Round 2: Pens vs. Sens Discussion

P_B has it correct. a case of "premature speculation". odds say YES but Cappy's kids may have other ideas.

and btw, IF the Islanders pull off the upset tonight @ Nassau, In Pens history, Game 6 winner has won Game 7 12 of 13 times (Wash/Pens in 09 only exception) that includes the Islanders vs Penguins series in 1993.

Cooke is going to get rocked and destroyed in game 3 in Ottawa.

Senators need to forget about Cooke. they get distracted with THAT BS, they will LOSE just like in regular season

if Danny Bylsma runs true to form, TV will start (and hopefully WIN) tonight @ Nassau BUT Bylsma will probably start Fleury game one in the 2nd round (and ankle chain him to the net so he can't wander). remember, for all his "struggles" in later games, Flower DID have a shut out game one of this current series.

that being said, IF Fleury shows ANY weakness, Bylsma will pull him faster than a starting pitcher serving up hits.

But good chances they end up losing the next two to the Islanders.

 Penguins won all three in regular season BUT very different Ottawa team these playoffs with Anderson in net and Erik Karlsson back in the lineup. could get Jason Spezza back. my Pennies have to play a LOT better D and show more "energy" than game 6 @ Nassau to beat "The Walrus Herd"

probably correct it will be Penguins +300 probably higher because of "seeding" and regular season 

Pens winning weather tonite or next game was a for gone conclusion

If they want to even smell advancing past the Sens there gonna have to play alot better than they did tonite and in the series no way this 8th seed Icelander team should of been this close .Pens played average at best tonite and still answered every goal Landers put up . Give Ice landers credit ,this young team will benifit from this playoff experiance   But if Pitt thinks they can walk though the motions like they did opening round they have another thing coming

Vok and fleury will be the thorn in the side of Pitt.

TV will be just fine. excellent technical goalie. rarely out of position and tough to beat straight up.

BUT Anderson is NO Nabokov
