But his response was classically epic he said maybe if they have a top 101 I can make the list that's on par with Phil kessel's tweet during the Olympics👌
Drewman87 I see niemi as insurance, instead of a true back-up. Jarry has tons of potential, yet is still unproven. If niemi falters, rest assured, Jarry gets an opportunity to steal his spot.
Preds fan here, what a great season the Preds had. I'm so proud of them and everything they accomplished in the post season. I got to go to all most all the home games and had a blast at all of them. Pens thanks for the great Stanley Cup final. I hope we have another chance to take y'all down.
@@hemihead001 There are plenty of them as a matter of fact. Congrats on a great era. As well as you guys are playing so far this year, another deep run seems likely
Unreal team, I honestly think we could do it again next year. Sidney Crosby had arguably the greatest year in hockey ever 3 Championships 3 MVP awards and a goal scoring title.
Celebrating the STANLEY CUP TITLE (*again*) in the parade makes up for it tho Brendan Smith...tune in on Wednesday with some "home ice" in you're cup and check out OUR STANLEY CUP celebration 😎
Watching this video years later and its refreshing seeing a die hard Leafs fan speak about our team like that. Much love and hope you guys have your spotlight soon
Born and raised in Pittsburgh! I am so proud of our penguins, they truly have the heart of Champions, they just have the IT factor that allows them to win such big games. They have a great amount of talent coming up thru the pipes next year, I'm saying Daniel Sprong has a huge year next year. Maybe Aston-Reese close 2nd. Much love to all my fellow pens fans!!
I started pulling for the Penguins in 94 and when I found out they went back to back in 91 and 92 I felt so robbed of being just a few years short of seeing back to back cups. I now feel vindicated. Thank you Pittsburgh Penguins!!
It's awesome to see a fan base like Nashville rise up like they did. This is coming from a Penguins fan. Obviously I like seeing my city come together to watch the Penguins, but we kind of have been there done that. That doesn't make it any less special.
I tell people here we are spoiled but as a true fan I don't care. Pittsburgh earned this hands down. Probably the most underrated championship of the 5 and if anyone bets against the three peat... You don't bet against Crosby ever.
Kbholla 'No way they would get a back to back' is what everyone was saying last year.....anything is possible especially with this team. they were extremely less than perfect in these playoffs but they showed up when it counted and mattered and here they are.
Can we replace Toews with Malkin on the top 100 list? I already have, in my mind. : ) Oh, and the guy who took the shot on the blown call should've been suspended. He's the same guy who cross-checked Maatta in the face towards the end of the game 5 blowout. The league said they were going to crack down on match penalties at the end blow out games.
Frase Fra maybe if malkin backchecked or gave a little effort every now and then he would, but for now leave that spot for someone that works their ass off to get it
Rainbow_waif lmao. You're an idiot. Toews is a glorified game manager. Malkin>>>>>>>>>>>>toews. Not even close toews homer. Malkin works his ass off just like the rest of them.
Im a sharks fan and I have to say that game 6 loss broke my heart more than when the Sharks lost in game 6. I say this because my Sharks were completely dominated and only stood a chance because of Jones but the Preds outplayed the Pens in every game except 2 and 5. I can't blame the Penguins because they weren't the one's making the calls but the refs inconsistency cost the Preds a goal in a game where it was near impossible to come by. Credit to the Penguins though because even in games 1 and 6 where they were dominated but came up with a win, they took advantage of every opportunity they had. Good luck to the Preds going forward. P.S. It's not uncommon to not score on four powerplays in a game, especially in a game where Murray was playing out of his mind (as was Rinne) P.P.S. It wasn't rigged, it was just god awful officiating throughout the playoffs and maybe a little bias.
Being better on the Stats sheet doesn't make you the better team . Scoring when it counts makes you the better team . Which makes the Pens all the more remarkable . The Pens had plenty of Calls against them and non calls also . Everyone ignores that though .
Its called Crosby is the poster child of the NHL so why WOULDNT they want him to win the Cup AND the Conn Smythe.. Its just a better story for the NHL, so the Ref was told to blow that whistle as SOON as possible on the no goal.
Andy Bennett Cry boy cry, just let it all out. Go home to your mommy and find a safe space. Its just hockey bro, you really think the Preds could beat a team they cant score on in 6 straight periods.
In the 3 play off runs where the pens won the cup. Evgheni Malkin: 1.14 pts/GM. Sidney Crosby: 1.07pts/GM. If Malkin plays on any other team he is considered the best player on the planet.
Yeah Malkin always gets the short stick . Kessel should have had MVP last year and Malkin this year . He was Drafted first but Crosby gets to be Face and Captain of the Team . We are blessed to have both but Malkin gets no respect .
Tyler Choncek I agree for the end of the Nashville series and last year Malkin deserved it just as much as Crosby... he only beat malkin by 1 pt and he played in one more game. Jake guentzel should have probably been in running as well.
What a classy guy right here. Honest reporting. Only this is, he didn't talk about the horrible penalties (and the 5 on 3) Pittsburgh got after the no goal. But most of all, we ARE spoiled right now, and I love it! GO PENS!
They got shot out and outplayed in way more games than last year, but they're an opportunistic team and find ways to win. Sullivan is already the best coach in pens history, malkin Crosby and kessel are a great trio, and supporting players like rust, sheary, and guentzel just make them great. An injured defense stepped up when they needed to, the goalies Murray, and fleury both played amazing. The pens just find ways to win.
Cheers from Pittsburgh... I honestly think Toronto is going to be a HUGE contender next year and for years to come. With Babcock coaching, and that young, fast, lethal team...
For any leafs fans that hate phil because he's winning get over it the trade worked out phenomenal for both ends. Pens got their cups. Toronto got Mathews and one of the brightest futures in the NHL
mitsx11 For me it was the Preds all because they were a major underdog and I love underdogs in the playoffs. It was a fantastic moment when they won the Western Conference finals to capture the Campbell Bowl.
A wonderful series. I was pulling for the Preds because they were such a wonderful story. However it's pretty cool to see the Pens win back to back Cups. History right there. It was an honor to be in attendance for Games 1 and 2 in Pittsburgh. I had so much fun. It was great. Have a great summer. See you boys in October. :-)
Hurts as an Ottawa fan. 1 goal away. We would of have a very very good chance of beating Nashville . We gave the current and defending cup champs the biggest run for their money. Game 7 ECF double OT.......
Penguins fan here Steve. Love your insight and views on hockey bro. Happy for your Maple Leafs too. I'd be shocked if Auston Matthews is not the Leafs Captain next yr. Def an exciting time to be an NHL fan. My two favorite teams are the Penguins and Predators. Still a huge James Neal fan. Never wanted my Pens to trade him. He has proved though he don't need his bff Evgeni Malkin to score goals. The trade was a win-win for both teams.
Warrior JWR I love the team the Leafs have right now. With Matthews there as well as Kadri, Lupul, Anderson, Nylander etc, this is a good young teen right now. Sure they lost in the first round to the Caps, however they did beat them in overtime and one of the games and they played them pretty competitively in my opinion. I think they are on the right track. We will see what happens however I think the future is looking bright for Leafs Nation. I would love to see them end the Cup curse and being home Lord Stanley for the first time in 50 years!! 😄❤❤❤❤
The Preds are a wondeful story and probably the coolest thing we have seen in quite a long time. A Cinderella story of doubt. This is why I love hockey, man. Anything can happen.
Great video Steve! I was wondering if you think that this puts Phil Kessel in the Hall of Fame contention? Given his 2 Stanley cups and crazy goal scoring consistency every season.
I like that people predict that the Penguins have the best odds of winning the Stanley Cup NEXT year. Like obviously...the last one was 2 days ago of course the defending champions look like they have the best team. People were saying in December that the Chicago Cubs were the favorites for winning the World Series this year when they had just won the last one, but they have a losing record right now. Could be the Penguins again, could be the Predators, could even be the Colorado Avalanche. Well, probably not, but you don't know yet. Come back in September and tell me the Penguins are going to win the Cup, but don't do it less than a week after they won the last one.
Matthew King You do realize most Leafs fans including me loved Phil right and were happy that he found success in Pittsburgh. The trade was a win-win situation you guys got two cups and we got Matthews, Kapanen and Andersen. The team was going nowhere with Phil so we had to finally trade him to rebuild.
Absolutely, the disallowed goal was a blown call. No question. What is in question is what would've transpired had the goal stood. People are like, "The Preds would've won the game 1-0 or at worst had a chance in overtime!" Uh, excuse me? Have you watched hockey? Are you really saying that teams play the exact same way when the score is 1-0 as they do when it's 0-0? If nothing else, maybe the refs would've called an actual penalty (or two) on the Preds because they weren't desperately trying to make up for the blown call. What happened, happened. Yeah, it blows, but it doesn't automatically mean the refs robbed you of a Cup. If nothing else, you had to win Game 7 on the road as well.
tired of the predators being portrayed as a lovable team that got jobbed. they've gotten literally EVERY CALL this playoffs, including the finals AND game 6. 4 power plays to zero? 5 on 3? yeah, the refs did their best to get nashville back in that game, they just sucked too much to finish what the refs began. nashville was given every break in the book on their way to the final, and in the final. losing despite all that proves how much of a fluke they really were. RIP Preds fans April 2017-June 2017
7:20 I feel like it was the music, we are pens fans but after the series my whole family wanted to go to a Nashville game just to experience the music and the atmosphere Or maybe PK too..
I will miss Marc Andre Fleury, but hey I want what's best for the guy. He has some good years left in him. I don't want that to be wasted as a backup, even if it's in a different city. I could seriously seeing him being a Vezina candidate next year. Maybe both him and Matt Murray, what a story that could be,
every team gets victimized by the early whistle, sucks but it happens. wasn't the first cup won by contreversial circumstances but theres not telling how the rest of game 6 plays out if the Pens trailed. even if it went to game 7, the Pens owned Rinne in that arena and probably woulda done it again making that early whistle an afterthought. bottom line, the Pens have a great team that got lucky, a formula that many Cup winning teams have employed.
the pens beingable to come back no matter who was hurt. Speaks volumes about A) there drafting and moves. and B) How great the WB Scranton baby pens are.
He said Pens didn`t lack depth at center. Sry they lost Bonnino in game 2 otherwise they would of Swept Trashville in this series. They lost games 3 and 4, and had to figure out adjustments.
I can tell you the answer to who knows who will be here next year. Number one, Daniel Sprong. Number 2, Zac Aston Reese. Those 2 are some of the best college prospects in the country, and they are both graduated and coming to Pittsburgh.
I think people rallied around the preds for a combination of the following: 1) Nashville the underdog feel good story 2) Subban winning the cup and spiting Montreal 3) Seeing the dominant Penguins not win once again (they're so good, I feel so many people just want to see someone else, anyone else beat them) 4) Fun Nashville crowds
Chris kunitz has 4 cups... one with the ducks 3 with the pens can we say. kunitz is either a one of the luckiest fwds in the nhl or a good line filler.
in my class we talked about the Stanley cup playoffs, me being the one Pittsburgh fan made the victory 10 times sweeter. Everyone was triggered that the pens [and Phil Kessel, my favourite player] won the Stanley cup.
I don't care what anyone says, in my opinion Crosby is the best player of all time. He can do it all: offence, defence, has a hockey IQ off the charts, great leader, and a proven winner. Plus he's not even 30
It hurts as a preds fan lol. It was a weird series because both teams got blown as visiting team but then penguins took over on game 6. I really wanted to see Rinne and Subban win the cup but they and the rest of nashvilles roster did very good however they didn't won the cup
1:24 "Tomas Holmstrom's butt caused nightmares for goalies for years" Reminds me of the first game of Schenn's career, Holmstrom scored two textbook crease-pest goals.
Even as a Penguins fan it baffles me we beat Washington. We were outshot 16-3 in the first period of Game 1 vs Columbus and that pretty much set the tone for the playoffs for us
If that goal counted, it doesn't necessarily mean it would've ended 1-1 after the 3rd. The rest of the game would've played out differently. Maybe Rinne would've played the game of his life and get the shoutout. Maybe the Pens would've came back with 5 unanswered. Maybe they would've traded goals until the final buzzer. But yeah...Still Kessel. :D
Lightning vs Predators in the 2018 Stanley Cup Final, if for no other reason than to watch the temper tantrum that the "Hockey doesn't work in the south" crowd will throw all series long.
Leaving Malkin off the top 100 list made the list completely irrelevant and pointless.
But his response was classically epic he said maybe if they have a top 101 I can make the list that's on par with Phil kessel's tweet during the Olympics👌
Right? They put Duncan Keith and not Evgeni Malkin or Jarome Iginla.
"Which College Free Agent..."
Zach Aston-Reese. You heard it here.
Oh and Daniel Sprong from the Q (I know that's not college)
Yeah Sprong is coming . Jarry is going to be back up too . We are truly blessed .
Hi Zach!
Hemi Head No he's not Annti Niemi is going to be back up
Drewman87 I see niemi as insurance, instead of a true back-up. Jarry has tons of potential, yet is still unproven. If niemi falters, rest assured, Jarry gets an opportunity to steal his spot.
I give M. Lemieux a lot of credit. Even as an owner he's a winner. He doesn't do anything half-ass, he brings in good people.
Mario Lemieux owns the Penguins along with the rest of the NHL teams!
Preds fan here, what a great season the Preds had. I'm so proud of them and everything they accomplished in the post season. I got to go to all most all the home games and had a blast at all of them. Pens thanks for the great Stanley Cup final. I hope we have another chance to take y'all down.
Nice attitude Jeff . Too bad your fellow fans aren't like you . You gave us a good run . Good Luck next season .
Hemi Head sick dive bonino
@@hemihead001 There are plenty of them as a matter of fact. Congrats on a great era. As well as you guys are playing so far this year, another deep run seems likely
Sergei Gonchar has done an incredible job with that defense!
fmthebaron Such great hockey IQ that guy has.
thanks Washington capitals for Sergei :3
SARGE!!!
Sergei Gonchar and Jacques Martin
true, Schultz really found his game
When that goal went in, my dad, brother and I looked at eachother and simultaneously said, "can't wait for everyone to hate us even more".
Unreal team, I honestly think we could do it again next year. Sidney Crosby had arguably the greatest year in hockey ever 3 Championships 3 MVP awards and a goal scoring title.
"People hate greatness." Wow. True I guess. I hope they 3peat but I'm following Fleury wherever he goes. What a good dude and awesome goalie!
BACK 2 BACK CHAMPS AGAIN LIKE WE DID IN 91' AND 92'!
🏆💍🏆💍🏆💍🏆💍🏆💍
Jon Gomez so very true
Celebrating the STANLEY CUP TITLE (*again*) in the parade makes up for it tho Brendan Smith...tune in on Wednesday with some "home ice" in you're cup and check out OUR STANLEY CUP celebration 😎

the Pittsburgh Hydras.... I like it

Kessel is still a stanley cup champion!!!

I have been waiting for this video since the last seconds ticked off the clock in game 6, you don't understand how much I wanted this!
I started pulling for the Penguins in 94 and when I found out they went back to back in 91 and 92 I felt so robbed of being just a few years short of seeing back to back cups. I now feel vindicated. Thank you Pittsburgh Penguins!!

Thanks Steve! We had some early exits from 2010-2015, but this is the team we all thought we'd have... SO LUCKY WE ARE!!!
Also I just want to say I really enjoy your enthusiasm and your channel. It's really a lot of fun! I hope you do a lot of post season videos.
I tell people here we are spoiled but as a true fan I don't care. Pittsburgh earned this hands down. Probably the most underrated championship of the 5 and if anyone bets against the three peat... You don't bet against Crosby ever.
Uh they were spoon fed the Caps series
Six God More like force fed, by the flower. they didnt want the series but they got it.
Salvatore Joseph they didnt deserve the cup
There will be no threepeat buddy. Ill bet you all day
Kbholla 'No way they would get a back to back' is what everyone was saying last year.....anything is possible especially with this team. they were extremely less than perfect in these playoffs but they showed up when it counted and mattered and here they are.

Gh0stBustaz11 You are a very special kind of stupid.
Gh0stBustaz11 i think a surprising underdog is a better story
Andy Bennett Cry boy cry, just let it all out. Go home to your mommy and find a safe space. Its just hockey bro, you really think the Preds could beat a team they cant score on in 6 straight periods.

Harry Balls The reason Crosby won conn smythe is because he was better than Malkin the ottawa and Nashville series. he turned it up a notch.
If Malkin was Canadian and not Russian****
Tyler Choncek I agree for the end of the Nashville series and last year Malkin deserved it just as much as Crosby... he only beat malkin by 1 pt and he played in one more game. Jake guentzel should have probably been in running as well.

What A Season!!!! Lets Go Pens!!

Simply Basic bet
Hotnoodles87 Yaaaaaaa Buddy!!!!!!!!
Somehow I had never heard of Steve Dangle before this post season. I have to say, you are awesome! I love your passion and sense humor.
For any leafs fans that hate phil because he's winning get over it the trade worked out phenomenal for both ends. Pens got their cups. Toronto got Mathews and one of the brightest futures in the NHL
Pittsburgh penguins 2018 Stanley cup champs
Yeha
don't jink it
Never
+Dew Forbes i am sorry dude what are you talking about
+Dew Forbes never what
last year, Phil kessel found out how many hotdogs fit in the Stanley Cup, this year will be how many cheeseburgers
mitsx11 It was an honor to be at PPG Arena for Games 1 and 2 of the Finals. So much fun. Loved it.
Matthew Jay Evans I didn't even know who to cheer for to be honest. I loved both teams
mitsx11 Lol lol what about how many Pizza slices?!?!?!?!?!?
Matthew Jay Evans next year hopefully hahaha
mitsx11 For me it was the Preds all because they were a major underdog and I love underdogs in the playoffs. It was a fantastic moment when they won the Western Conference finals to capture the Campbell Bowl.
A wonderful series. I was pulling for the Preds because they were such a wonderful story. However it's pretty cool to see the Pens win back to back Cups. History right there. It was an honor to be in attendance for Games 1 and 2 in Pittsburgh. I had so much fun. It was great. Have a great summer. See you boys in October. :-)
Great video, unbiased. Well spoken. Subbed
Gotta say PREDS WILL BE BACK in the exact same spot.(maybe a different team, hopefully) we will have fiala and johanson back for the next.
They did it back to back game 6’s
I'm pretty sure the reason a lot of people were rooting for the Preds was because they were playing the Pens.
dangle, you're a beaut! thanks for the season.
I think this is the third time I've watched this video and it still makes me so happy. :)
Praise be Phil
king dave PRAISE BE THE THRILL
what a great year to start my journey with hockey, i absolutely fell in love with this sport
Hurts as an Ottawa fan. 1 goal away. We would of have a very very good chance of beating Nashville . We gave the current and defending cup champs the biggest run for their money. Game 7 ECF double OT.......
Get ready for Daniel Sprong, Steve.
😬
Penguins fan here Steve. Love your insight and views on hockey bro. Happy for your Maple Leafs too. I'd be shocked if Auston Matthews is not the Leafs Captain next yr. Def an exciting time to be an NHL fan. My two favorite teams are the Penguins and Predators. Still a huge James Neal fan. Never wanted my Pens to trade him. He has proved though he don't need his bff Evgeni Malkin to score goals. The trade was a win-win for both teams.
Warrior JWR I love the team the Leafs have right now. With Matthews there as well as Kadri, Lupul, Anderson, Nylander etc, this is a good young teen right now. Sure they lost in the first round to the Caps, however they did beat them in overtime and one of the games and they played them pretty competitively in my opinion. I think they are on the right track. We will see what happens however I think the future is looking bright for Leafs Nation. I would love to see them end the Cup curse and being home Lord Stanley for the first time in 50 years!! 😄❤❤❤❤
The Preds are a wondeful story and probably the coolest thing we have seen in quite a long time. A Cinderella story of doubt. This is why I love hockey, man. Anything can happen.
Great video Steve! I was wondering if you think that this puts Phil Kessel in the Hall of Fame contention? Given his 2 Stanley cups and crazy goal scoring consistency every season.
Love your videos and insight dangle! wish your leafs luck next year...well unless they play the Pens!!!!!!!
*Pekka Rinne is too good right now*
Good God, I busted a nut laughing at this video...you are the greatest and great overview of "the run"...keep em coming...
My birthday is on June 16th and these early birthday gifts are GREAT I feel spoiled

Come back in September and tell me the Penguins are going to win the Cup, but don't do it less than a week after they won the last one.

Diana Tunon it's not his channel. It's sports net
I just saw that. :(((((( Derp.
WAY TO GO SPORTSNET! 99K! : /
haha, just thought id point it out :p
Daniel Sprong next year, mark my words.
Guentzel-Crosby-Sprong?
Randy Moser and aston reese
Randy Moser ya
Baby Pens are loaded . Jarry will be up too .
Zach Aston-Reese
Oohhhh, suck it Toronto. Miss him yet? We love him down here in the Burgh.
I don't.
Matthew King Kapanen>cheeseburger Phil
Matthew King You do realize most Leafs fans including me loved Phil right and were happy that he found success in Pittsburgh. The trade was a win-win situation you guys got two cups and we got Matthews, Kapanen and Andersen. The team was going nowhere with Phil so we had to finally trade him to rebuild.
malkin is definitely top 50
Which College Free Agent? Zach-Aston Reese. Or Second round pick Daniel Sprong.
The damn right they are!!!
great post Dangle !

Yeah, it blows, but it doesn't automatically mean the refs robbed you of a Cup. If nothing else, you had to win Game 7 on the road as well.
Thanks Steve.
thats not a kids shirt Steve... youre just JACKED
tired of the predators being portrayed as a lovable team that got jobbed. they've gotten literally EVERY CALL this playoffs, including the finals AND game 6. 4 power plays to zero? 5 on 3? yeah, the refs did their best to get nashville back in that game, they just sucked too much to finish what the refs began.
nashville was given every break in the book on their way to the final, and in the final. losing despite all that proves how much of a fluke they really were.
RIP Preds fans April 2017-June 2017
7:20 I feel like it was the music, we are pens fans but after the series my whole family wanted to go to a Nashville game just to experience the music and the atmosphere
Or maybe PK too..
.
Ummmmmm....this video was awesome! Loved every single word of it. Well done! And, thank you, yes, we are SPOILED. Go Pens!!!!!!!!!!!! THREE-PEAT!!!
I will miss Marc Andre Fleury, but hey I want what's best for the guy. He has some good years left in him. I don't want that to be wasted as a backup, even if it's in a different city. I could seriously seeing him being a Vezina candidate next year. Maybe both him and Matt Murray, what a story that could be,
Funny how when the actual audio between Crosby & PK came out Subban went quite & Nashville didn't win another game.
every team gets victimized by the early whistle, sucks but it happens. wasn't the first cup won by contreversial circumstances but theres not telling how the rest of game 6 plays out if the Pens trailed. even if it went to game 7, the Pens owned Rinne in that arena and probably woulda done it again making that early whistle an afterthought. bottom line, the Pens have a great team that got lucky, a formula that many Cup winning teams have employed.

dangle is the best period.
I think people rallied around the preds for a combination of the following:
1) Nashville the underdog feel good story
2) Subban winning the cup and spiting Montreal
3) Seeing the dominant Penguins not win once again (they're so good, I feel so many people just want to see someone else, anyone else beat them)
4) Fun Nashville crowds
Chris kunitz has 4 cups... one with the ducks 3 with the pens can we say. kunitz is either a one of the luckiest fwds in the nhl or a good line filler.
John Day That and an Olympic gold medalist. O_O
Could’ve had two more with lighting and pens but they threw
I was at game one of the Stanley Cup final in 2016 and 2017.
thanks for your respect. most fans other than pgh hate us. they are better than Chicago
in my class we talked about the Stanley cup playoffs, me being the one Pittsburgh fan made the victory 10 times sweeter. Everyone was triggered that the pens [and Phil Kessel, my favourite player] won the Stanley cup.
I don't care what anyone says, in my opinion Crosby is the best player of all time. He can do it all: offence, defence, has a hockey IQ off the charts, great leader, and a proven winner. Plus he's not even 30
It hurts as a preds fan lol. It was a weird series because both teams got blown as visiting team but then penguins took over on game 6. I really wanted to see Rinne and Subban win the cup but they and the rest of nashvilles roster did very good however they didn't won the cup
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Steve go through this entire video without mentioning Pekka Rinne?
So happy to see the Pens go back to back. If a Western team takes a cup I would root for the Oilers
1:24 "Tomas Holmstrom's butt caused nightmares for goalies for years"
Reminds me of the first game of Schenn's career, Holmstrom scored two textbook crease-pest goals.
I'm a Pens fan and you are right. Should not have blown that whistle.
The pens this year are the 2nd best team of the 2000s when healthy. #1 I would have to credit to 2001-02 red wings.
2:38 funniest part 😂😂
Can we be real? The Penguins were outplayed almost every playoff game this year. How they did it is beyond fathom
I think they rigged a couple games in the Pens favor. Look at how many blown calls there were? I hate the offsides rules btw
Even as a Penguins fan it baffles me we beat Washington. We were outshot 16-3 in the first period of Game 1 vs Columbus and that pretty much set the tone for the playoffs for us
They're just opportunistic and know how to win
Avery Tatavitto the Crosby/Malkin effect
And the Fleury/Murray effect.
And to think the east was stronger that year if Ottawa made the finals that year we would have won our first Stanley cup
Yellow vs Yellow, a final for the ages.
we are the champions of a world
Liked✔ Subscribed✔ Great video. Go Pens!!
Crosby is the greatest of all time and everyone knows it
I will miss you Marc-Andre Fleury.
Greatest Pens Goalie ever.
If that goal counted, it doesn't necessarily mean it would've ended 1-1 after the 3rd. The rest of the game would've played out differently. Maybe Rinne would've played the game of his life and get the shoutout. Maybe the Pens would've came back with 5 unanswered. Maybe they would've traded goals until the final buzzer.
But yeah...Still Kessel. :D
We still have Reese a kid who was nominee for the bakers award (and a lot of ppl said he should have won it) and we have Sprong still🔥🔥🔥👀👀😴
Lightning vs Predators in the 2018 Stanley Cup Final, if for no other reason than to watch the temper tantrum that the "Hockey doesn't work in the south" crowd will throw all series long.
RAZ6ne id love this 😂
RAZ6ne got close. That might happen but guess what. Your pens ain’t losing
"Hydra" - great comparison.
