Detroit's Zetterberg awarded Conn Smythe (AP)

 
The Detroit Red Wings are Stanley Cup champions because they excel at both ends of the rink.

The Swede's goal midway through the third period proved to be the series winner and he had an assist to lift Detroit to a 3-2 win Wednesday night over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6. (link)
