Not the biggest team. (Marchessault is listed at 5’9”.) Certainly not the most talented. But they play with heart.
As a longstanding Pens fan, I had been jaded and spoiled in recent years.
This run for me has all the excitement and more of the Pens’ first Cup in 90-91. No way to describe the feeling.
Embrace this moment in history. No one knows how all this will end in the finals. I do know, however, that this band of misfits and castoffs, this band of brothers bound by tragedy and fate, will be part of hockey lore ... forever.
