Although the Pittsburgh Penguins had an early exit in this years Stanley Cup Playoffs, there is no reason for the team, or the fans to be upset.

Sullivan and company marched their way through nine straight series wins and two Stanley Cup Championships in the salary cap era. In order for the Pittsburgh Penguins to achieve the ultimate goal in the upcoming season, they need to make some changes.
