Likewise if Ottawa was healthy. All of Pitts big guns were healthy.
Uhh what? Letang is one of the biggest guns we have, and he was watching from the pressbox.

Ottawa's 1-3-1 would have driven Nashville's up tempo, speed through the neutral zone attack to frustration IMO. Ottawa is too disciplined to not follow the blueprint that has gotten them this far. I don't think Nashville would have adapted. Ottawa would have won the cup in 6 or less games IMO. Now given Johansen and Fisher are out. I am even more confident of this.
I mean.. the Penguins had no problems at all entering the zone for the last 3 games of the series. Anderson just went super saiyan for games 6 and 7
Nashville doesn't have that type of speed and skill. Not even close.

Pens don't have any D-men that can carry the puck like Nashville's can either.
If anything, Ottawa got Lucky, not the other way around...

Preds can chip and chase with the best of them. They won the Chicago series with speed, speed and more speed. They won the STL series with great defense and they won the Ducks series grinding it out with extreme physicality. Nashville has amazed even me with their ability to adapt to any style that can beat a given opponent. Lavy has really upped his game in the adjustment department.
Off topic...but you think Nashville will play chip and chase with speed speed speed against the Pens?
As you know...that's how the Pens like to play.
