Prefixed and stickified.

I am rooting for....

Stadium collapse.

I like AV, but I don't like the Rags. Go Pens Go!

Hahha, we all know this will be WSH-PHI...and you have to deal with Tom Wilson the TimeBomb. Just waiting for the moment...waiting...waiting to start a shitshow.

Rangers in 6!

Good luck, Penguin fans!

Now Willy may play on the edge, but he's no Raffi Torres. He's gotten a reputation (well earned from his first season under Oates), but he's been on good behavior this season up until his (suspendable) boarding against the pens.

He's not demented, you're right, but I can't help but just seem and Simmonds do something stupid together.

That's a good trade off for us then.

You're right, I just loathe when a guy on the team is just a penalty waiting to happen...which is why I question the existence of Tom Sestito.

pens out to prove late season run = playoff success, not buying it . Rangers in 6

Some solid point/counter-point here.

Pens in 6 only because the Rangers D is way too injured and hopefully they get into Henrik's head finally.
With that said if Fleury's head isn't right and Zatkoff plays (now that Murray is hurt) the Rangers in 6.

Question is, is their late season push more like Kings '12 or Sens '15? Analytics say the former. So does the eye test - for the first time in years I feel like the Pens are beating teams playing great hockey, not just hoping from heroics from a few stars.

The big test will be mental fortitude and coaching. Bylsma's teams were mentally weak and strategically couldn't adjust. Both look better under Sullivan, but who knows.

GAME 1 TONIGHT!!!!!!

Honestly, as well as the Pens have played of late, I can see them still winning a series in 7 with Zatkoff in net. His performance in Philly wasn't even that awful, Pens just didn't care to play in front of him, hah. If the Rangers win this one, it's Lundqvist absolutely standing on his head.

Skooooooo Pens!!!!!!

 

[ritari330]

Zatkoff gets the start in game 1. Should be an interesting start to the series.
