They less have pressure on them this year since they weren't dominant favorite team and that worries me.

Pens have minimal pressure...its all gravy at this point...this series is all pressure on Washington.

Maybe...ovie has never...i repeat never beat sid In anything meaningful. Until it happens...i will pick sids team.

At least the Bruins/Leafs are going seven, so this gives them more time to rest. I would imagine the playoffs will start either Friday or Saturday.

We're the better team on paper but there's a solid chance they could out-emotion us.

I am worried that you guys won't choke this time and come to this series shot out of a cannon.

My 'town' has almost 4 times the population of Pittsburgh. America really needs to start investing more into education.

I thought you once told us you were originally from Calgary but were presently staying in some tiny speck on the map out on the prairie in the oil patch...but that was like 2 years ago, so maybe I've got that all mixed up.

naw, they won't. It'll be a quicker dismantlement of the Caps this year...

Are you me? Your sarcastic negative view of your team seems eerie similar

Maybe. But as long as you are a contender, no matter how many Cups you've won, it's a wasted season not getting to at least the SCF in my opinion.

This year the Pens are contenders, & should be under as much pressure as their opponents if not more. I think everyone expects the Caps to get beaten so maybe they're not under any pressure? Maybe.

Of course the Caps have alot of pressure playing the Pens in the 2nd round hahah to think otherwise is ridiculous. They haven't made it outside 2nd round in the Ovi era, haven't beat Pens in the Ovi era, might be losing their #1 D in offseason and their core are getting older. They have lots of pressure.

Ovie gets a raw deal. He usually has good playoff numbers, but the guys around him fall apart and he gets the blame.

This is BS. No team has more pressure on them than the other.
