With a good chunk of the season past and the fact that the Pens are running away with a less than mediocre Metro Division, what have you seen/not seen thus far to make you believe this team can win a tight 7 game playoff series against a top team?
Myself, I see the same team as the last 3 years or so. A lot of skill that bails them out most of the time, but an overall lack of commitment to do the things that win playoff series. I'm not sold this team is any more disciplined in its overall game, the absurd turnovers are still there from the same people, I'm still not convinced the Flower won't pucker again under bigtime pressure, and I just don't see a willingness to do what is needed to win a close series.
Am I nuts?
