The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a precarious position. The franchise has been blessed for decades with Mount Rushmore-level players like Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby, and supported by future Hall of Famers like Jaromir Jagr, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang. Whether the team was good or not, there was always the chance that something special would occur on a nightly basis.
For years, the Penguins were the class of the NHL. Brilliant playoff series against the Washington Capitals, incredible Game 7 victories and three Stanley Cups in four Cup Final appearances in the salary cap era (since 2005-06).
