how does a team who squeeks through 7 games have any advantage over a team who dominated 4 straight games?.... Well, technically, you can get a little complacent and lose your momentum. I look at it like this though, if the Pens lose the next series, everyone will point to the long layoff as being bad for them. If they come out and play great and win the next series, people will say that the long layoff was instrumental in the Pens winning the next series. So basically it means absolutley nothing, it's another thing the media likes to blow out of proportion. So anyway, back the to the playoffs... So the Pens have a chance to play Boston, the Caps, or the Rangers right now. Strangely enough, I playing the Rangers doesn't look so bad anymore. One, they also will have the aformentioned layoff, so that can't be an excuse for either team, which is nice. If we're playing the Bruins, they just knocked off a team they were 0-8 against this season and were given zero chance to win. That's not a team I really want to run into. I'd love to play the Caps, that would be an excellent series with an up tempo skating game, but once again, they will have won 3 straight if they're in the second round, so that's not really a team you want to face right away. It'll be nice to play someone this week and at least I know I'll be at the game! Got those tickets for game one!
