SAN JOSE, Calif. — These Penguins rarely did anything the easy way.
They needed a coaching change and series of personnel moves to lift
them out of an early-season sputter, then had to go on a late surge just
to secure a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Seemed only fitting, then, that they had to fight hard to earn the victory that has made them champions.
But the Penguins got it done Sunday night at the SAP Center, as they
defeated San Jose, 3-1, in Game 6 of the Cup final to secure the
franchise’s fourth championship.
