I am reading the previous pages and wow, EVERYONE (including me) gave up on the Penguins after Game 2. This is another reason why the Lakers should not tank Game 5, by the way.

I keep hearing this, since it's clearly working for the Islanders, Phoenix, Dallas, Colorado, etc.
And the team ALMOST FUCKING MOVED when they were 'tanking' these seasons.

I still want to know how the Penguins were doing something wrong here. They did not 'tank' anything. They were a financial disaster and almost moved. They did 'luck into' getting Malkin and Crosby, but they still had to develop the guys and put a team around them. I'd like to see Phoenix in the Cup back to back years in the few years. Anyone wanna wager they don't make it?
