B2B cups means that I can just sit back and enjoy the ride from now on until Sid and Geno are retired. Until last season it was a struggle to see them go season after season without any success in playoffs. See the idiot coaches, or graigadamses in the 1st line. I really thought that the window closed after 2013 sweep. But then Sullivan happened These 1,5years have been so fullfilling for a Pens fan that its really hard to put it into words. Its a dream come true really, something that we waited for 10ish years. If there are no more cups for Sid+Geno era, im perfectly fine with it. If there are more, then great. But from now on, Im just going to enjoy #87 and #71 until they are done
About this season: Wsh series win was the most rewarding win I have ever witnessed. That was like a cup final for me. To see Fleury perform like that in game7, is indescribable. And then they go out and win the freakin cup again.Before the playoffs, in my wildest dreams, this team was max in ECF, just because of missing Letang. Then the Murray thing happened..then Sid. How on earth they did it? How on earth Kunitz and Fleury stepped up so big? How on earth our d handled things so well? How on earth they didnt crack under pressure?
This cup win is and will be absolutely unmatched. Its a pinnacle for this franchise, for the fans, for Sid and Geno..And the craziest part is that they could win it next year as well. But this one will stay top1 for me forever, thats for sure.
But as a Finn, i sure am happy its over..finally getting some proper sleep.
