Sidney Crosby apparently isn't the only one who thinks the Pittsburgh Penguins can three-peat after back-to-back Stanley Cup championships.
Penguins president and CEO David Morehouse, who has been with the team since 2007, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this week that he sees not one but "a couple more Cups" for the Penguins in the near future.
"I actually think we can win a couple more Cups. We have the best owner in hockey, the best general manager, the best coach, and a bunch of the best players ... The goal would be to try and replicate what we've been able to do. It's the hardest trophy to win, but I'd like to give it a shot and try to win a few more."
No one should fault Morehouse for thinking big.
The Pens, after all, saw a 30-year-old Crosby take a second straight Conn Smythe Trophy to lead a banged-up roster all the way through the 2016-17 postseason, and Pittsburgh isn't exactly short on long-term talent outside of the familiar faces, either. General manager Jim Rutherford, meanwhile, is still on the hunt for third-line center depth after the summer departures of Nick Bonino and Matt Cullen -- depth that would add to an already-potent postseason lineup.
