Kings Redeem LA Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Cheers @B21, @nossagog, and other Penguin fans. Pretty incredible scoring two consecutive Cups in this salary-cap era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how I end up being right only when I'm randomly picking something. I have no idea why this super power doesn't work for the lottery.

yave1964 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Congrats to the Pens on back to back championships, first time in two decades this has happened. One thing I noticed was the Penguins won more games that they were outplayed in than any cup winner that I have ever seen. Game one and again game six easily could have went to the Preds which really was the norm for the Penguins this popstseason as every series they won at least one game if not more that they were outplayed, in some cases badly. This is not a crack or a rip on the Pens, they played without Letang for the entire run and Murray for over half of the postseason as well as Schultz, Hornqvist and more missing time throughout. They managed to hold on when they needed to, they remained calm and dug deep and won games that lesser teams certainly would not have. That is what makes champions.

BluPuk Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Congratulations Penguins. I'm betting it will be a lot more than 20 years before we have a repeat cup winner again. The NHL is not set up for that to happen. Anyway, well done Sid and the boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this was far from any type of dominant performance by the Pens. They won plenty of games where they seemed to be outplayed. You have to wonder if that comes down to that experience thing from last year, knowing that they can stay in games and not panic. Will have to look, but last night was one of a rare games where the Pens out shot a team in these playoffs. A shame in regards to the quick whistle on the early goal, that will leave a dark spot(and fuel plenty more conspiracy theories) on a great game.

A shame in regards to the quick whistle on the early goal, that will leave a dark spot(and fuel plenty more conspiracy theories) on a great game. Well put. Last year was more about dominating. This year was all about attrition which brings me back to giving a lot of credit to Rutherford. Adding Hainsey and Streit. NOT trading Fleury. He understood that there would be a need for depth if they were to make another run. As for that quick whistle - what can you do? Caught a break there. Right call as far as disallowing the goal but it was certainly quick. That said, it certainly did not cost Nashville the game. Failing to convert during almost 4:00 of PP time in the 3rd period including a 5 on 3 did them in. Edit: If that same call happened with 10:00 to go (or less) different story. But with two full periods of hockey left to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
