from Shawn P. Roarke of NHL.com,
The lessons learned from last spring’s grueling climb to the hockey mountain—one that ended just two wins short of reaching the desired peak—were the foundation, they say, of the comeback the Penguins fashioned against the favored Washington Capitals in the second round.
“We’ve had some challenges and gone through different things,” Pittsburgh superstar Sidney Crosby said after Sunday’s practice. “I look back to last year, and pretty much every game we really played well in the playoffs. We found a way to win.
“There have been times in these playoffs where we’ve played some good hockey and haven’t gotten breaks. That can be frustrating and that can force you to change things. But I think we’ve really stuck by what we need to do to play well and to be successful. And going through those things builds confidence for sure.”
