Ron Cook: Penguins one win from being legendary team

I’m not going to suggest for one second that the 2017 Penguins are better than their 1992 brothers in pucks. The 1992 Penguins had Mario Lemieux, who, when healthy, was the best hockey player of all time. It had four other Hall of Famers, five if you count Jaromir Jagr. It won its final 11 playoff games by a combined score of 47-24, sweeping Boston in the Eastern Conference final and Chicago in the Stanley Cup final to win a second consecutive championship. It was picked this week as the NHL’s second-greatest team behind the 1984-85 Edmonton Oilers as part of the league’s 100-year celebration.
