I was on the fence with them due to how tough the division was. Seems everything has come together.

true but Varlomov has been stupidly good this year

31GP
6 Shutouts
2.12 GAA
0.926SV

would really not like to face the future 2021 Vezina winner in R1 of the playoffs

Frankly that's just stupid. I didn't Pittsburg would do this good and thought Buffalo would do better, but anyone with a brain would pick Pittsburg over Buffalo.

I don’t even remember if I made a determination about the playoffs, but sometimes some pens fans are so damn obnoxious it’s easy to troll them. Good on them for making the playoffs.

I had em as the 2nd best team in the division other than Philly. Least I hit on one of the two.

I just can't believe the Matheson-Ceci pairing is actually holding up, I'm speechless.

Im actually happy people started to doubt us. There was definitely questions on if this team should rebuild, but they for sure still have it in them. Since we didnt have our first, all I wanted to do was make the playoffs. With how this team has played with injuries all year, I am so excited to see what they can do when healthy in the playoffs. I dont want to get my hopes up too much, but this team could make a run for real.

I would personally keep the top 6 how it was before Geno went down and make a few changes in the bottom 6
Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
McCann-Malkin-Kapanen
Zucker-Blueger-Carter
ZAR-Gaudreau-Tanev

I like your lines, they are a little different than what we’ve seen but nothing crazy.

It’s insane to me how irrational people are about the penguins. Even our own fans. We are tied for 1st with a shot to win the division and I see people wanting the coach fired and wanting to nuke the team still.

Cant everybody learn to just believe is Sidney freaking Crosby?
