Wings, Pens to Meet for Stanley Cup
The Detroit Red Wings punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals tonight with a convincing 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars -- winning the Clarence Campell Bowl in six games. They'll face the Pittsburgh Penguins, who destroyed the Philadelphia Flyers (6-0) in yesterday's decisive game five, for the title.
It's the Wings' first berth in the finals in six years, while the Pens haven't won the Prince of Wales Trophy since 1992. Pittsburgh (12-2) and Detroit (12-4) have been scorching throughout the playoffs, with both teams boasting one sweep and the Pens winning their other two series by a convincing 4-1 margin.
The battle for Lord Stanley's Cup begins Saturday night (8 p.m., Versus) at the venerable Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
Look for a complete preview later in the week.
