The only hope the Rags have of winning the Cup is if the Pens have to play as the lower seed.
Pittsburgh has a HUGE advantage in that shithole of an arena they call the Igloo. Not only does Therrien get the pleasure of potentially matching Crosby or Malkin against the visiting team's third line, since it's their arena, they're used to playing on that choppy ice. Watch a Penguins game. When the puck is bouncing around Pittsburgh has no problem handling it while visiting teams struggle. It's as bad as Detroit's slingshot halfboards.
