Pens went to B2B Cups then lost in 2nd, 1st, 1st round. Won the division once and lost in first rd that year.
Hawks have lost in 1st rd twice and missed playoffs once.
but CURRENT pens are defending B2B champs, so they are much more the pats of TODAY than is Chicago.

Patriots are still relevant and competing for championships...hawks have been garbage for 3 years now. Pens would be closest thing to Pats Based on what, exactly? Even though we hate it, the "3 Cups in 7 years" mantra fits better with NE than Pitt does. Pens won in 08 and then did a no-show for 8 years until they won again... The Hawks overall playoff runs have been far more consistent and impressive.

Whatever.. Lost in 08 won in 09, doesn't change the narrative.

And maybe the more important part... Non-Hawks fans are getting really tired of seeing the Hawks featured in everything the NHL does. Lots of jokes were made when the Preds swept them last year; it was a league-wide celebration.

It's the price of success in sports. I would bet more people were happy the Pats lost yesterday than were happy Philly one.
It's been nice to be on the side of a team that gets hated for their success.

More people hate Crosby than any one Hawk. But I think more people hate the Hawks than the Pens.

As a Hawks fan I get annoyed with how NBC trumpets them every goddamn week into some "rivalry" (that isn't)
