PENGUINS SWEEP SERIES AGAINST THE HURRICANES TO GO TO THE FINAL



Last night in Carolina, The Penguins completed the sweep with a 4-1 over the Canes and will move on to the Cup Final. But after the game the big story was about Crosby holding the Eastern Conference champion trophy."We didn't touch (the trophy) last year, and things didn't go the way we wanted," Crosby said. "I thought we'd change it up this year." Last year in the Cup Final the Penguins lost to the Wings. But this year they are ready to face the Wings in the final 9if the Wings knock out the Blackhawks in game 5 tonight)."They're the champs, and they'll be a big challenge for us," forward Miroslav Satan said.

Over the years in Crosby's career he has been compared to Gretzky and Lemieux. But Crosby said he can not be compared to them unless he wins a Stanley Cup.They've won cups and, you know, and we've yet to do that," Crosby said. "So we still have some things to prove.It's a compliment, and we'll try to keep playing the same way." If the Wings win tonight the Stanley Cup Final will begin this Saturday.
