First of all, BenMac it's damn nice to see somebody who's not a raving lunatic.
Second: Don't get me wrong: I think Crosby is a very very good player, and that everybody is jealous of the Pens for having an absurd wealth of young talent. Crosby and Malkin are studs and possibly the best 1-2 punch since Zetterberg and Datsyuk (I'm a wings fan, so the Eurotwins will always be #1 in my heart).
The penguins have a great team this year, and I totally expect them to get past the first round. I'm a little suspect of their defense, though. Yes, Gonchar is probably a Norris candidate, but other than that, they've got a D corps that is competent, but not exceptional.
The same could be said for goaltending, I think. Fleury is a great goalie, but he's not proven in the playoffs. Conklin...well, Ty's got some catching up to do after he screwed the pooch in 2006, but after the year he's had I think he could do it.
I'm going to enjoy watching the playoffs in the east, I think. Especially if Washington makes the playoffs somehow.
