I expect this could be a 5,000 word post of its own, but I haven't paid much attention to the Penguins since they won the cup, really. Why does everybody talk about Dan Bylsma as Barry Melrose v2.0?

He had a team loaded with offensive talent and an at least not-terrible defense. But other than the Stanley Cup win, it seemed like they'd mostly cruise through the regular season, then collapse in the playoffs. Teams like Philadelphia and others would work out how to get under Pittsburgh's skin and get them off their game and it never seemed like he adjusted to that. Nothing ever goes perfectly in the playoffs for anyone and the successful teams are able to adjust and tweak themselves based on what they're facing.

E: Go have a look at their recent playoff series with the Islanders and Blue Jackets. By all rights they should have wiped out the Isles and won comfortably against the Jackets.

I can understand wanting to let amazing talents like Crosby and Malkin be free to do what they want, but it seemed like he was never able to build a lot of support around them.

Someone can put this much better than me but that's how I've always seen it.

I believe Al Montoya's ever-present moon on the back of his mask is a nod to his cuban heritage, which is really cool
