The bye week seems like a good time to see how confident this board is in making the playoffs.
Three peat. On the back of a third straight Smythe for Crosby.
I think we all know the situation we are in. Pens dug themselves a big hole. It's more likely than not that we are missing the playoffs. But if there is any team in the NHL to turn this around and turn it into gold - it's the Pittsburgh Penguins.
We've gone over the "why" multiple times. That's where we are. Most likely we are not going to be able to make up ground, but you guys already know me. I'm always optimistic. As Badger Bob would say - that's the only way to live life.
You are the one who voted no so far?I wish I shared your optimism.

Well you know I'M optimistic, but we do not have games in hand and they should take us over, ceteris paribus, when these games are played.Really? We’re in now and haven’t played that well. I can’t really see us missing the playoffs.
There is a quiet confidence after watching Sid and Geno starting to play with more urgency over the last couple games. We have the #1 PP and our 2nd half schedule is more favorable. Not a lot of room for error and a longer term injury that would put Sheahan at 2c would be very rough, but I think we will see them play better in the 2nd half. We will still need to get help to go deep in the playoffs though.Yep, I’m pretty surprised by the results so far.

I mean, Islanders are likely done with the injuries. They are either are going to make a huge push to bring people in or possibly move Tavares.
Flyers are still a young team.
Canes too.
We make our own path and our record is great against the Metro.
Plus, Sullivan is doing a good job scratching the right players and putting together the right lines.
We should make it. Funny for me to be saying this.
Did we just switch bodies?
I often use your posts as a gauge to how right I am.If they play the way they’re capable of then they will. It’s a question of if they will be that team and I don’t think they will, but I’m wrong a lot so who knows.
