The C®apitals have scored only 23 goals less than Pittsburgh and rank 12th in the league in goals scored, but have given up 34 more and are 4th last in goals against. Offense is largely a skill that most NHLers come into the league with. Defense needs to be taught, so I'd say that coaching is definitely coming into play when comparing Pittsburgh and the C®apitals. Sure, PIT has more talent...but talent alone doesn't win you games.
Sorry, but I stick to my original post - leading the Pens to the season they've had is a lot more impressive than riding the back of Luongo.
Want more evidence? When Gretzky was 19 the Oilers were a 69 point team. A guy named "Messier" was on that team too.
