Shots from the NHL Conference Finals

Sidney Crosby saved his most daring move for after the Pens' series win: He spurned hockey superstition and hoisted the Prince of Wales Trophy, presented to the Eastern Conference Champions, here by NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. The Penguins are headed back to the Stanley Cup finals, clinching a return trip with a 4-1 rout of the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, May 26, that finished off a sweep in the Eastern Conference finals. Pittsburgh lost to Detroit last year in a six-game final series.
