The hockey in this division is not entertaining. Even Boston - Washington while somewhat exciting has been a drag compared to what is going on in the other divisions.
Combine that with the fact we haven't won a playoff game in three years now. It really sucks.
And I'm not really someone that gets down on the Pens. I feel like if they win tonight they will be able to ride some momentum into the Island hopefully.
@ColePens and I were talking about this earlier.
It's not so much about the game or the series as much as it's about realizing this team doesn't have what it takes to make some noise in the playoffs.
I'm as pessimistic as they come, but even I thought if everything fell right-- injuries, Sully becoming a good bench boss, Jarry-- then this team had a chance to make a little bit of a run in the playoffs.
One game dispelled that for me, and it kind of transcends whether they win a game or the series.
(Now? The bench management is uninspired. The mix is wrong. The only thing softer than their physical play is their mental game.)
