After a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Red Wings in 2008, the Penguins battled through adversity to claim the Stanley Cup against Detroit in 2009.
As a Red Wings fan, I love these two championships. Amazing to see the Pens pull it together to win the rematch. All players on both teams should be damn proud of their performances in both matchups.
The fact that Pittsburgh is tied for 6th most cups ever with (5) is amazing. Mario changed everything. He will always be my favorite athlete of all time.
The 08-09 Red Wings team was absolutely stacked. Glad the Pens were able to redeem themselves and get their revenge from what happened the year before. Let’s go Pens!
Sidney Crosby became many things that day: The Youngest Captain to win the Stanley Cup A champion A fighter A true leader The Last Captain to ever raise the Stanley Cup in Joe Louis Arena And most importantly, A winner.
Watch some of the documentaries about Mario Lemieux, that will put you over the top. He’s how this all happened. He’s one of the only athletes I truly admire.
Didn’t really break up till Staal left after the Flyers finally got some revenge on us. Idk if I hate that series more, or the Boston series the year after
I think this is my favorite Lord Stanley Championship. I think it was the hardest one to win out of 16 & 17. I watched all 3 tonight. Getting ready for a wicked spring!
@@amsh4054 Amen to that!!! Such a joke! Alot of NHL Anchors still mention that to this day! And it wouldn't surprise me if they did somehow get him in there...He's my all time favorite! But the criticism he gets is often blown way outta proportion.
Those team in the city of Champions Pittsburgh all have one thing in common, The People and Fans of the Pittsburgh, who always Believe it can happen, Lets go get another boys and yes its a great day for hockey and meet me at center ice. God Bless Pittsburgh PA,
Think they should focused more on Sid taking the puck ‘from’ Ovi at the start of the third. The Caps were so talented and they had just scored, there was a lot of hockey left. But man Sid was right there with a dagger and another nail in the coffin.
The dueling hat-tricks game is an all-time classic. Crosby’s third goal was especially nuts. Shoots, save, rebound, save, rebound out of mid-air… scores. This playoff run, in general, could not have been scripted any better. They get their arch rival in the first round, they get the era-rival in the second round, and they end up in the finals against the team that beat them the previous year. Absolute fairy tale!
I remember watching this as a pens fan in college... Detroit was so fkin scary, having won the prior year, with all those legendary players, and the all red, russian-looking uniforms
And I { Sid the Kid } Won't have that happen again!! I am a Duck fan and love Bobby Ryan but Crosby almost was a Duck... Pittsburg has so much historical amazing hockey history.
Lebby1074 I know I’ve heard it in a select few other videos... can’t remember what they were though. I’m guessing it’s a sort of “stock” song that gets used a lot in documentaries and stuff like that... I just like the way it sounds every time I hear it and am hoping just one person can tell me how to find it
@@sharkishablackberry3798 hmm that could be. On the other hand, can we say that the 2016 pens team had more experience from their star players? If we can, I'd say that older, more experienced Sid, Geno and Letang (along with Kessel, Bonino, Hagelin, shoot throw in Hornqvist too) would defeat that 2009 Pens team.
@@letsgopens5400 that’s because Gonchar was out with injury and they lost Ruutu, Laraque, Malone and Roberts all in the 2008 offseason. The Fedotenko and Satan acquisitions were ok, though.
"You don't get to enjoy anything for a while, when you play the Detroit Redwings" LOL except the past few years when they've been arguably the worst in the league probably only rivaled by the "disaster in the desert" that is the Coyotes

Complete respect to the Pens. They definitely deserve Stanley after their loss to the Red Wings the year before. But as a Wings fan, the too many men on the ice no-call was the reason we lost this series. Yes there were some great effort by Crosby and the Pens, but to me, this no-call was the 2009 equivalent of the 2018 missed PI in the NFC championship. It's legit the only call that the refs have to call (besides delay of game), even when they swallow their whistles in the playoffs. I enjoy the whistle swallowing because it brings out the best in both teams, but this is one that heavily favors a team unfairly and has to be called every single time. It's not like a little hooking or cross-checking or even multiple missed icing or offsides calls. It's called "Powerplay" for a reason and allowing a team an extra skater at THIS level is just way too disappointing on the refs part. Complete respect to the Pens. They deserve credit for capitalizing, but this series should have been Detroit.
If the too many men is the sole reason why Detroit lost, then they weren’t good enough anyways. They had more than one chance to close it out with a 3-2 lead if they were that much better it’s over in 6 yet again in Pittsburgh. Ya need better excuses
"Play without fear and I'll meet you at Center Ice."
What a quote.
Watching these make me miss fleury

From a Pens fan good times man both from the 08 and 09 finals… Much love ❤️ man
Still my favorite Stanley Cup final to this day, I'm biased as a Penguins fan but man both teams played so great in that series
Except hossa lmao man how long must that off season been for him
🤘🤘

Jordan Mokricky the pens were pretty f’n stacked as well
Two of the best finals ever.
That Wings Team was overrated, the offense was stacked but the defense had a giant hole in it. Osgood didn’t play well either
Sidney Crosby became many things that day:
The Youngest Captain to win the Stanley Cup
A champion
A fighter
A true leader
The Last Captain to ever raise the Stanley Cup in Joe Louis Arena
And most importantly, A winner.
That day he became a all time great as well
Top 5 all time and Ovi is not close and Crosby has 20 more career points than Ovi no disrespect but Crosby played 200 less games
@@Toews1247Crosby is a better 200ft player but Ovi is the greatest goal scorer of all time.
Hearing Mike Lange calling those goals is a piece of history. His energy is amazing. His love for the team was also amazing.
Heeee beat 'em like a rented mule. ...... and .... Get in the fast lane, Gramdma. The bingo game is about to start! 🙂
I once vowed to hate the pens as a tampa fan. I have now watched all 3 of these films today and am starting to like them more
No hate, all love. Hockey rules!!!!
@@theoldboy70 unless if it’s Toronto 😂

As a pens fan myself, I really appreciate that 😊
Same
I miss this team, just felt like a true brotherhood/family
Didn’t really break up till Staal left after the Flyers finally got some revenge on us.

Just got done watching this whole thing again cuz I’m missing y’all so much right now. What an incredible run.
All this12 years ago and jagr is still playing at 42 Incredible iron man from the 90s cups still skating!!
right but hes 49
I think this is my favorite Lord Stanley Championship. I think it was the hardest one to win out of 16 & 17. I watched all 3 tonight. Getting ready for a wicked spring!
This literally made me cry….and sent chills throughout my body. Brought back childhood memories like no other. LETS GO PENS
Malkins Performance that year was one of the best ever!!! Only two players who had more points in the playoffs were Mario and Wayne...
Actually Coffey had 37 point back in the 80’s but still it was a mazing performance
@@mparent609 I knew I forgot someone. But yeah. Still the best since no doubt
Sid and Guentzel were on pace for over 40 2018
I still can't get over the fact that they didn't elect him as one of the game's top 100 players.

Ahhh Biznasty lookin like a straight G at 4:55
Hahaha I just notices that
Why do see him everywhere lmao
how? he has a t-shirt on and he's just standing there....
Still missing" Flower
And REALLY MISSIN' HOCKEY!!!!!
Biz just straight tagging along
“Hold on lemme take my dentures out” Bill got me dead 😂
I’m getting chills all over my body watching flower make that save to win it!!! It’s 15yrs later and still feel the same forever!!!
This was golden era of hockey for me man
I’m here because this is my only source of happiness rn watching this penguins team in 2021 is honestly sad to watch
I miss this group of guys
I can't believe anyone thought Hossa would get signed. I knew the day we got him that he wouldn't be back the next year, even if we had won the cup.
Man I miss the Joe and the Igloo, I don't mean to sound like an oldhead but these new rinks really aren't the same
i had this film as a dvd when i was kid. i remember watching this so much as a kid. i still remember the theme on the menu.

Nice band wagon!

@@yourboyjake1219 no I am not
@@cariopuppetmaster it was a figure of speech 🤣 he was saying it as a figure of speech. He isn’t a bandwagon
It was never Crosby v. Ovie . It has always been Geno v. Ovie . That was always the real competition .
No
AMAZING TEAM
😯 sick fact 😯:
The Penguins celebrated every of their 5 (!) Stanley Cups on the opponents ice.
Hope Crosby can win it one more time. At home.
Red wings raised the cup more times on Pittsburgh ice😔
And Pittsburgh hasn't won a championship at home since the pirates first world series
1:03:35 Bylsma: "I don't show a lot of emotion on the bench, but I'm sure that time I gave a little smile"
The replay shows he didn't.
Gonna go watch the 08 Stanley cup documentary to cleanse my soul
That's my team🖤
Let's go Pens!
The Chris Kunitz trade I'd say paid off...
6:38 Two time back to back Stanley Cup CHAMPION!!!!!! 81!!!!
Fun fact Ever forward on Pittsburgh but crag adams had a 20+ goal season at some point in their career
I miss flower 🌸 though he was the best
Anyone else see the guy in the capitals crowd wearing a Sabres jersey at 20:38 ? 🤣
what the name of the song that start right at the beginning of the vid
what is the sound call 1:33 when Penguins lost the cup to the Red Wings
I remember watching this as a pens fan in college... Detroit was so fkin scary, having won the prior year, with all those legendary players, and the all red, russian-looking uniforms
Yes they where a good team
1:08:04 all i can think is "The lasagna worked!!!"
People hate Crosby so hard mcdavids first 5 years vs Crosby's first 5 years Crosby>>>Mcdavid
Who had the opening line?
That Quote still gives me chills.
"Play without fear and I'll see you at Center Ice."
Beating the cryers and crapitals and winning the Stanley Cup that’s the perfect playoff run right there go pens
As a Ranger fan, I hate the Flyers more than anything in the world, then the Capitals and then the Hurricanes.
A sport, a wonderful show.
Too bad that in Europe it is difficult to find the PS4 game on the NHL 2017 2018 2019 etc....
Osgood is so underrated
No he isn’t 😂
@@jacksubasic8260 3 Stanley Cups, over 400 wins. Should be in the Hall Of Fame.
@@oldredbarnman no
How many times is CZcams going to replay this over and over again on my TV. Good grief. Watched it once & that was enough thanks.
And I { Sid the Kid } Won't have that happen again!! I am a Duck fan and love Bobby Ryan but Crosby almost was a Duck... Pittsburg has so much historical amazing hockey history.
And we’re coming back
24:52 just wait until 2016 buddy
It hurt when Hossa left for the Wings, saying they had a better chance at the cup....
Oh, how the turn tables...
I hate Hossa, that’s karma for him
@@jacksubasic8260 yea same but then he won 3 cups
Tom Barasso was such an amazing goalie.....
cool
Cool
32:50 I like number 11's (Dan Cleary) reaction. Doesn't even realize he just won The Cup.
i’m a jets fan but i almost shed a year at the end, wow
Hey Pens, or anyone else who might know... what’s the song that starts around 1:34? Thanks in advance and Go Pens!
I think it’s one of those custom songs that doesn’t exist anywhere else

@@sharkishablackberry3798 2016 Pens without a doubt. That team was an offensive powerhouse that couldn't be stopped.

the Toronto one or the canadiens one with bylsma?
take a look!!
Brooks take the Boston hat off
It was never Sid v. Ovie . It has always been Geno v. Ovie . That's the story .
In triple OT against the Patos
If the Pens hadn’t coughed up that 2-0 lead in Toronto, this would’ve been Michel Therrien’s Cup.
No therrien was a horrible coach
Letsgo Pens he was the one who built that team. Bylsma just extended it and that too, only for one year.
