We are a looooong way from being Pittsburgh. We only have them beat in goaltending.

the Penguins were wiped by Ottawa, the team who went to the Finals that year, then went to the finals themselves. Nothing is impossible.

too many rookies/AHLers who played over 82 games, too many guys playing nowhere near 100%, not making excuses it's just reality. Big difference against the Pens who had a full healthy roster for the most part.

I though this series would go longer but knew they probably wouldn't win. Although I think they are overrating the Pens depth when mentioning plugs like Jokinen and Iginla and Morrow who were nonfactors most of the series, and Doug Murray who is a pylon but a mean guy at least.

Next year will be a great year for Ottawa if they can come back with basically the same lineup plus a goal scorer. If Philly buys Briere out that would be a solid move for some depth but they need that top line winger... Eriksson is the guy they have to go after but Noesen would be the guy going the other way for sure.

They better not trade Noesen.

Noesen isn't some bluechip prospect that you can't trade...and he wouldn't get you an Eriksson obviously.

I like most of those guys. Ryan will go to Philly when his contract is up IMO.

Skinner is a diving like puke though, no thanks.

Buffalo will never trade Vanek to Ottawa.

He's probably the best prospect we have who hasn't touched NHL ice (or AHL for that matter).

I don't know I'd like to see what Richardson, Paulrus can do with him.
