Hey Dave,

I'll join. Nice to have some options for different boards

Hard to tell how far the Pens will go, health as with most teams will be the major factor.

If the D jells we will be a force in the East.

If the refs enforce the rules, our power play could go down in history as THE best of all time with the talent. If we could get a healthy LeClair to jam the net, unstoppable. I suspect we will see a mid to high 30 % conversion rate.

At any rate, we'll see if some other folks sign up for the board.

thanks
dont have to worry about the board fading and not having upkeep either.

how the refs call the game and how serious the league is about cracking down will determine alot. I totally agree.

I think 2nd round of playoffs and then stanley cup finals next season.

Like I said on a diff board, I feel its all about how the team gels and how good their chemistry is together, as well as how the refs will really keep up with the obstruction.

Small wonder team president Ken Sawyer said the other day, "We're not content just to make the playoffs. We want to go deep into them."

im thinkin all the way baby, with or with-out Malkin. my season tickets are looking better and better everyday.

I think they will go to the conference finals, barring any unforseen injuries to key players! I say this because they are a team with new faces and i feel that it will take more than 1 season to go all the way!

The team is much improved, but has too many question marks. Lemieux's health. LeClair's health. No centers. Not much defense. If all comes together, they could make some noise. But it never does in sports, so I'm saying it's all up in the air at this point. We'll probably have some hot streaks, and some cold streaks. Playoffs are questionable. I never count on the best case scenario, then I'm happily suprised if it happens.
