DETROIT, Mich. -- The Pittsburgh Penguins are new Stanley Cup Champions after a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings Friday night in Detroit.

Max Talbot scored two second-period goals, and the Pittsburgh Penguins overcame the loss of captain Sidney Crosby and a whole lot of history to beat the defending champion Detroit Red Wings 2-1 on Friday night in Game 7 and win the Stanley Cup for the third time.

Instead of the Red Wings becoming the NHL's first repeat champion since they won consecutive titles in 1997 and 1998, this turned into a Penguins party for the first time since now-team owner Mario Lemieux captained them to championships in 1991 and '92.

The Penguins turned the tables on the Red Wings and captured the Cup on enemy ice, just as Detroit did in Pittsburgh last year.

Marc-Andre Fleury was stellar in making 23 saves and erasing the memories of a 5-0 loss in Game 5 at Joe Louis Arena.

Jubilant crowds of people packed Ohio Valley sports bars, cheering on the Pens.

In Pittsburgh, police in riot gear pushed Stanley Cup revelers with horses. At first police stood by and let revelers have fun Friday night, but they have gotten more aggressive.
