Pens Points: SCF Game 1

Good morning one and all,

May is about to turn into June and the Pens are still playing hockey. Not something we would have predicted back in December, when Mike Sullivan took over the team. But his combination of passion, accountability and resilience was key for the transformation we've witnessed. [Penguins]

Mike Sullivan played on the inaugural 1991-92 Sharks team and is remembered by former teammates as a high-knowledge and character guy who had all the makings of a future coach. [San Jose Mercury News]

In a supremely interesting twist, Mike Sullivan was both Joe Thornton's teammate and later head coach with the Boston Bruins.
