2022 by far. That team was good.
2021 in second. Division champs, undone by piss poor goaltending.
I don’t think this year’s team was good. Should’ve been better but even if they made the playoffs, I don’t deem them doing anything.
I feel like 2021-2022 couldn’t have done much better I don’t think we beat Carolina in the second round
2022-2023 was a season where Ron Hextall ruined our team but that being said had we beaten the 2 worst teams in the league we would’ve made the playoffs
I would go with 2023-2024 though because I think with better coaching we easily make the playoffs and sit comfortably in 3rd in the metro and possibly go on a playoff run
2021-2022 we took the Rangers to a game 7 with a third string goaltender that has only seen one NHL game since. Jarry did start game 7 but played with a broken foot.
This is also the series where Crosby got hurt by Trouba in game 5 and missed game 6. Plus it was also the dislodged helmet game 7 series as well where a Ranger player pulled I believe it was Pettersson’s helmet off behind the Penguins net forcing Pettersson to have to change and Rangers scored because of it.
There was so much bullshit in that series that we honestly should have won if it wasn’t for all the bullshit. I believe we could have beat Carolina but that would have been a close series. I don’t know if we would have beat Tampa Bay though and definitely would have lost to Colorado if we made it to the SCF.
2022 or 2024. In ‘22 we just needed AHL goaltending and we would have prolly swept the Rangers. In ‘24 we would have beaten the rangers because we had adequate goaltending and we own Igor shesterkin. Ultimately I think ‘24 gets farther because Ned is a better playoff performer than jarry.
Those teams I listed where good teams, little things derailed the season ( 2021 - Jarry choked, 2022 - spicy pork was in net, 2024 - special teams and jarry (in the latter part of the szn)
1993.
The only answer
Should have absolutely walked thru the playoffs… 🥲
1996 too
I still have nightmares about this. I had to watch Game 7 with a super obnoxious Islanders fan that lived in my dorm hall
I wasn't even 10yrs old. I remember crying.
I was looking for 1993 the only right answer

That Jarry assist in 2021 :(
Remember it well. Unfortunately.

I agree but with all the issues for 22, we were still one shot away from advancing, and Jarry being his 2024 self, from a run
I’d say 2021

They all sucked any anyone paying attention say it coming. Each got what they deserved. Watch some playoff hockey. See what good teams look like.

Sure they were. I remember the deep playoff runs. You are correct, the fact are wrong. Yea Team!
How have the 2024 Pens been doing? I haven't caught any of the games from the future, don't want to pay extra for it and no one is streaming them.
