The '''2008 Stanley Cup Final''' determined the winner of the [[Stanley Cup]] and the champion of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) for the [[2007–08 NHL season|2007–08 season]]. As a culmination of the [[2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs]], the [[Western Conference (NHL)|Western Conference]] champion [[Detroit Red Wings]] defeated the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]] champion [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], four games to two. [[Henrik Zetterberg]] was awarded the [[Conn Smythe Trophy]] as the [[Most Valuable Player]] of the playoffs.<ref>{{cite news |title= Detroit Red Wings win Stanley Cup|url=http://www.cbc.ca/sportsnews/story/2008/06/04/det-pit-six.html|work= |publisher= [[CBC.ca|CBC]]|date= 2008-06-04|accessdate=2008-06-04 }}</ref>


== Clinic ==
This was Pittsburgh's third appearance in the [[Stanley Cup Final]], and its first since winning consecutive championships in [[1990–91 NHL season|1991]] and [[1991–92 NHL season|1992]]. Detroit made its 23rd appearance in the championship series, and its first since winning the Cup in [[2002 Stanley Cup Finals|2002]]. This was Detroit's 11th Stanley Cup title. This was also the first Cup Final between two American-based NHL teams since [[2003 Stanley Cup Finals|2003]]. The [[1993 Stanley Cup Finals|1993]] [[Montreal Canadiens]] remain the last Canadian team to have won the Cup.
The clinic's main goal is to provide quality medical care to people who normally couldn't afford it. Payments for services are adjusted to the patient's ability to pay. The medical staff includes an on-site x-ray technician, a full-time dentist, and various other specialists.


== Employment opportunities ==
The Cup Final was broadcast in [[Canada]] and some parts of the United States as part of [[CBC.ca|CBC]]'s ''[[Hockey Night in Canada]]'' in English and on [[Reseau des Sports|RDS]] in French. In the [[United States]], [[The NHL on Versus|Versus]] televised games one and two, and [[NHL on NBC|NBC]] broadcast the rest of the series. In the [[United Kingdom]], all games were aired live on [[Five (channel)|Five]], and on the cable sports channel [[North American Sports Network|NASN]].
The employment opportunities include an embroidery shop, a bakery and coffee shop, and an internet cafe. All are located near the [[New Gate]] in the [[Christian Quarter]] of the [[Old City]].


===Embroidery===
==Paths to the Final==
The shop[http://www.aosjerusalem.org/ "Melia Palestinian Embroidery"] provides a resource to Palestinian women from the West Bank. These women hand-embroider traditional Palestinian designs and sell the finished pieces through the shop.
{{details|2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs}}


===Bakery and coffee shop===
The [[Detroit Red Wings]] entered the Final after winning the [[Presidents' Trophy]] as the team that had the best record during the regular season. Led by forwards [[Henrik Zetterberg]], [[Pavel Datsyuk]], and [[Johan Franzén]], Detroit scored 55 goals in the first three rounds of the playoffs. With struggling goaltender [[Dominik Hašek|Dominik Hasek]] being replaced mid-series by [[Chris Osgood]], the Red Wings defeated their division rival [[Nashville Predators]] in the Western Conference Quarterfinals, in six games. The team swept the [[Colorado Avalanche]] in the Western Conference Semifinal round, and defeated the [[Dallas Stars]] in six games to win their fifth [[Clarence S. Campbell Bowl]] in franchise history.
The bakery prepares traditional Palestinian dishes including pies, pastries, and salads. In addition to the shop itself, the employees provide catering services for parties and other celebrations. This and the embroidery shop constitute the only stores in Jerusalem staffed entirely by women.


===Internet cafe===
The [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] entered the championship series after winning the [[Atlantic Division (NHL)|Atlantic Division]] and earning the second-best regular season record in the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Eastern Conference]]. The team was led by [[Sidney Crosby]]; missing 29 games throughout the regular season because of an ankle injury, the captain returned to lead the first three rounds of the playoffs in assists, and to tie for the lead in points heading into the Stanley Cup Final. Goaltender [[Marc-Andre Fleury]] recorded three shutouts throughout the playoffs, to lead the league in that category. [[Evgeni Malkin]] and [[Marian Hossa]] each recorded nine goals and ten assists throughout the playoffs. The Penguins swept the [[Ottawa Senators]] in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, a reversal of [[2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs#(4) Ottawa Senators vs. (5) Pittsburgh Penguins|the series of the previous season]] when Ottawa beat Pittsburgh 4–1. In the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Penguins defeated division rival the [[New York Rangers]], in five games. The team won the [[Prince of Wales Trophy]] by defeating another division rival, the [[Philadelphia Flyers]], also in five games.
The Internet Cafe was the first of its kind in the Old City. It provides a resource for the surrounding community at a low cost.

==The series==
The 2008 Stanley Cup Final marked the first time that the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins have met in postseason play. The Red Wings and Penguins did not play each other during the 2007-08 regular season.

Pittsburgh's [[Ryan Malone]] was scheduled to have [[X-ray]]s on [[June 3]], after being hit in the face with the puck in game five, but was expected to play.<ref>{{cite news |first= Dave|last= Molinari|authorlink= |coauthors= |title= Penguins again stare at elimination tonight at Mellon Arena|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08156/887125-13.stm |work= |publisher= [[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]]|date= 2008-06-04|accessdate=2008-06-04 }}</ref>

The Red Wings took a 2–0 lead in the second period in game six en route to a 3–2 victory to clinch the Stanley Cup. [[Brian Rafalski]] scored a power play goal at 5:03 in the first period before [[Valtteri Filppula]] extended the lead with a goal at 8:07 in the second. The Penguins had an opportunity to get their first goal later in the first period, with a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:33, but could not convert. Pittsburgh finally cut the lead at 15:26 of the second period with [[Evgeni Malkin]]'s power play goal. However, a third period shot by Detroit's [[Henrik Zetterberg]] squeezed through the legs of Pittsburgh goaltender [[Marc-Andre Fleury]], who, after noticing he was not covering the puck, fell backwards and accidentally knocked the puck across the goal line for the Red Wings' third goal. [[Marian Hossa]] scored a power play goal at 18:33 of the third period to cut the lead to 3–2, but the Penguins, despite a shot by Sidney Crosby and shot off rebound by Hossa in the final seconds, could not tie the game before time ran out.

Revision as of 15:28, 12 October 2008

The Arab Orthodox Society is a charitable organization in Eastern Jerusalem. Their mission is to bring relief and opportunity to the people of the greater Jerusalem area, regardless of race, religion, or gender. They do this by providing medical care and employment opportunities for people in need. Historically the organization is part of the Arab Orthodox movement within the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem.

Clinic

The clinic's main goal is to provide quality medical care to people who normally couldn't afford it. Payments for services are adjusted to the patient's ability to pay. The medical staff includes an on-site x-ray technician, a full-time dentist, and various other specialists.

Employment opportunities

The employment opportunities include an embroidery shop, a bakery and coffee shop, and an internet cafe. All are located near the New Gate in the Christian Quarter of the Old City.

Embroidery

The shop"Melia Palestinian Embroidery" provides a resource to Palestinian women from the West Bank. These women hand-embroider traditional Palestinian designs and sell the finished pieces through the shop.

Bakery and coffee shop

The bakery prepares traditional Palestinian dishes including pies, pastries, and salads. In addition to the shop itself, the employees provide catering services for parties and other celebrations. This and the embroidery shop constitute the only stores in Jerusalem staffed entirely by women.

Internet cafe

The Internet Cafe was the first of its kind in the Old City. It provides a resource for the surrounding community at a low cost.
