As I watch all the teams develop and progress through the season, one team is beginning to emerge as a team that i think can come playoffs time be an absolute beast. they have the roster. they have the winning pedigree. they have the top-end elite leaders who know how to win. they have the coaching.
And no one is talking about them...
They have won the last two Cups. the Pittsburgh Penguins are in some respects "under the radar" even though they are 2-time defending champs. Amazing as that sounds --- that they are "sneaking up" on people. I think that, in fact, they are sneaking up on the league. they are getting better week-by-week and have all it takes to win the Cup again. You hear of the Bolts, the Preds, the VGK, the Bruins (now the #1 power according to NHL network), the Caps, even the Jets --- but little is said of the Pens....
But the Pens are a real threat.
For me it is a concern, because I would not want to see them win the Cup again. As a Hawk fan, I do not want the Pens to be the team of the decade --- i want it to be the Hawks. But...
I fear that the Pens will quietly roll into the playoffs and begin to dismantle people. they are legit.
Anyone else see them as a repeat (again) threat?
Always bet the field --- but that said, I really do not see any single team more likely to win than the Pens.
