The Penguins didn’t struggle from 2010-2016 though.
They had three second round series go to seven games. They took Tampa to seven games without Sid and Geno and then made an ECF. 2012 and 2015 were the only disappointments there.
I guess it depends on what expectations you have for the team. It's not even a "cup or bust" idea, if you get swept in a series and only score 2 goals, that's not good. If you blow a 3-1 series lead when you get 3 goals in your last 3 games, that's not good. 2011 and 2015 were the only years there that weren't disappointments, just because I expected those performances in those years.
Either way, my original comment didn't warrant this side track, so I'm just going to call it quits now. My original statement wasn't relevant enough for me to bother arguing it
