Steelers safety channels Herb Brooks for latest Penguins hype video

Ross Ventrone of the Pittsburgh Steelers has been creating hype videos for the Penguins on their quest for the Stanley Cup. His three previous ones have resulted in wins, which means there’s probably some sort of good luck connection here.

With the Penguins looking to lift their fourth Cup Thursday night at Consol Energy Center, Ventrone went full-on inspirational for his latest video.

Again dressed in a Phil Kessel jersey, Steelers helmet and full street hockey goalie gear, Ventrone channeled his inner Herb Brooks.

Judging by the stoic reaction of his Steelers teammates, they probably want to run through a wall after hearing the “Miracle” speech. If Penguins coach Mike Sullivan needs a creative way to pump up his players ahead of Game 5 against the San Jose Sharks, it’s probably best to just play this on a loop pre-game.
