Very interesting look at the makeup of the Pens Game 5 lineup.
They have a dramatically different look than every team in the NHL.
Thoughts?

My thought is that the % of NCAA players they have is happenstance. Start with a Generational Player in Crosby, Superstar level player in Malkin, and good goaltending and you have a competitive team regardless of anything else.
I'll give them some credit for team building in that they are clearly deliberately built to use and take advantage of team speed but they don't have a magic formula.
