Series notes
All-time: Pens lead 74-62-2 plus 35 ties
Last season: Sabres won series 2-1
Last meeting: 4/23/13 @Pittsburgh, Sabres won 4-2

Doob's analysis,
Sabres might be 0-2 right now but they won the season series against us last year so they can't be overlooked. That being said, I like the way our defense looked against the Devils and the Sabres offense hasn't looked too hot against either the Red Wings or Senators, plus they're playing on the tail end of a back to back, so

Pens win 3-1

Wow, Crosby & Kobasew, Crosbysew?

Once against, Kobasew scores the game winning goal. What a fantastic signing!

If Kobasew keeps up the 82 goal pace, that probably makes Sid or Geno expendable. Lool.
