FACTS:
Pavel Datsyuk was 30-year old on his last Stanley Cup Final. Never saw Finals again.
Henrik Zetterberg was 29-year old on his last Stanley Cup Final. Never saw Finals again.
Johan Franzen was 29-year old on his last Stanley Cup Final. Never saw Finals again.
Evgeny Malkin was 30-year old on his last Stanley Cup Final.
Sidney Crosby was 29-year old on his last Stanley Cup Final.
Phil Kessel was 29-year old on his last Stanley Cup Final.
Maybe the Penguins peak has passed. Just like Hawks. They continue in upper mediocrity in parity league.
It's possible.
Only two years ago, nobody even knew if they'd get 2.
Now they have 3.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg might have been able to sneak another one or two with some health and some luck.
I imagine the same is true for Crosby and Malkin.
