Now that the Penguins have made the playoffs, how far do you think they will go?

VERIFIED

I say will win round 1 against the Islanders in 6/7 games. The Pens inconsistencies all season are reason enough. Will Letang be healthy? Can they get scoring outside of Crosby? Can Kessell find the net again? Will Guentzel return to playoff form as he was two years ago? Can Murray steal a game or two?

The Islanders have made all the right moves this year. They brought in Lou and last years Cup winning coach Trotz. No superstars on this Isles team after losing Tavares. Who would have thought Robin Lehner and Griess would have the seasons they’d have in net.
I expect a very tightly contested series with the Penguins veterans getting the upper hand on the youth of the Islanders.
