Smilin' Like a Butcher's Dog

The long grind is over...in one of the best comebacks ever seen in professional sports, the Pens went from being out of the playoffs in 10th place in mid-February, to hoisting the Cup after 4 grueling rounds of playoffs. To me the most impressive aspect of the whole deal was how each and every member of that team contributed. The marquis players lived up to their reps and anchored this thing, but the "role" players clinched it. Even if you're a fair weather hockey fan, I hoped you jumped on the bandwagon, because we witnessed what in my mind is one of the most historic chapters and moments in Pittsburgh sports history.

You can have your Steelers - I'll take the Pens.
