At the onset of the season was the belief that the Penguins were an exhausted volcano. With that came the realization that Sidney Crosby would never win another championship. Except that was more fantasy than reality. Pittsburgh has been one of the NHL’s best teams for the past two months. Most important of all, the Penguins are profiting with the NHL betting odds. Boston’s lack of goal scoring had them marked down by NHL observers. But a trade for Taylor Hall has rejuvenated the entire team. Hall brings much-needed goal-scoring depth for a Bruins team that needed it.
