Yea I hate when teams do that. Pens did it twice in this series, and it worked both times, games 5 and 7. Each time I cringed watching them protect a lead, because that usually mean that defensive play is coming to them, and as you say, therefore on their side of the ice. It backfires too often and is ugly to watch. But guess it worked this time.

Yea, I'm pretty happy for the Pens. Detroit has won 4/12 last Stanley Cups. That's plenty.
As a Canucks fan I have seen far too much of that trapping bullshit and it almost never works. When the team continued playing the same style that had led to them getting the lead, they almost always won. However, when they started trapping you knew they were fucking every time (the Canucks that is). Alain Vingeault is the most overrated coach in the sport and I would love to see the Canucks fire him and hire Tippet (which will never happen as for some reason Gilles seems to be in love with him).
