vs.
The Pens will have home ice. These teams split the regular season series winning two games each at home. Should be an interesting series but in the end, Pittsburgh should have too much for Tampa. Pens in six games.

I'm anticipating a hard fought series with Tampa Bay....with or without Crosby. Speaking of which....
What's the latest on Sid?

^^^^Crosby's status is the same, no time table for his return.

Tampa has cooled since the start of the year, but from what I saw last night, they are still pretty good. It goes 7 in my view, with Tampa pulling it out.

The Pens have two things going for them which are crucial in the Stanley Cup playoffs, their defense has been incredible this year, one of the best in the league and their penalty killing is tops in the league, and then there's Marc Andre Fleury who has been on fire since his shaky start to the season. A stingy defense and top notch goaltending can carry you a long long way, and of course, if Crosby returns it gives the Pens yet another added dimension.

Game one will be either Wednesday or Thursday at the Consol Energy Center, I'll post the schedule when it comes out. I imagine they will have a white out as they normally do for home playoff games and yes, Mario's TV will be set up outside the arena (I believe at the Igloo parking lot) for people to watch outside.

In a very tight conference, they tied on points in their divison only to lose the tie breaker and the idiotic rules that no matter how many points you have the divison winners automatically get the top three spots (they finished three points ahead of Boston). Get a clue dumb fuck!

I've given my reasons why Pittsburgh should win this series and possibly go a long way. Instead of acting like the asshole that you are, please enlighten us with your vast hockey knowledge on WHY the Penguins will lose this series. Fucking troll!

He is too delusional to realize that. Keep it up, he will most likely block you, because the crybaby can't handle the fact people don't bow down to pittsburgh.

No, you're the idiot. Just say that with out Crosby they won't win. Your post sai that I always pick Pittsburgh even without Crosby, you dumb fucking moron!
You say it's funny that I'm a homer but do you know what's really funny........the fact that you're a loser.

I see this series going 7 games with either team having a chance to win it. For the Pens, the D needs to play lights out along with MAF.
Stamkos has been very cold as of late. Their defense and Roloson can be shaky at times.
If the Pens want to go past the first round Staal has to be the guy they can lean on at the forward position.

No you did not, you said "they ain't shit", which CLEARLY proves you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, their record and the numbers say otherwise. You just prove my point over and over that the only reason you posted on this thread was to start trouble and troll, like you always do.
