The Pittsburgh Penguins have somehow found a way to crawl themselves back into the Eastern Conference playoff race and there are two primary reasons for that.
Well, three if you count the rest of the teams in that playoff race being just as mediocre, if not more mediocre, than the Penguins have been.
The first is obviously Sidney Crosby.
The captain is putting the team on his back and carrying it with a herculean effort that would probably give him serious MVP consideration if this team somehow stumbles into a playoff spot. Hell, he might actually win the thing.
