Maybe they can call it the NBA Finals MVP?

The Penguins, with better players, bought into the new philosophy with the new coaching. You can see it the way they swarm, forechecking and backchecking. They way EVERY player is out there blocking shots. Trotz is a great coach, but you don’t see their guys blocking shooting lanes and laying out for pucks the way you…

Almost every single one of his violations was a technicality: 1) prior to even entering NFL 2) backup sample to a lower threshold than Olympic athletes and law enforcement is held 3) having 2 drinks on a flight in the offseason 4) missing a test

Meanwhile Josh Gordon’s teammates are regular injected with unknown substances by team officials.

They ran into a team that blocked shots while failing to make the same efforts.

I pretty much agree with all of this. A lot of those leadership issues were at the front office level. And like you said, Fleury wasn’t totally to blame for being a nutcase those years. But you don’t see the Capitals players going all out on defense to block shots and disrupt the opposing offense like we’ve seen with…

I don’t think it’s character ‘issues’ per se. Caps are fine. But they lacked the effort the Penguins showed on the defensive end and that overall character was the difference that helped a weakened team win.

From 20010-2015 the Penguins were great regular season teams that tanked in the playoffs, while the Blackhawks won 3 cups. The common statement was that it was a difference in leadership.

This happens frequently? (ok one time in bad weather we ran out of gas circling and had to land at another airport to…
