1st Round Prediction:
I believe this will be a hard fought series with the pens coming out on top in 5 games.

Players to watch:
Ottawa:
Ottawa:
Jason Spezza
Does he finally step out of Heatly and Alfredsson’s shadow and become the elite playmaker that some believe he is ?
Anton Volchenkov
Will he be a force in front of the net making it impossible for the pens skilled players to dangle? Who does he play against Crosby or Malkin. Pick you poison Anton.
Gerber / Emery
Goaltending has been in disarray all season long so I see no hope of any resolution for the playoffs. Emery has fallen of the map and Gerber is nothing more then a glorified # 2.
Christoph Schubert
Does this block head really think he can pull the crap he did last year and get away with
It ? Just in case Mr. Schubert will get reacquainted to Mr. Laraque and the Finish Crash that is Jarkko Ruutu.
Penguins:
Sidney Crosby
Just when you think Sid has peeked he raises his game to a completely different level. Sid can taste the cup and No one will stop him not even a High Ankle Sprain.
Hal Gill
What a monster he has been since the trade deadline . Sound Positional Defense to go along with some nasty body checks are just what the doctor ordered for this team. Expect him to log a lot of ice even strength and short handed.
Marian Hossa
Can he finally silence his critics by having a monster playoff series? I think the effect of the knee sprain are wearing off as well as his increasing chemistry with Crosby will be a deadly combination. Expect Big things from Big Poppa Pump
Jarkko Ruutu
You would hate him if he wasn’t on your team. He is going to be a difference maker this series mark my word. He has added an offensive flair to go along with his mouth and gritty play. Look out Schubert !!!

The Pens will win in six because if the Sens might be able to get into Fleury's face. The Pens must protect Fleury. The penalty killers will have to be strong if they want to advance to the next round of the playoffs. To win the Pens can't commit stupid stick fouls hooking, high sticking, ect. I want to thank my friend Josh Martin for showing me this site. It's awesome! Nice Job Tony and Aaron!!!
