The Stanley Cup Final 2008 is the decisive series of the Stanley Cup in the 2007–2008 season. In the final, the winners of their conferences met - Detroit Red Wings from the West and Pittsburgh Penguins from the East. For the eleventh time in its history, the Detroit team won the Cup, beating the Pittsburgh team 4-2, which had never before lost the playoff finals. Conn Smythe Trophy - the prize to the most valuable playoff player - immediately after the end of the series was handed over by the NHL commissioner Gary Battman to the alternative Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg , for whom this victory was the first in his career.
