Reasoning: Pittsburgh is an Eastern Conference team. To win the Stanley Cup Finals, they must first win the Eastern Conference Finals. Winning the Cup logically necessitates having won the Eastern Conference Finals. The reverse does not hold — winning the Eastern Conference Finals means they appear in the Cup Finals but could lose.
