Pittsburgh Penguins - Team
History & Information
In the 2008-09
season, Malkin had won the Art Ross by narrowly defeating
rival Ovechkin in the points race and a candidate for the
Hart Memorial Trophy for MVP. Crosby finished third in
league scoring with 33 goals and 70 assists for 103 points
despite missing 5 games. The Penguins' record dipped mid-season
but lifted after head coach Michel Therrien was replaced
by Dan
Bylsma. The effect was almost instantaneous and the
Penguins recovered enough to secure home ice advantage
in their first round matchup against the Philadelphia
Flyers, who the Penguins defeated in six games. The
next round was highly publicized due to the presence of
Crosby, Ovechkin, and Malkin. The series took all seven
games for the Penguins to win, sending them to the Eastern
Conference Finals where they beat the Carolina
Hurricanes in four games. After defeating the Hurricanes,
the Penguins earned their second consecutive trip to the Stanley
Cup Finals against the Detroit
Red Wings, to whom they had lost the previous year.
After losing Games 1 and 2 in Detroit, the Penguins won
Games 3 and 4 in Pittsburgh. Each team won on home ice
in Games 5 and 6. In Game 7 in Detroit, Max
Talbot scored two goals and the Penguins won 2–1
to earn their third Stanley
Cup.
Pittsburgh Penguins
- Mellon Arena
As of 2010, Mellon Arena is the oldest
and lowest capacity arena in the NHL by official capacity.
In later years, the arena's staff was forced to use space
for multiple purposes never intended in the building's
original design. The
Penguins franchise agreed to a deal with city and state
officials to fund a new home arena for the franchise
in March 2007. The Consol
Energy Center will be located across the street from
the site of Mellon Arena and will have a higher seating
capacity. It
is expected to open for the 2010–11 NHL season.
Meanwhile the future of Mellon
Arena is currently being debated in Pittsburgh. During
the first of seven meetings intended to collect and
evaluate ideas for developing the 28-acre site. The
demolition of Arena was stated as just being "one option",
according to a Sports & Exhibition
Authority (SEA) spokesman. Historic preservationists
want to reuse the building, as a possible park and retail
center. However the Penguins want to demolish it and
find a developer to create a residential and retail district
on the site. Penguins executives have said removing the
arena would free up land near the Downtown business district.
On January 20, 2010, SEA, Mellon Arena's owner, declined
to speculate whether the Penguins could challenge them
in court if it decided to reuse the arena instead of
demolishing it. SEA stated that if the structure was
to be reused, it would be set up in a way that would
benefit the redevelopment of the area.
