What makes this year’s season different for the Pittsburgh Penguins, you may ask? Well, this year, the Penguins will be experiencing something different when it comes to their relationship with another team. Who might that team be? Well it’s none other than our divisional rival Washington Capitals.
Now why might this season be different? Well, for the longest time, the Penguins had the upper advantage on the Capitals and their fans. If we lost a game to them, we always had the upper hand when it came to the one thing that mattered–we had Stanley Cups and they didn’t.
