Manatee-X Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 The last few years when these guys have met there's always been a clear and obvious favourite, but not so much this year IMO. Remember last time when Pittsburgh "threw" their last game of the season to play the Sens, then proceeded to sweep them? This should be a pretty fun match-up.

Hawker_mtl Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I actually picked this one to be a Pens sweep. The Sens have an untested goalie in nets and they lost one of their game-breakers and PP specialists in Kovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hey! I think this should be a pretty good series, actually. Haven't they met the past two post-seasons, as well, splitting the series? I'm secretly pulling for Ottawa! I like that Alfie guy way more than Sid the Squid.

cyoungerrr Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 not a fan of the Sens, mostly because they always takle care of the Habs no matter how poorly they have been playing up to that point. I like the Pens, but they won last year and it's time for them to sit. Plus the Sens are Canadian based. Go Sens! Pens in 5 or 6 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid-Canada_mtl Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Well Ottawa is missing their top offensive defencemen Kuba and Kovalev their 4th leading scorer. Cooke-Staal-Kennedy will matchup against Michalek-Spezza-Alfredsson and Ottawa does not have the weapons to produce a ton of goals outside that line. Fisher and Cullen may do well but Fisher's been only OK the last month and Cullen only has 8 points in 21 games since being traded. The one advantage Ottawa has is shutdown D-men since they have 3 monster D-men (Sutton, Phillips and Volchenkov) and they will need them to shutdown Pittsburgh's top 2. The real key might be Erik Karlsson the rookie and if he can play a 2-way game and get some points from the back-end. Pittsburgh obviously has the weapons to go against any team and high scoring defensemen but they might have a bit of an issue with a shutdown pair. Then again Leopold and Orpik are good 2-way D-men and could go with Staal's line to matchup vs Spezza + Alfie. They are fairly healthy and have decent wingers, which could actually lead to either Guerin or Ponikarovsky playing on the 3rd or 4th line since Dupuis is tearing it up at a PPG pace recently playing in the top 6. Fleury is battle-tested in the playoffs and the last time these 2 teams met, Pittsburgh dominated them. (of course minus Heatley for Ottawa and Hossa for Pittsburgh for now). 4-1 Penguins is my prediction. Go Pens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondalsf Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 This should be a good series. Would have been a lot better with Kovalev playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carey_Price Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 As a habs fan living in Ottawa...I not only hope the sens lose in 4 games, but I also hope each loss is a 1-0 shutout just to make the losses a lot more sweeter so it'll be more enjoyable when i make fun of my friends. But that most likely won't happen, but hey...here's too Ottawa losing to the pens whether it's in 4 games or 7 game. Go pens go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColRouleBleu Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm glad those two teams match up in 1st round, it garantees that one of the two will be out I wont go as far as chanting go Sens , but I hope Cindy bursts form an overdose of Pizza.

js2 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I wonder if the Sens staff will put that giant poster outside the Penguins dressing room of the Penguins losing to the Sens like they did last year and then proceeded to get swept.

teststory Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm pretty sure the Sens will lose with the injury and goaltending issues they have. Their goalies are up and down a lot and without Kovalev their secondary scoring isn't so great. With Kuba out of the lineup they only have Karlsson for offense from the defense. My guess is Pens in 5 or 6. Crosby and Malkin will abuse an Ottawa defense that has let in a lot of goals against this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianMike Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 When I really think about it I wonder how will Sens even have a chance to win this. Still I have no choice.... always cheer for the SENS (unless against Habs or Caps). Bunch of great guys on that team! Go Sens Go!! ALFIE!!! SPEZZ!!! FISHY!!! VOLCH!!!!

CanadianMike Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Got my pic with Mike Fisher up. Will wear my Jason Spezza tshirt that he signed while holding my son's DANIEL ALFREDSSON toy and hoping for a miracle to begin tonight. GO SENS!!!
