Completely ignoring wins/losses... you’re a bigger eye test/effort kinda guy then me would you say that you like the way the Pens have looked throughout the season? Watching them game in and game out, do you think they’ve been a good hockey team?
Personally, I don’t. I see many problems up and down the lineup. Yeah they’ve had a few games they outplayed the other team and lost but I would say that they’ve had more games where they don’t look good than games where they do.
I’m also of the same mindset of it doesn’t matter how you get the job done, but I would much rather see a team play a sustainable brand of hockey and I just don’t see that happening with the Pens. They’re too Jekyll and Hyde.

Jekyll and Hyde is a great way to put them.
To my eye and effort test there's been alot of lack luster periods. I truly believe though there are 4 or 5 losses in that column they deserved to win and that makes all the difference in the standings. I think shoddy goaltending and loose careless defense are the main culprits. When Murray let's in stinkers the whole team ends up reeking that game. When he makes a big save or 2 in 1st periods the team can look a championship caliber team.
The 4 games before the Sens game I think they were the better team and should of won and they did actually win one of those.
