Anyways back to the topic, Trapping was mentioned earlier as a way to defeat the Pens if you get up on them in a game. I'm wondering if Crosby will help fix this in the playoffs, of if its a by product of their system they're runnning in Pittsburgh.

With a three-point lead with four games to play (five for TB), I think the #4 spot is reasonably secure. If Tampa was super-hot, I'd be worried, but even after last night, they're only 4-3-3 in their last 10 (11 points), compared to Pittsburgh's 6-4-0 (12 points). Especially considering Pittsburgh's final four opponents are against four the five worst teams in their conference. To put it simply, if they fall to fifth with their remaining schedule, they're in BIG trouble coming into the playoffs because either (a) they're horribly slumping or (b) Tampa just got super-hot.Raw Dawgin' it;730538 wrote:Tampa isn't exactly a defensive juggernaut.

Anyways...should be interesting how the penguins close out the year. With their lack of goal scoring it might be hard to hold on to 4th let alone catch philly.

I don't look at catching Philly as being realistic. If they'd won that recent game with them, yes. But now...they're 4 points behind with 4 games to go, with Philly having one more game to play. They'd have to run their schedule and the Flyers would have to completely collapse.

Totally agree, with the way they create chances at full strength one would think that the PP would be smoking but that's simply not the case. The other thing that kills them with the PP being so poor is not only scoring goals but teams will totally disrespect their PP to the point where they think they can take liberties at will and not have to worry about giving up a stupid penalty because Pittsburgh can't cash in, especially in the playoffs.GoPens;730643 wrote:What's been hurting the Pens the last couple of months is the horrendous power play. The Pens will not go deep into the playoffs unless it's totally retooled and THEY START GETTING THE PUCK TO THE NET MORE.
