Penguins captain Sidney Crosby says winning the Cup gets harder every year
TORONTO — It’s been more than 30 years since an NHL team has completed a Stanley Cup three-peat.
Could the Pittsburgh Penguins end that drought this season?
Captain Sidney Crosby says winning the NHL’s top prize gets harder every year given how much parity there is in the league.
“The league is just so tight,” Crosby said Wednesday at the Hockey Hall of Fame, where the Penguins gathered to donate a ring from their second Cup victory last spring. “Feels like every year it just gets tighter and tighter. There’s just no separation from team to team. I think that it brings out the best in everyone, individually and teams as well. It certainly makes for a test every night because there really is no separation between all the teams out there.”
