How did the pens end up getting 1st AND also getting the most preferred opponent?

 

[ColePens]

In 2016 we had to face the demons of the Rangers on our way to cementing greatness. Now we have the Isles. They are a crazy well coached team. It won't be easy. The boys have to do it.

 

[Thrasymachus]

hey guys

looks like we will be acquainted again for a little while...

 

[Gold Diamond]

**** the Isles.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

pens need to avenge that embarrassing loss handed by the islanders

 

[Kristopher Letang]

All kinds of things are gonna break in my living room if we lose in the 1st round again.

I have seen this “lucked out and got the preferred opponent”.

Each time it ended ridiculously poorly.

Any news on the line rushes today? Does Matheson have a good chance of playing round 1? Just checking to see if he was taking rushes with Ceci today and if Tanev was with a normal line?

I believe it was an optional skate. Math was there with a full shield

TBH, seeing today's game. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a sweep. The isles can't generate offense at all unless it's on the counter and against a non-structured defense.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

We'll see if Sullivan has any answers for Trotz this time around.

0 for 2 in the last 2 attempts.

This team can/has/will shit the bed against any opponent at any time. NYI gives us the best chance of advancing, but it is only that. A chance.

Just let us win 1 this time

 

[madinsomniac]

Meh I believe we are way better suited to play a trotz team than the past few years.... if the pk holds up we win....

 

[Andy99]

Let’s hope the Pens have learned how to play this team and make adjustments

 

[madinsomniac]

We'll see if Sullivan has any answers for Trotz this time around.

0 for 2 in the last 2 attempts.

2-0 the two times he played with a faster team

It was an optional skate. Most of the regulars did not skate.

Tanev, Matheson and Malkin skated. Matheson wore a full shield.

The one good thing about this time compared to last is that our team speed is about 10x better.

Speed can break down structure.

Boston and Washington on Saturday. I bet we are Sunday.
