We aren't. We have a Hart trophy candidate established superstar, and a solid albeit shallow supporting cast in Voracek, Konecny, and Patrick on offense. We also have our first true #1 D pair in a long while. We SHOULD be in the playoffs. I don't understand having a defeatist attitude at this point. Many teams have similar issues. It's the cap era. We have the star power to pull some upsets. Lets go.We're playing with house money this year, don't care who we play, it'll be fun to see the kids get to play in big games.
It wont be exciting. Its not 2012 or even 2014 anymore. Hakstol doesnt let them play the type of game they need to beat the pens or make it the exciting hockey we used to have in the match up.
Pretty much this. That's not to say I think we'll be the favorite or anything like that or that we'll challenge for a Cup, but I also don't get the "I'm just happy to be here" mindset.We aren't.

no worries because we'll just take our guy with the Blues pick after they lose tonight !Sorry if someone already mention this, but finishing 3rd sucks even more once the draft roles around and one of our rivals takes “our guy” right in front of us
Yea true. I was a little worried with both cbus and jersey playing. But yea no Atlantic division sounds good to me. Hopefully the caps hold on and the jackets win and the avs lose. Can’t even imagine that kind of luckNJ is losing, which is great. Do not want the last seed. It'll be Pitts or Wsh.
AVS lose???Yea true. I was a little worried with both cbus and jersey playing. But yea no Atlantic division sounds good to me. Hopefully the caps hold on and the jackets win and the avs lose. Can’t even imagine that kind of luck
The ne thing that playing the Pens does do, is it will show Hextall how far away we still are from getting to Championship level.Would like the Caps, but Devils and Jackets are both doing everything to avoid the Pens, so we will almost surely be the Pens
columbus sitting jones and werenski hoping to avoid pit, embarrassing hope they get swept
No questionI’d bet a kidney that OV tries to play the last 2min to go for 50 in the EN
Sad part is if we get the Pens, Read is gonna take TK s spot and Haktard will,chase the Read Flip Simmer line as a shutdown trio, TK won't play 10 mins a night. Bank on it
