Penguins to go undefeated in Stanley Cup Playoffs?

pittsburgh pens stanley cup

It's been pretty much a given Pittsburgh will win the this year's Stanley Cup. It's well documented how everything fell into place for the Pens, a combination of years of top draft picks, and a dilution of talent in NHL accelerated with the most recent labor agreement. Never before in NHL history has one team collected so much more talent compared the other teams in league.

I know people will say one bad night by the goalie could ruin it, but after looking the team in the east, it's not outside the realm of possibilities the Pens could -----

Go Undefeated in the Playoffs.

If the don't go undefeated, the Penguins could break the all-time record for consecutive NHL playoff wins. The current record is 11 held by the Canadiens, Pens, and Blackhawks all during the early 90s.

I predicted only 2 losses on the way to the Cup, now I want to call a mulligan - as this team could not lose 1.
