I don't know if the Habs will beat them but are the Penguins as good as everyone makes them out to be? Last year, as the playoffs neared, the notion of them winning the cup was considered a joke. They haven't improved that much. Heck, didn't they get smoked during their visit to Vancouver? They certainly have a shot but league parity gives all the remaining teams a shot.
They won't make it that far...I think the Hab's real difficulties will start in the 4th round.......... :smile:

They should coast and save their energy for Vancouver.

When we consider that the fourth round is the Stanley Cup final, it will be two elite
teams to make it to that point. Vancouver got by LA in the first round and they should be able to get around Chicago in the second. If the Habs win their second round they could be playing Vancouver in the third. Does that leave Vancouver to play San Jose in the final........I think I'm missing a team here....;-):lol:

Looks like after the Canucks have had a good feed of hawk, they may be feasting on Shark..................LOL

Too many imponderables to make a prediction here. Based on the season's statistics, Washington should have taken Montreal out in five, six at most, and we all know that didn't happen. Hot goaltender, bit of luck, incomprehensible psychological factors... anything can happen in the playoffs. Remember Ken Dryden's first playoffs? Habs won the Cup that year, but certainly shouldn't have based on the season's statistics. But stuff like that happens all the time, the season's statistics don't really seem to count for much once the playoffs start. Giants get killed off, supposedly second-rate teams play way over their heads, it's a whole new season. I'll be very surprised if the Habs get past the Pens, about as surprised as I was when they got past Washington, I'll be more surprised if they end up in the final series, and staggeringly surprised if they win it. But they could, it's what one of my old math profs would have called a "finite non-zero probability." VERY small, but not zero. And if that happens, I'll be very pleased for a while. It's not like it's really important in the larger scheme of things, it's just one of those "it'd be nice" things.
So yeah, them Habs are amazing. So far.
