Fifteen years ago today, the Penguins went into the Verizon Center for a series-deciding game with the Capitals and ran out of the building with an easy win.
It was 2009 and the Penguins had steamrolled their way through the Ottawa Senators in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
It was Penguins vs. Capitals and Crosby vs. Ovechkin in a battle of young guns and two offensively powered teams.
The first six games of the series were nothing short of heartburn inducing from dueling hat tricks to overtime games and everything in between.
