from Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,

You’re forgiven if three months of relative quarantine combined with two years of disappointing playoff results — including a first-round sweep at the hands of the New York Islanders — made you forget a historically important fact regarding the Penguins.

They’re still chasing a dynasty.

I believe a dynasty remains possible, anyway, because I believe three Stanley Cups in five years — including a back-to-back set — would qualify. It’s not quite the ‘70s Steelers (although four in six sure would be), but it meets a reasonable criterion.
