I guess we can credit that, both to great coaching AND the loss of our "star" player, leaving a team without any stars.

Toronto kind of scares me, but so do the Bruins and Blue Jackets.

Boston always seems to physically dominate us. I want no part of them. For all of their talent, we match up very well with Toronto in a similar way to how we do with Pittsburgh. CBJ definitely worries me.

Before the series started the penguins blogger said in the NHL playoffs the best team doesn’t always win. Maybe he was wrong in this series and the better TEAM did prevail .

They belong in the old barn. It is a HUGE advantage for them when the fans literally have the stands shaking.

Toronto is far more motivated than the Pens. Crosby & Co. have multiple Cups. The Leafs are hungry like the Isles. They dominated the Isles in that last regular season game in Uniondale.

I still can't believe they held Crosby to one assist in 4 games.

Listen, every team wants to win whether their trophy case is full or not. I’m sure the Pens fans loved the fact that they drew The Islanders because of this or that and look how that turned out
Every team, every game, every round is tough. There is no easy anywhere/anyone in the POs.

That last game was a let down game. The Isles had flattened TO in the previous two games which were the emotional games. So when the emotions ran high, the Isles ran over them. By their third game, the Isles were flat. I'm comfortable with playing then in a high stakes situation. We have nothing to lose. Their in PressureTown Canada.

Numbnutz, try following the thread and quit butting in. Keaner suggested that the Isles matched up well against the Leafs, and I was simply explaining why they scare me, too.

Agreed, but Toronto was arguably flat in the first two games which meant a lot to the Isles, but not much to the Leafs. The 3rd game was the one where Toronto had lots of motivation, because they clinched the playoffs with that victory.

I don’t read the hope we play this team and not team blah blah blah sorry.

Makes no sense, just my opinion, sorry if you don’t like it.

OK, give your brain a rest. It's been a long day in the men's room stall.

Yup, that about sums it up, unfortunately.

Never mind Toronto or Boston or Columbus. Need to focus on winner of Caps/Canes.
