You know if Pens miss the playoffs the NHL will ensure they win the lottery

. No, the Pens are too good to miss the playoffs.

I agree, but in a rare scenario where Crosby’s recovery is delayed, and Malkin/ letang both get injured it could happen. I’m just playing around though haha

That's the difference between the Pens and other good teams, they can overcome injuries to their stars and still be a playoff teas. Pretenders, don't have that luxury.
You're playing around? You sound like so many Leaf fans who foresee every tragic future happening. Difference is Leafs don't need disasters to happen mid season, the Leafs problems were confirmed with the lineup on October 1st.

I think the leafs are a better team than a lot of people think. They may not be "true contenders" but I wouldn't be surprised if they won the cup.
