^^^should read complete opposite of the isles obviously

I could be wrong, but I think crash means that now that they have a goalie in net that seems a bit more reliable, the penguins may be tough to beat.

I could see the sens penguins series going 6-7 games with a lot of low scoring games. Pens need tiger their s hit together

Pens need tiger their s hit together&#xD;&#xA;IF you ment "Pens need to get their sh!t together". you are absolutely correct. ex for games 1 and 5, their performance against the Islanders was stunningly average. IF the Islanders had a decent stopper in goal, my Pens would probably be OUT again this year playoffs.

Speed kills and while the Sens aren&#x27;t a bunch of Douglas Murrays, they aren&#x27;t as fast as the Islanders. Advantage Penguins.However, Anderson is a major upgrade over Nabombkov

I feel the Pens average at best play this series, made the Isles look alot better than they are .It seemed that Pitt never took them seriously .Last nite they played the 1st 2 periods like a regular season game with no urgency.. The isles never should of been in such a close series.against arguably the most talented team at the end of regular season. There goaltending is obviously a big concern with Feury being a head case ,and there morning shootaround goalie Vok having to come in and save the day.His numbers are great against 1 team the young Isles period.Other than that he doesnt even smell the ice at gametime usually.They seem to know they could match the Isles talent whenever they needed to case in point,last nite they showed some fire after every goal Isle scored last nite ,then seem to back off ,till overtime when they decided to play Pen hockey and end this. If that minset continues its all over for Pitt .

Sens came to life ,and have built up some confidence ,winning the 1st round.There gelling at the right time , Pitt will need Crosby and company to play like they did to close out the season.This is not the overachiving Icelanders .Sens have a shot of taking this series .Intrested in Knowing who starts in goal Good luck all

Only reason Pens beat isles is because the isles goaltending was worse then the Pens so way some how, but thats normal for Nabokov and the playoffs, just as the sharks!!!!

I think the new goalie has played well. Fleury was a total sieve. If they get good goaltending, this team to me could go all the way.

Crashdavis565 · Answer

They are favored to win the East and go to the finals, I think I will parlay them round by round though

LeRinkRat · Answer

I don&#x27;t know WHY people are "throwing rocks" at "TV Geezer". he was outstanding down the regular season stretch run when Fluery was out. &#xD;&#xA;Vokoun is an excellent "technical goalie" who doesn&#x27;t try to make wierd plays with the puck. he&#x27;s excellent on his angles, concentrates on making the "first save" and either controls the puck or lets the D clean up any rebounds. THAT is WHY the Pens D seems to play better in front of him than Fleury.&#xD;&#xA;BUT neither Fleury OR Vokoun is Craig Anderson. I would say definate "Advantage Ottawa" in goal next series.

Lippsman · Answer

With him and as long as there is no meltdown the Pens can punch their ticket to the finals.
