Don't kid yourselves, Ottawa is in tough to beat Pitt.
Pitt in 6.

Disagree on pretty much every point you make. Isles don't really have any business being a playoff team, but the Eastern Conference had way more bad teams than average this year. The fact they won a couple games reflects badly on the Pens more than anything.
The Sens have the best goalie in the league and were missing Anderson, Karlsson and Spezza for large parts of the season. This team is a legit contender, and the way they handled the Habs is evidence of that. If the Pens don't get their **** together on defense they're going to be embarrassed.
