I'm not a NHL hockey fan. However, I follow the Penguins right into the NHL Finals. Now, I know that some of you are hockey fans, so maybe ya'll can shed some light on this.

We have the Superbowl following the NFL playoffs; we have the World Series following the baseball playoffs. Why don't we have a special name for the NHL championship (it's the same with the NBA apparently, so NBA fans chime in too). I know its called the Stanley Cup, but that's like calling the Superbowl the Lombardi Trophy.

I remember when I first got at all interested in the Penguins that I began to follow the NHL playoffs. I kept looking for some designation of the championship match until I finally realized that the finals was that designation. Anyway, your thoughts?
