A Season of Highlights: Part Two
Outside of winning the Stanley Cup, what was the best moment for each player that raised the trophy over his head?
Years from now, what will each player look back on from this season and remember?
Winning the Stanley Cup has to be at the top of everyone's list, but what about individual highlights?
Which mattered the most? Which will never be forgotten?
We did part one on Tuesday.
It included Crosby's game winning goal against Detroit, Guerin's overtime winner versus Philadelphia, Petr Sykora's hat trick, Miroslav Satan's fight and more.
Those moments would be enough to fill an entire season for most teams.
In 2003 we would have sold our mothers for just one of those moments.
The 2008-2009 season was special.
It provided a lifetime of highlights within the span of nine months.
Today we finish off the list of individual player highlights.
Again, we're taking our list from the order that players held the Stanley Cup on NHL.com.
If anyone is missing, blame Gary Bettman.
R.I.P.
You'll always remember the guys you played street hockey with growing up.
Even if you lose touch with them, just hearing their name takes you back and puts a smile on your face.
Bryan Loeffler (far right) passed away Sunday night.
He was 23.
For reasons unexplainable, we are just now getting to paying our respects to him.
He was as big a Penguins fan as anyone could claim to be.
Bryan's day with the Cup came too soon.

A Season of Highlights: Part One
No one needs to tell you that this was a season of highlights.
One look at a photo of that beautiful silver Cup over Sid's head will tell you that.
Yes, there were the dark times. We watched the Pens blow leads against the Rangers, be shut out by the Lightning and get trounced by the Maple Leafs.
But from the darkness came light.
Obviously the highlight of the entire season was watching the team pass the richest prize in sports above their heads. We watched Sidney Crosby become the youngest captain to win a Stanley Cup, Evgeni Malkin become the first Russian on the Conn Smythe Trophy and Sergei Gonchar finally raise the holy grail above his head at the age of 35.
But, outside of that huge moment, the season was filled with individual highlights. This is a team game, but each team is a collection of individual players. Each one of them probably has a personal highlight from the season.
Today, we're going to guess what each of those highlights are.
Outside of winning the Stanley Cup, what was the best moment for each player that raised that trophy over his head?
These are our choices.
Now, we're taking our player list from the list posted on NHL.com so, if we missed anyone, blame them, not us.
