The NHL Stanley Cup Finals are this weekend, and if you've followed my blog lately, you know I'm a die-hard fan of the Eastern Conference Champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

As you can see, the Pens are growing their "Hacksaw"-like playoff beard.

But the NHL's prized trophy, the Stanley Cup, is cherished by hockey players worldwide. It's more than 100 years old, and has the unique tradition of being given to each winning player and executive for a day to enjoy on their own -- complete with security guard from the Hockey Hall of Fame that guards the trophy's well-being.

Other than the various WWE championship titles, WWE has no "trophy" per se that is awarded in this fashion. The Money in the Bank briefcase is the closest to such a annually-awarded cherished trophy as you can get. And the robe, crown, and scepter of the King of the Ring is a close second.

So, do you think WWE should have something that resembles the Stanley Cup in prestigue and stature? Send your comments in below.

Oh yeah, and LETS GO PENS!!!

Wow, what a crazy day at WWE.com! And an exciting weekend of sports overall!

First, while getting all my details squared away for our first-ever pay-per-view Live Blog in WWE Fan Nation history, I watched my hometown Pittsburgh Penguins demolish the Philadelphia Flyers 6-0 to win their series in five games, and earn a ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals -- their first in 16 years. The Pens have not lost at home in the Igloo since FEBRUARY!!!

Congrats to everyone in the Steel City! I wish I was there to party with all those fans camped out at the Mellon Arena. Then, a bunch of us in the office sweated out a Boston Celtics' Game 7 victory over Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Amazing win by the C-men!

Then finally, to cap off a great weekend, we had WWE Judgment Day live from Omaha, Neb. Special thanks to Howard Finkel and Joey Styles for taking part in WWE Fan Nation's Live Blog during the event. (read the transcript here)

But what we are all talking about after a great night of action is not the incredible wins by Jeff Hardy, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, John Cena and Mickie James amongst others.

WWE Fan Nation is outraged -- and rightly so -- by the actions of SmackDown GM Vickie Guerrero, who declared the World Heavyweight Championship vacant again after Undertaker defeated her fiancee Edge by countout.

Her logic: You can not win the title by countout or disqualification.

And unfortunately, as much as it pains me to say so, I agree with the GM's ill-timed decision.

WWE titles have a long history and tradition of not being awarded by countout or DQ, and this falls under that rule, even though Guerrero, regrettably, did not declare this before the match.

So, with Guerrero's decision, no doubt the Undertaker remains the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Title with his victory.

But what about Edge? Does he deserve another title opportunity after losing to the Undertaker for the third-straight time in as many months? And will the WWE Board of Directors step in and address any favortism by the SmackDown GM?

I'm sure we'll find out the likely fiancee-friendly answer this Friday on SmackDown.

In the WWE.com office kitchenette/break room, there is an old-school STIGA table hockey game on the table near the vending machines that some co-workers use to blow off steam. The table's teams are the Detroit Red WIngs and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Both those teams are up 3 games to none in the Stanley Cup Conference Finals and looks to be on a collision course to battle for Lord Stanley's Cup.

So, with Pittsburgh's dominating 4-1 win over Filthy Philly last night, our kitchenette hockey table may have predicted the Stanley Cup Finals. Good on you, hockey table!

Of course, this means that the Penguins (who are 11-1 so far in the playoffs -- only the fourth team in history to do so) are looking for the sweep Thursday night. Nothing would be sweeter than to knock off Cheesesteak City and return to the Cup Finals for the first time since 1992.

I smell sweep! And so does legendary fashion-plate hockey announcer Don Cherry.... make it work, Don!

After watching the Pittsburgh Penguins defeat the Philadelphia Flyers in the first game of the Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Finals, I saw Hockey Night in Canada's legendary announcer Don Cherry wearing one of the most eye-burning suits that I've ever seen.

YIPES! This suit could melt Buffalo snow! Cherry has a long history of wearing the most colorful attire ever seen by man.

Of course, WWE has its own announcer fashion plate at the Raw commentators desk:

So, who takes the announcer fashion crown? Don Cherry or Jerry "The King" Lawler? Leave your comments below.

Other than winning the WWE Title at WrestleMania, nothing comes close in the sporting world to the feeling of winning an overtime series clincher in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. And I'm still coming down from the high of seeing the Pittsburgh Penguins (my hometown team) defeat the hated NY Rangers 3-2 in OT this afternoon.

Since the WWE.com office is split very lopsidedly in favor of the local NYC-area team, I thought I'd get my gloating done now in my WWE Fan Nation blog, so that their will be no leftover hostilities come Monday. And I'm going to do this with some Photoshopped help from the fine guys at The Pens Blog.

First off, Marian Hossa was MONEY! Scoring the first goal on a beautiful power play one-timer (seen above) and the OT game-winner, he was flat out CASH!  

Yes, Hossa was THAT money!

Despite giving up a 2-0 lead quickly in the 3rd period, they rallied in OT, dominating the blueshirts in shots. It was only a matter of time until the puck found its way behind Henry Lundquist.

Cue the celebration!!!

BULLETIN FROM THE NHL OFFICE: The New York Rangers have been released from the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. We wish the Rangers well in their future endeavors. 

We have some fabulous parting gifts for Mr. Jagr and the Rangers:

So, it's a lock. There will be a Pennsylvania team in the Stanley Cup Finals. But will it be from the East side or the West-sideeeeedah of the mountains?  

Just a warning to the Flyers faithful:

OK, I got it out of my system now... back to work Fan Nation :-)

BTW, if your a fan of the Penguins, Pirates or Steelers, join my Pittsburgh Sports Fans group, and cheer on the Mighty 'Guins to the Stanley Cup!

OK, that is all :-)  Go Pens!
