Pittsburgh overachieved. I actually considered voting for "met expectations" because I think so highly of Crosby and also Malkin - but in the end, 3 cups has to be overachieved. Making the playoffs every single season of their prime (until last 2 years) is also very special. It's the most successful team of the cap era - so, overachieved.
Washington - underachieved. It's lesss about the 1 cup, that would fall under "met expectations". It's more about the never getting past round 2 outside of the cup year. It's close either way since a cup is nice, but I would have liked to see a little more playoff success from that core
Boston - met expectations. I initially voted underachieved, but changed to "met expectations". I have no problem with the 1 cup (like caps), and unlike Caps they've had a lot of really deep runs (2 more finals, etc). So - overall I'd say met expectations. Reason why i considered underachieved is because they also have some really, really bad playoff losses (last year to FL, or 3-0 to Philly, etc).
