• Maxime Talbot got both his wishes tonight -- he got to hoist the Cup and whisper "you picked the wrong team" while shaking Marian Hossa's hand.
  

• Sucks to be Ty Conklin, eh?

• Cristobal Huet channelled both the Amazing Kreskin and Rubberboy with that on-his-belly, mind-over-matter leg save on Marian Hossa in the dying seconds of the third. He saved the game... at least for a few moments.
  

• Not that long ago, a shot off the backboards was considered a complete duffer. Now, it's good strategy. I have to tell my beer league buddies that -- we'd look mighty fine under those rules.

• Beard comparison -- Eric Cole has more facial hair than Sidney Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury and about half of the state of Pennsylvania. And those are the women.
  

• When was the last time you saw a team captain touch -- let alone pick up -- the conference trophy? I was stunned. They usually treat that thing like it's contagious.

• Ever notice how the cream always rises to the top? Jonathan Toews rebounded after a sub-par effort in Game 1. And he's only 20 years old. I'm telling you -- he's either channelling Steve Yzerman or Joe Sakic; take your pick. Either one carried his team like a sherpa.

• Weird stat. The Red Wings have allowed a power-play goal in in a franchise-record 11 straight playoff games. It's the league's longest streak during a single post-season in a couple of decades. Something like this could catch up to them at a really bad time.

• Is Teemu Selanne that fast or Chris Chelios that slow... or both? Combined age = 85.
  

• You ever wonder if the twins ever play the old fool-the-girlfriend trick by pretending to be the other? Well, don't you think it's kind of funny that Henrik is now the sniper and Daniel is the set-up man?

• Most Americans think the metric system used up here in Canada is whacked. I think that Ohio math is worse.
  

• Chris Osgood isn't right. OK, so you're saying to me that he wasn't right before the game; I agree. He got worse. The Wings catch a break as he'll have more than a week to rest his clearly ailing nether-region. Watch the replays; you'll see what I mean.
