Everyone counted the Pens out just a few short months ago. They get to play the no respect card, the everyone hates Crosby card, and we got our asses handed to us by a very good team in the Finals last year card.
If they lost this series, they would have taken so many steps backward it would have been akin to many teams in the past who failed to raise Lord Stanley.
Yes, they didn't have the regular season everyone expected of them. But you don't get the Cup for what happens in there. Everyone's mentality was just get to the playoffs no matter the seed (ended up fucking 4th for fuck's sake), and it would work itself out, but just fucking get there.
After a series like this, I don't see the Bruins or Canes winning against the Penguins. 5/6 games tops. The NHL would love to have a Boston/ Chicago Final though... they already had their Crosby/ Ovechkin Series, that would be their next ideal candidate.
But the Staal Brothers playing each other would be great in the Eastern Finals for the fans of both teams, haha.
The Penguins ... so hot rite now.
They could collectively take a shit in aluminum foil, wrap them up, and Queen Elizabeth would wear them as earrings.
- They are hot right now, but everyone will be exhausted (including from the other team). The series was close.juhls
- 4th isn't that bad, imo. To me, it's weird that some teams can be great during the reg. season and do amazingly welljuhls
- during the playoffs, and vice-versa. It's been that way for years, but it can be frustrating depending on your team.juhls
- *great during the reg. season = average during the reg. seasonjuhls
- I think they'll be fine despite the fatigue factor. Of course I say this as a Pens fan and not a conscientious observer, haha.********
