Would have been a solid addition to the article to give the odds of playing each matchup. But I think its 70-80% Penguins chances.

This gives the odds for where each team is likely to finish..... http://www.playoffstatus....nhl/easternstandings.html

Well that's who we look to be playing and I think the isles can beat them

Yep agreed. Pens are a great team with a ton of playoff experience but if the islanders play their game the way we know they can they can beat them. Without letang in the line up it becomes even more plausible.

It does without letang but we played the pens early this year when they weren’t that good. They picked it up lately

Not to mention that the Pens WON cup their entire run 2 years ago without Letang....

I didn’t mention anything about previous games played against them? Just said I think we could take them especially with letang out of the line up. I say that with the upmost respect for them as a team I just think if we play a heavy, physical game we could beat them.

The isles style of play is built for the playoffs the question is can they take it up another level

True if we play that way we can. I just hope down the line Boston gets bounced cause there is no way in hell we will beat them

100% agree

I don’t wanna play anybody good in the playoffs blah blah blah some of you are ridiculous 😂 😂

Yeah I know saw your posts on the pens thread😂. Honestly wouldn’t mind playing the pens if letang and malkin stay out of the line up. Letang destroys us the team is not nearly as strong with those two out of the line up.

Edit; Malkin full practice today, letang no contact there goes that idea.

Hopefully he'll get "contacted" with a stick to the face when he comes back.

Good luck finding a weak team in the playoffs.

Ironically, I have the sense that other teams are viewing the Islanders as the team they'd most like to play.

If we could play the Senators for the first two rounds I’d be ok with it.

I just want to be handed the cup. After all the pain and suffering we been through.

Honestly though every team will be a test for us since no one expected us to be in the playoffs. So really no pressure on us at all

That's exactly the concept that ran through my mind when I posted that.
