A hockey team also known as generation x since they are going to be so dominant in a few years but now since the team is made up mostly rookies it really isnt fair.

a nhl hockey team that always takes up the first couple picks in the draft by sucking terribly during the season. have great potential in sidney crosby, evgeni malkin, and jordan staal and could possibly one of the best hockey teams in a few years or so.

My hometown team, which I love. The Penguins have a lot in common with the Chicago Bulls (unitl recently): both have a 1 man history (Jordan's Bulls/Mario's Pens). The Pens were up and down and had several different owners through 1980. Then, in '83, the sucky Penguins were rewarded with the ultimate prize: the greatest player to ever play, Mario Lemieux. Mario was incredible, but needed help for the team to win. In '90, they aquied players like Barrasso, Jagr, Francis, and Samuellson and ended up winning back to back Stanley Cups. But in the '90s, Mario had cancer and back issues, but Jagr, Francis, and Kasperitis stepped it up and the Penguins made the playoffs every year from '90 to '01. But bankruptcy is now the downfall of the Pens (Mario own them now), who have a crappy arena and can't afford anyone but crappy players. Please keep the Pens in Pittsburgh!

bunch of faggots with a fanbase full of retards who, for some reason, think anyone donning a pittsburgh uniform is the hottest shit to ever play the sport
sidney crosby's pregame good luck charm is to be the target of the pittsburgh penguins' daily bukkake and circle jerk sessions

Former NHL powerhouse that has fallen on hard times recently. Their bankruptcy has forced them to trade such great players as Alexei Kovalev, Jaromir Jagr, Robert Lang, and Martin Straka. With Mario Lemieux's constant injury problems, the Pengiuns are often an easy two points for opponents.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are so sad; they went from Eastern Conference Finalists to losing 18 straight games in just three years.

An NHL franchise whose had its ups and downs. They go from good to bad, and then to good again. I think the reason for that is because from 2001-02 to 2005-06 the team had mainly rookies, and the only experience came from Mario Lemieux. Now they're good again, but to be honest, some of the fans are only fans because they're good, or in other words, bandwagonners. Admittedly i'm a Pens fan, but i'm not a bandwagonner. i became a fan when i was 5 years old, back in 2002-03. Now the Pens have guys like Sydney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Pascal Dupuis, just to name a few players. They're now playoff regulars because of the new star power.
Person 1: "Did you see the Pittsburgh Penguins game last night?"
Person 2: "Yeah i did. Sydney Crosby scored 2 goals and Marc-Andre Fleury recorded a shutout. It was great."
