While us shutting Cindy down in the final was probably a top highlight for me as well, I feel like my entire highlight of this series was us making Phil Kessel look like a frustrated try hard, and making Carl Hagelin look like he wasn't even playing. Those two players lit us up the last two playoff years, and Hagelin especially even though didn't play the whole series in the games he was in he wasn't even a factor.
It was Crosby and Guentzel for the part of the series the Pens played good, and even then...in Game Six those two players were almost invisible as well. So much in the media now is being talked about how the Pens didn't play at their level, but as far as I'm concerned, Kempny, Nisky, Orpik, Eller, Beagle, Chiasson, go down the line of our underrated defensive guys and grittier players that most of us here put way more stock in that just stars. Yeah our stars were scoring, but Trotz had enough guys pulling the systems rope effectively to neuter the so called "fast" offense of the Penguins.
