Pens need to learn how to exit their own zone. Guys like Malkin just backhand it or throw it out. That got them by(barely) against a young team. They play like that against the Sens who have much better team defense and goaltending and they might not move on any further.
I thought they would tighten up after last year but they really haven't. Some of it was Fluery, but not all of it. Sens are an interesting bet to me if the odds are juicy enough. Same with Kings beating the Hawks. |

Penguins don't look like a great team. They got great players though.

There is no question Fleury let in soft goals. But even tonight, you can see that the Pens are not tight enough in their own end. It leads to offense, and in the playoffs, you can't hand the other team the amount of transition offense that the Pens do. You really can't even give up half of what they do in that area. Imagine if the Islanders had a good defense or good defensive forwards, or a really good goaltender. Thats basically every team thats left except Toronto. Nobody can doubt that the Pens are stacked as hell. But the amazing, and frustrating, thing about the NHL playoffs is that is never what wins. The team is way too lose in their own end. I would say that they will fix it, but I thought they would after last seasons playoff disaster and it didn't happen. Orpik mentioned it right away in the interview after the game. As a defensive-defenseman, I'm not surprised he is frustrated with it. Orpik actually said it very well. I know the Pens see the issue, but I haven't seen them show an effort to change it.

I'd stick with vokoun. Fleury has no confidence.

Kind of a cool video of Islanders' fans after the loss yesterday. It's cool to see fans who had a great time watching their team even though the end of it all wasn't the Cup.

That said, he hit the nest guy pretty square in the neck with his stick, so the penalty was legit. |
