Well, there are a number of scrappy misfits/rookies, but yeah, there is also that core of three truly elite players. (Arguably four but Letang is controversial.) Still, considering two months ago people were arguing it would be better if they missed the playoffs as there was no way they'd make a deep run and it would be better if the team got the extra rest (and then Malkin, our starting goalie, and our backup goalie all got injured) it's still quite the overcoming adversity narrative.
I was the anon who said I was rooting for Pens to make the playoffs mostly to spite Rob Rossi, and my cup of schadenfreude is brimming, but I can still take more. Fuck you, Rossi! Pour me another glass of these top-quality pundit tears and garnish it with a hot take onna stick!
