Both of these narratives (the one you're talking about and what ayrt is talking about) exist in the media/in mainstream fandom in abundance. You remember best what annoys you most or strikes you as most ridiculous. If you don't like the Pens, it's probably all the Crosby apologia. If you're a Pens fans, it's the abundance narratives that do exist (especially among Pittsburgh media and a large portion of the fanbase) about how they're a team of chokers, mentally weak, underachieving, etc. It's not rocket science. Someone posted an espn article about how the Pens have underachieved the last seven years to r/hockey even today. People act like their selective, biased experiences and memories are "reality" -- just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't happen and people are making it up wholesale to be ~dramatic.

Whoa there, stop it with all that reasonableness! It's almost like sports culture isn't a monolith and multiple narratives can be created from the same set of facts with a little wishful thinking and some deft journalism!
