This is a tough one to predict. I didn't watch much of the Sens\Habs series so I don't know what to expect from them.
I think the Pens took the Isles too lightly early on and gt pushed back on their heels and never really recovered. They were outplayed in much of that series. If Nabakov wasn't a sieve the isles probably would have won.
I think this series will be decided by the adjutsments the Pens are able to make. If they show up to play its over in 6 (Anderson and Karlsson being the difference for the Sens)
If they continue to be unable to break out of their zone and the D core gets exposed it could be over in 6 in favour of the Sens.
I think the Pens didn't really respect the Isles, and once they did the Isles had belief, youth and everything else going their way. I think the Pens will be ready for this series.
I say Pens in 6.
