For the second year in a row, the hockey season ended the same way, with Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins winning the Stanley Cup.

Obviously last year's Cup run was special for some reasons, but just because the Pens won it all a year ago doesn't mean this win was any less meaningful.

 

 

Back to Back: The #Penguins score late to capture their second straight #StanleyCup

For the first time since the Red Wings did it in 1997 and 1998, the Penguins went back-to-back, and some of the older players they traded for this season won their first Stanley Cup.

Safe to say this Cup win was just as special for different reasons, and the team celebrated on the ice accordingly.

Once the Penguins were done celebrating with the Cup on the ice, though, they took the celebration to their locker room and this video from FOX Nashville's reporter Matt Alvarez chronicled Crosby's journey back to the locker room with the Cup.

We bet you've never seen that view of the Cup entering the lock room.

We're not sure what the best part about the epic entrance was, though, the champagne shower or Crosby politely asking reporters to move so he could celebrate with his teammates.

 

 

The #Penguins had a few key contributors throughout their 2017 #StanleyCup run 🗝

Either way, the Cup is back in the Steel City and with Crosby, Malkin, Murray and a slew of other key contributors returning next season, a three-peat isn't out of the question.
