Marian Hossa

Marian Hossa's former Pittsburgh Penguins teammates to rub it in. The scoreboard made it clear that Detroit's talented winger made the wrong choice when signed with the Red Wings instead of the staying with Pittsburgh after last season. Penguins 2, Red Wings 1 in Game 7 on the Stanley Cup final Friday night.

Hossa changed teams hoping to improve his chances of winning a championship, only to end up on the losers' line during the post-series handshake for the second consecutive season. I don't regret the decision," said Hossa, who turned down a long-term deal worth almost $50 million from the Penguins for a one-year contract worth about $7.5 million to play for the Red Wings, leaving the runner-up Penguins to play for the defending champions.

Before the Stanley Cup finals rematch, Pittsburgh forward Max Talbot said he couldn't wait to shake Hossa's hand when the series was over to tell him he picked the wrong team. When Talbot got the chance, he let it slide. I just told him, "Good job,"' recalled Talbot, who scored both Pittsburgh goals in Game 7. "I think he knows he made the wrong choice, I don't have to tell him."n hindsight, Hossa ended up doing the Penguins a favor.
