As much as people dump on the Morrow(s) trade, J. Morrow hasn't exactly amounted to much of anything, and B. Morrow was playing pretty well until he got injured.
Who cares about a series that happened four years ago?
When your GM adds a future HOF winger and the coach insists on playing him on his off-wing to accommodate lesser players it pretty much sums up everything you need to know about that coach.
Well then your opinion is biased and can't be taken seriously. The Boston Bruins spanked the Penguins on the ice in one of the most lob-sided ECF's ever. It was men against boys.
Boston swept them in four straight games 4-0.
Boston outscored them 12-2 (wow) in the series, only allowing two goals the entire series.
Crosby was held pointless in four games.
Malkin was held pointless in four games.
Rask posted two shutouts in the four games.
Penguins went 0-15 on the powerplay.
Neal and Iginla held pointless as well.
Spanked. Royally spanked. In fact, it was the first time they had been swept in a playoff series since 1979...
...to the Boston Bruins.
This may have been the worst spanking and beatdown in the history of the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise. No wins, four losses, two goals.
Didn't want to bring out the stats and facts to 2013 Penguin you, but find me a bigger beatdown of the Penguins in their playoff history that wasn't the Bruins.
Oh, and my breath is salty from tasting your tears.
But was it as much fun as the Pens obliterating the Bruins in '91 and '92 on their way to winning the Cup those years? Asking for a friend.
People forgot to account for the Dan Bylsma factor.
Anaheim??? Stick to Wrasslin'!!

We got a sweetener with a 3rd rounder there, though. Jake Guentzel is not that badThat's true, Joe Morrow sucks now, but Morrow wasn't exactly great here. I don't have a problem with trading Joe Morrow, I just didn't like the Morrow for Morrow trade.
Considering the Penguins were stupid stacked during those years and the B's had Bourque and not much else (they had oft-injured Neely), its not all that fantastic.

The 2013 Bruins-Penguins series was moreso a Pittsburgh offensive failure.
I thought Vokoun played pretty decently in goal.
So, nothing. Gotcha. Worst beatdown in Penguins history happened. #ItHappened
Everything else I already addressed in the thread. It's just funny to see you get so upset about a beatdown that happened 3 years ago. It was the worst in their history however so I can see how you'd choose to try and forget it.
Maybe the fluke was the Penguins getting that far to face the Bruins that year? Leafs put up a much better series and fight that year.

.
Doesn't matter if you take a lead early on or later on.
Yes it does. If you take a 2-0 series lead, you put ALL the pressure on the other team which gives you a huge advantage.
With the Crosby line on fire and the depth they have, its starting to feel like consecutive cups for Pittsburgh. Is Letang going to be back for the playoffs?
Ok, thanks!Nobody knows exactly what is wrong with him or when he could be back. He has been skating before practice the last few days.
For all the speed and experience of the Pens, it boils down to this:
Can they get anything close to the goaltending they got last spring?
leafs if we go by regular season games.
