This is the fifth Stanley Cup for the Penguins and the third for legendary Penguins star Sidney Crosby. The win means the Penguins are now back-to-back champions.

An early goal from the Predators was called off due to an early whistle, despite the fact it was clearly a goal.
There is no doubt that call will be the focus of discussion for a long time.
