It’s not always about the destination, but the journey to get to that destination.
As a Tampa Bay Lightning fan, I can say without a doubt that the Pittsburgh Penguins are a tough team. I’ve seen it. I’ve witnessed it. My team was eliminated by them. Trust me, the Penguins are tough. That’s why they just won the Stanley Cup in six games against the statistically-better Sharks. But where did it all begin? When did the Penguins get so good?
It seemed like yesterday that the Penguins were struggling to win in the regular season. It seemed like yesterday they fired Mike Johnston and brought in Mike Sullivan in a desperate attempt to salvage the season.
