Over the next 72 hours, the Penguins will have a chance to reflect on the arrival of the coveted trophy.  And maybe they'll also consider the many steps that led them to this point, including Monday's 3-1 win here over the Sharks in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals.

It was a win that gave them a 3-1 series lead and an opportunity to secure a championship Thursday night (8 ET) in Game 5.
