Meh, not really disappointing at all. Winning the Cup back to back in the salary cap era had never happened before for good reason. It takes a lot out of your team and last year they really had to gut it out. Two very short offseasons and a lot of bruises and turnover have clearly effected this team.
I'm not going to be that disappointed if they lose, so this season doesn't even come close to ranking among the biggest frustrations I've had with a Penguins season.
Once the Pens won the back to back Cups to finally add that extra bit of legacy to the Crosby/Malkin era, I was fine with them not winning again. 3 Cups in their career is more than Mario/Jagr did.
So while there will be some disappointment they couldn't pull off the three-peat, it'll be muted by the fact I'm already content with their legacy at this point.
