Pittsburgh Penguins tweets: disbelief, joy, champions, and thanks

From "can't believe this is real" to "we're bringing Stanley home!" the Pens capture all the emotions.

The season is over; the off-season is now upon us. Only this time, instead of an early exit, the Pittsburgh Penguins went the distance - and their off-season is going to be incredible, filled with Stanley Cup adventures (as the Stanley Cup itself is likely filled with multiple babies. Good timing, Evgeni Malkin and Nick Bonino).

And while there's still next season to look forward to, today is about celebration. So let's check in with what the Penguins themselves were posting last night and today...

First you've got a handful of rookies who are all pretty much in the same state of mind:

A huge thank you to everyone that made this possible, all the way throughout my career, couldn't have done it without you.
