John Toperzer: Game Night: Pens host Boston in Game 1 of Eastern Conference final Saturday Eight-day layoff between playoff rounds longer than training camp forebodes interesting start to conference final matchup

My prediction is Pens in 5 or 6 games. This will be a long and patient game..

LET'S GO PENS!

This is the series where Murray earns that paycheck.

Can we please extend him for a couple more years?

Pens in 6 and Hawks in 7 to set up one of the best finals in recent memory.

Pens in 5. Fluery does see action. Cooke has a big game winner, Pens lose one top 6 forward to a short term injury and Jussi steps up big.

Bruins in 7

I think this is the best top 4 we've seen in a very long time.

I'll say Pens in 6 but I wouldn't be surprised if it went to 7.

Let's go Pens. A recuperated Geno-Neal duo dominates while the Bruins try to contain Sid. Pens in 6 while Milbury gnashes his teeth while chewing on memories of Ulfie, Mario, and the Stevens guarantee.

Bruins in 5. They'll light up Vokoun tonight. Then put in MAF on Monday. You heard it first.

I wish he was just a taaaaaaaaaaad bit faster. He almost makes Hal Gill and Chara look fast..

Canadian Pens Fan. One who joined midway through the 2010 NHL playoffs should have a better argument to make than pointing out that the join date of another is midway through the 2013 NHL playoffs.

What kind of prediction is that?

wow...what a dumb ass

I don't think winning the last 6 of 7 means anything other than both teams know how close most of those games have been.

I think you look at the role players to chip in and whoever gets the most secondary contributions is the team likely to come out on top.

Going to be a beauty and I'm pumped for game 1.

Let's Go Pens!

I was thinking the same thing. A great way to endear yourself to the regular posters is attack one right off the bat.

Merry gamed day to all and to all a good night.

Jagr scores a hat trick tonight. bet on it

Anxious!Can't wait to see us flying on the ice right off the bat and scoring a couple quick ones!I'm just happy we have home ice advantage.

Good luck guys it will be a helluva series
I am gonna have to Go with Bruins in 7

Pens in 6, Jagr shreds his groin, again,

This is going to be a crazy series. Pens need to play more physical, yet smarter. Pens definitely have the offensive advantage but Rask is awesome.

@CVBombulie: Ages of WBS D corps tonight: Mormina 30, Dumoulin 21, Samuelsson 21, Harrington 20, Pouliot 19, Maatta 18.
