The defensive numbers don't lie. I suggest everyone go to natural stat trick and take a gander.

Isles' first pair is better defensively than the Pens' first pair, but the Pens 2nd and 3rd pairings are better than the Isles' 2nd/3rd pairings.

This will all come down to Varlamov. He's your only saving grace.

I'm hoping for quintuple over time in the Caps Bruins game. Let's hope both these team grind each other down.

Once again playing the underdog role. Trotz feeds off that and uses it as a motivation with the team. No pressure on the isles when they’re already written off and nobody’s expects them to win. All the pressure on the Pens. I love when this team is in this position.

Caps win but not sure how far they can go with Anderson in net.

I guess we shouldn’t even bother playing the games. Can we forfeit?

Haha that’s what I was thinking. Like I said earlier, we are in the perfect spot as underdog.

I have the Penguins penciled in for a sweep of the lowly Isles, each game going 10-0 or better. Anything less will be a huge embarrassment for the Penguins and their fans.
