Schedule has yet to be finalized, but the matchup is set. Can Columbus win a playoff game for the first time in franchise history?

Would love to be more optimistic, but this feels like a five game series. The good news is that this roster looks less like a chance visit to the playoffs and more like a team on its way to contention in a couple of years.

Pens should be healthy for the start of game 1. Lines will most likely look like this:

Kunitz-Crosby-Bennett
Jokinen-Malkin-Neal
Goc-Sutter-Stempniak
Glass-Vitale-Adams

Orpik-Martin
Scuderi-Letang
Maatta-Niskanen

Fleury

It's the playoffs. Time for Playoff Fleury to show up. CBJ will make it interesting.

CBJ in 6.

I like the matchup but I'll say Pens in 7 with the CBJ defending NWA

I expect another sweep. Pitching sucks and bats have gone silent.

Is this not on TV in the Cleveland area? I've got Cavs on FSO and some show about the Blackhawks on NBCSN.

Both the channels are showing it for me. Is CNBC still the TB/M series?
