The Pittsburgh Penguins are the regular season East Division Champions and that in itself is a surprising development for me. It probably is for you as well. Maybe it should be.
Even though expectations for the Penguins were probably as low as they have been over the past 15 seasons when the season began I never bought the idea that they would miss the playoffs. At least not in the preseason. So you could say I expected them to be in the playoffs. Just did not expect them to be in first place. But here we are.
