2011 Season- Penguins

Well this season did not end the way I wanted to. I think we all thought Crosby would be back to lead to way to the Stanley Cup but it was not meant to be.  The Penguins failure on the Power Play (1/37 in the series) and failure to score goals in general really cost them their 3-1 series lead. They only scored 4 goals in the last 3 games of the series and that is not going to get the job done.  That said, the resilience shown by this team this year was amazing.  Finishing with the 2nd most points in franchise history after playing the majority of the season without Crosby, Malkin, and Staal is incredible.  This team deserves so much credit for what they have accomplished and I am looking forward to bringing the Cup back to Pittsburgh next season!
