Ekmanc 586 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Pens please, Bruins goalkeeping is about a million times better and Boston are just a playoff machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,788 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Probably the Pens, and only because Malkin and Crosby are so fragile with injuries. Fleury can stink it up too. At the same time, their powerplay would rape our PK. And they get a lot of powerplays. 1 hillbillywingsfan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,198 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 We want the Pens. We stack up better against them, and I think we'd have a really good chance against the Flyers or Rangers. It'll probably be the Bruins, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Problem is - if we take Pitts their PP is almost automatic. These new NHL refs tend to call penalties in bunches and that scares me going into the playoffs where the reffing is always worse with the stakes higher. Pitts was clearly the team with the more serious infractions tonight but total penalties were about even. I'd actually like Boston instead I think - no Crosby/Malkin and less potent pp. Although if MAF plays like he did against philly I'd take Pitts though.

Dabura 12,198 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 The Pens' power play does scare me. They could sweep us without scoring a single even-strength goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 I think we should not pick our own poison. As long as we play our best hockey we can realistically compete with both teams. We match up well against Boston and have done so for a few years. I know its only regular season I'm basing that off but still. The pens have weaker D and questionable goalie. But at the same time I think fleury is gonna play with something to prove in the playoffs I do not think he is gonna stink it up like everyone thinks. Also there is no denying the pens always benefit from the officials so we would end up short handed more against them and they have a lethal pp. Bottom line, there are pros and cons of facing both teams but the bottom line is it won't matter who we play if we don't play well. If we play like we did tn, then we can compete with both teams and make it a series. Whoever we play, go wings!! 2 Dabura and DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,198 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Y'know what? I'm fine with Boston. We're gonna have to go through them anyway if we want to come out of the East. I guess I feel like if we get the Pens (and beat them), the Bruins will make it to the conference finals, whereas if we get the Bruins (and beat them), it might be the Flyers in the conference finals. So...get the Bruins (and beat them), yay. Get the Pens (and beat them), Bruins. It made more sense in my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaynardJmzKeenan 18 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I think we could beat either ;-) probably come out of the penguin series healthier though with as physical the b's play... Edited April 10, 2014 by MaynardJmzKeenan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vladiator 116 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Hoping for the Pens but we all know that picking your poison isn't the way to go. It would be awesome if Z can go sometime in the 1st round.
