Even with an injury to Sidney Crosby that kept him sidelined for much of the 2007-08 NHL season, the Pittsburgh Penguins flat blew out their competition in the NHL and the Atlantic Division. Putting up ridiculous points against the best in the NHL, the Pittsburgh Penguins were the most feared team in hockey. A tough 2008 Stanley Cup Finals meeting with the Detroit Red Wings did not go the Pittsburgh Penguins way but bonded the team and makes them favorites to return to the Finals once again.
The heart of the Pittsburgh Penguins offense is obviously C Sidney Crosby. Bar none the best player in the NHL, Sidney Crosby is a certified scoring machine and the face of hockey. C Evgeni Malkin is another superstar that put up 106 points in the 2007-08 NHL season and will be an unstoppable duo with Sidney Crosby. New LW Pascal Dupuis will provide another offensive weapon along with RW Petr Sykora. The impressive corps of forwards is the most impressive collection of talent in the NHL and will carry the Pittsburgh Penguins far.
To make the Pittsburgh Penguins true nightmares for their opponents, the defense is made of high-level talent as well. G Marc-Andre Fleury is one of the best at the position at an early age and has already had many shutouts in his career. D Ryan Whitney is a hard hitter and a scoring threat all his own. Five-time All-Star D Sergei Gonchar is a leader in the Pittsburgh Penguins defense and an excellent shooter when he gets the puck. With a shutout goaltender and excellent shooting defensemen, the Pittsburgh Penguins defense is truly elite.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are the beasts of the best division in hockey, the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. Rivals like the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers, and the New Jersey Devils will be a challenge, but lack the pure talent to hang with the Penguins. From their home ice in the historic Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Penguins will not let their fans or Mario Lemieux down in the 2008-09 season.
