Pittsburg is not going to be second, Washington is making the playoffs

Penguins are starting the year without Crosby and Malkin lol. I agree.

I doubt Tampa will be 1st in the Atlantic. They are well passed the point of needing to compete during the regular season and have played more games over the past 2 seasons than anyone. They'll probably coast during the year, like they did last season, to be ready when the playoffs roll around.

Their bottom six isn’t as strong now

Swap Pittsburgh and Washington, also don't see either of Dallas or Minnesota making it over St. Louis. Calgary probably makes it over Vancouver too (my guess is 4 teams from each make it though

Even with the bottom six not as strong, they are still the best team in the Atlantic. I just don't think they need to show it during the regular season.

I agree with most of this. Also don't listen to the haters above, there biased against the pens. There making the playoffs. They get better every year i the regular season. Crosby's only out for the first Week of the season and Pens always start the season badly. Then we find our game and become top 3 in the division. The only thing I would change here is FLA. There top 2 in ATL easily

Maybe fourth in the division

there better than the caps. The caps didnt do much in the offseason, and neither did PIT. And PIT won the division last year

Sure we didn’t do much. We don’t need to. We have so much depth and we are better than the pens. Also we tied in points last year but yes you won the division

Neither did the pens. And ummmm pens have alot more depth. There top 3 in depth

We have one of the best 4th lines and most consistent. Also, are top 9 are all potential 20 plus goal scorers

pens also had one of the best 4th lines. We also have one of the best 1st lines. But why do you think the pens were able to win games with Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Guentzel, and a bunch of others out? Because the pens have endless depth. Zucker - Carter - Kapanen was also one of the best lines in the nhl at the time.

You guys had the easiest schedule last two months of regular season

Last three months actually

Our last 36 games we were playing teams who were fighting for a playoff spot

15 of the 36 those games were against the devils and sabers. 9 of the 36 games were teams that made the playoffs

yet that has nothing to do with the Zucker - Carter - Kapanen line. They played good every night

Truce. Do you know anything on the Wizard of Oz
