After 21 losing seasons, the Pittsburgh Pirates broke their 21 year losing season streak.  This streak broke all records across every professional sport across the entire world btw!!

 

As we say in Pittsburgh, Raise the Jolly Roger!!!

They were so bad. I remember them going against the Marlins at Miami. I couldn't believe someone sucked more than the Marlins...

Penguins took the cup in 09, and also had the most skilled group of 18 players ever to touch the ice in 12/13 :).  Oh ya and I remember 2 super bowls since I was in 9th grade xD

Penguins won in 09 by a lucky save and got SWEPT this past season. Crosby, Malkin, and Neal scoreless.

This is what happens when you have the best team to ever touch the ice expecting the cup to be mailed to them.  They did it back in 93 sadly and to their defense they went to the finals 2 years in a row taking the cup once.  If you say that crossbar save was the reason why we won the cup in 09, they hit the post/crossbar 31 times during the playoffs this year, so add 31 goals to our total and they woulda won the cup.  The running joke is, the Boston Bruins goal post shoulda won the MVP because it saved 25 goals for them.

There was only one game winning save...

Best team  to ever touch the ice? Hahaha pleeeeeeeeeease, take a seat hockey noob ;)

I played as a kid and have followed hockey since I could walk.  You take 3 captains from 3 other teams, pair them with the top 2 players in the league, 2 MVP Goalies, a Norris trophie winner 2 years in a row, the top line in hockey (+81) Kunitz Dupres and Crosby, with the number 1 power play scorer, I would beg to differ.  But opinions are opinions for a reason.

Two MVP goalies? Norris trophy hasn't been awarded to a Penguins player or someone who has played for the Penguins since what, the 80s?

 

You only had two Captains. You had Iginla and Morrow. Those two are nothing to be serious about.

 

My sides.

Sport? Do you mean things like DOTA and Starcraft? Or something oldscool like Warhammer? Or do believe the nonsense rumors that non-techies spread about exercise and sport away from computers?
