2017NHL Playoff 斯坦利杯,皮茨堡企鹅队王者归来,创薪资封顶时代历史性胜利.
近二十年来没有一个冰球队连着两年斯坦利杯冠军,尤其是salary cap 年代以来,这是第一次有球队连得两年自尊王者杯the Lord Stanley Cup. 体坛里公认最难得的冠军。
看看这一路企鹅队遭遇的对手,每一轮七场四打三胜的比赛. 今天来倒数一下。最后一轮的对手是今年势不可挡的音乐之都球队Nashville Predators. 他们一路创造自己球队纪录,在首轮以最末一位晋级赛后季系列赛,第一轮以迅雷不比之势干掉西部常规赛季排名第一的传统强队芝加哥黑鹰队。干掉黑鹰给Nashville Predators 打了鸡血一般,一路高歌进了决赛。
这两个人P.K. Suban 和Sidney Crosby 决赛中剑拔弩张,口水战,媒体煽风点火让两人在场上时时短兵相接。第五场比赛赛前苏班接受媒体采访时说:口水战没有用,还是要在冰上赢了才是真正的赢!当时他们正好主场两场痛扁企鹅,说这番话的时候他估计也是信心满满。有他在,媒体永远不愁找不到话题:)
Game 6 尘埃落地之后的握手, 场上场下擦枪走火,落幕的时候运动员精神还是要的:)
渥太华议员队和企鹅队的东部决赛,打得难分难解,一直打了足足七场,最后一场两次加时才让企鹅晋级,渥太华打得相当不错,惜败,队长卡尔森真正的帅哥一枚
首都队又一次梦折企鹅,俄国名将阿里克斯去年今年都败在同一个对手手上,只能说时运不济
斯坦利杯的难得在于这个赛后季的比赛不是一轮两轮,而是四轮车轮滚滚的大战. 第一轮对Columbus Blue Jackets, 在常规赛季中,他们曾把企鹅打得满地找牙7:1
开心大队伍, 这不是一个人的比赛,是整个团队. 守门,防守,进攻,队长的号召力,教练团队,管理人员,老板,每一个人都以不同的方式贡献,才能走到这一步
队员们,这一路走来,真心不易. 满打满算4*7=28场比赛,必须赢4*4=16场才能最终捧杯。
个人认为他是这个时代最厉害的冰球运动员,他的激情,热情,强烈的愿望,卓绝的领袖能力,我服
两个好搭档,2009到现在,一起携手拿下三次斯坦利杯
两个最棒的守门员 Murry, Fleury
连着两年最有价值球员 Sidney Crosby
强大的守门员 Fleury (the best story of the playoffs was how former starting goalie Marc-Andre Fleury regained that job when rookie Matt Murray was injured during warm-ups in the first game of the playoffs. Fleury was in net for nine of the 16 victories the Penguins needed to win the Cup before Murray returned from injury to replace Fleury after a shaky third-round game against Ottawa and was in net for Pittsburgh's final seven playoff wins.)
不可思议的小将守门 Mat Murry,去年做为替补替代受伤的主发门将。结果表现神勇,主发门将的地位受到威胁. 因为去年打的比赛场次不够,今年他还算新人, 连着两年做为rookie, 最佳守门员豪无争议. Calm, focus, self-control
明星后卫Kris Letang因为受伤做了手术缺失,也没有让他们失去信心
NHL Playoff 有一个传统,进赛后季比赛开始就不刮胡子,他们相信这可以给他们带来好运. 大家还一起比看谁的胡子长。捧杯后就不用迷信了,胡子刮掉帅多了
Playoff MVP and Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was knocked out for the better part of two games with a concussion against the Washington Capitals, and the Penguins played without their best defenseman, Kris Letang, who had neck surgery before the playoffs.
As the players took the stage to PPG Paints Arena announcer Ryan Mill's introductions, fans also learned that Ian Cole, another defenseman, played through a broken hand and broken ribs. And Brian Bonino, who broke his leg blocking a shot but still finished Game 2 of the finals before missing the rest, hobbled around on crutches while taking selfies with fans.
