If we're being honest about this...

Goal: OTT > PIT
D: OTT > PIT
Fs: OTT < PIT
Toughness: OTT = PIT (maybe OTT > PIT?)
Speed: OTT > PIT
PP: OTT < PIT
PK: OTT > PIT
F/O: OTT < PIT
Defensive play: OTT > PIT
Goal production: OTT < PIT
Experience: OTT < PIT

OTT: 5
PIT: 5
Ties: 1

On paper, it looks like this should be a close matchup. Gonna be a 6 or 7 game series either way, I'd say.

Post this on Dobber because apparently I am a moron for saying the same thing.

Except PIT are a dirty team with the Cooker and Letang leading the way.

That's my biggest concern. They're a dirty team and they get away with it. Letang even crosschecked a linesman and nothing.

There will be injuries.

The excuses have already started

What excuses ? How many players of ours have they taken out over the years?

They've taken out Alfie, Michalek and Karlsson to my recollection over the years.

Letang on Spezza -- he missed something like 18 games.

And that makes them dirty? Cowen just took out Pacioretty.

Classic Hoags.

Last time the two met up in the playoffs the Sens were (IMO) outcoached. They won 2 of 3 games on the road but lost all three at home. After the split in the opening two games, they came back home and Clouston put Spezza out against Crosby -- I don't know why he did that, but it cost them the series.

This time around I don't think they will be outcoached. They also won't be out-dueled in goal, and they've been fantastic at home, so I doubt they lose 3 like that again.

They'll need to stay out of the penalty box while maintaining the physical edge. Not a simple task, since the refs appear to be extra sensitive after the Eller incident.

Just got 938.3. Too bad I'm not savvy enough to know how to show the proof here!

Nice. I got close...



You get the high points when it keeps on hitting the mines... again and again and again...

Jeez. Someone filter this guy.
