Pittsburgh Penguins- 2009 Stanley Cup Champions on DVD
The Penguins, led by captain Sidney Crosby and such established stars as Conn Smythe winner Evgeni Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury reached the pinnacle of the hockey world through a memorable season that involved many challenges.
This package chronicles one of the more interesting comeback stories of 2009. Persevering through a loss in last year’s Stanley Cup finals to the Detroit Red Wings, roster changes and the firing of coach Michel Therrien and bringing in a rookie to shake things up, the Penguins go on to beat the Flyers, Capitals and Hurricanes in the playoffs to set up a revenge series in the NHL Finals and beat defending champion Detroit to bring back another trophy to Pittsburgh (the Steelers have the Super Bowl crown).
That is correct, the Penguins really did have lots of mountains to climb to earn their Stanley crown.
Penguins have the firepower to repeat.
Yeah the struggles have made this title particularly sweet.
