Did the NHL fix the Stanley Cup series so that the Penguins would be the winners? I can't say yes but maybe they should have started the series on June 2nd instead of May 30th. Instead of having at least 5 days of rest, the banged-up Wings had 2 days of rest to get ready for the finals. Who knows.....

Let's have a little fun with this. The Detroit Red Wings lost the Stanley Cup because they were under "the curse of Marian Hossa." Let me explain.

Last year Hossa turned down a multi-year contract from the Pens and signed a one-year deal with the Wings because he felt that the Wings would win the Cup. The curse works like this: had the Penguins dissed Hossa and he signed with the Red Wings then the revenge factor would have been on his side since the Pens told him he was not good enough for a long-term contract. Instead, the Pens from Super Mario to Sid the Kid had revenge on their side. Sure they wanted to beat the Wings but they wanted to show Hossa, he "f'd" up. The team had it in for him. Hossa was the cherry on top on the Stanley Cup sundae.

Again, if it was the Pens who dissed Hossa, he would had fire shooting out his eyes to get back at the team that told him he was not good enough for a long-term deal. Instead he looked lost on the ice because revenge was not on his side and there is the curse of Marian Hossa.
