So it's just luck the penguins won back to back? Lol please.
O for sure. Their 2016 Cup was well earned. Their 2017 was not. Caps absolutely dominated that series but PIT got like 12-3 in terms of fluky, bouncing puck goals and Fleury stood on his head. Next round they get the freakn Senators who had no business being there. Fleury returned to Earth and got pulled, so Murray came in and killed it. They went Game OT to beat the freakn Senators. Then in the Finals they faced a Nashville team that had zero top 6 centers because Johansen got hurt the last game of the Western Conference Finals. They were extremely lucky to win the 2017 Cup. Should have been Caps.
You have to admit hockey is a very lucky sport. I believe some mathematician did the math and found hockey to be the flukiest of all sports. It's not to say good teams don't win, they usually do, but not as often as they should. It's what makes hockey the best.
