Turning out a great couple of weeks for viewing & betting on all kind of sports "finals" including the Stanley Cup. Turns out to be a rematch of last year's final, the Detroit Red Wings look to become the first back-to-back winner in 11 years, while the Pittsburgh Penguins want revenge for last year's loss to the Wings. Game 1 is played tomorrow morning (oz time), bookies leaning to Detroit.
