Here we go again, folks. The Penguins’ next obstacle blocking the pathway of their miraculous three-peat effort is, naturally, a second round clash with the Washington Capitals. Considering how superstitious this Pittsburgh team is, it’s kind of fitting that a third-consecutive Stanley Cup try is following the exact same footsteps of its previous championship victories. What would a salary cap era Penguins’ Cup be without ripping out the hearts of every single Capital player and fan, and then banishing them to the golf links after Round 2?
Well...let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
