Ron Cook: Penguins will ultimately prevail in Stanley Cup final

So you are tired, disappointed, perhaps even angry if you paid thousands for a ticket to get into Consol Energy Center Thursday night?

Get over it.

The Penguins still are going to win the Stanley Cup.

Yes, it would have been great if it had happened in Game 5 and the Penguins had become the first Pittsburgh team to clinch a major championship in the city since Pirates icon Bill Mazeroski homered at 3:36 p.m. Oct. 13, 1960, to beat the seemingly unbeatable New York Yankees. The largest crowd in Consol history was inside the throbbing building, including the great Maz himself, now 79, vigorously waving a rally towel.
