on that day.
In 2009, the underdog Penguins pulled off the impossible and upset the Red Wings in Game 7 on the road in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena.
Maxime Talbot was the unlikely hero that fateful night in Detroit as he put two pucks past Chris Osgood.
The Red Wings’ onslaught in the third period was enough to test the nerves of any Penguins fan and Marc-Andre Fleury’s diving save late in the game was a moment of magic.
