A look back at the 1992-1993 Pittsburgh Penguins season.
The Penguins set a new NHL record for consecutive victories of 17 that still stands today. The Penguins set a team record for wins (56) and points (119) in a single season. Also, the team won the Presidents' Trophy as the league's top team for the first time in club history. Mario Lemieux missed 1/3 of the season, but won the scoring title by 12 points over Pat Lafontaine despite trailing by 18 when returning from undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's disease.
The Pens lost in the final Patrick division finals to be played in seven games to the New York Islanders. The series was arguably the biggest upset in modern NHL history. Mario missed the first two games of the series, but the Pens took a 3-2 series lead into New York for game 6, but lost 7-5. Game 7 saw the Pens trailing 3-1 with under 4 minutes left in the 3rd period. The Pens tied the game in the last minutes from 2 goals from the stick of Ronnie Francis. The Pens out shot the Isles 42-17 as Glenn Healy had the game of his life in game 7. The Islanders would prevail in OT and win the series on David Volek's one-time slapper that beat Barrasso.

It just seemed something weird was in the air when Isles played the Pens. I guess the Isles weren't scared or intimidated by them. And once Kevin Stevens got hurt, it left you to wonder. And if they had one this game, how rested do you think they would have been having to play the Habs who were on a roll at the time?
What a waste of an incredible season and lineup. A team with Lemieux, Jagr, Francis, Mullen, Murphy, Stevens, Barrasso... and they lost.
I was 10 at the time and couldn't see the TV broadcast of the game that night but I listened on the radio... after Volek scored in OT I bawled my damn eyes out.
