The Pens have just about everything going for them, the only 2 things I can think of going against them is that Vokoun, while being solid has looked shaky at times. As well I don't think they have been really tested yet.

I have been pretty underwhelmed with Iggy so far. We haven't even seen a hint of angry beast mode Iggy. But to his credit, while lacking the quickness that he once had and being surprisingly weak on the puck, he has been very good positionally, he is doing some little things that are helping Neal and Malkin do what they do.

If I had to take a wild out of left field guess, I think he is having too much fun. He is playing with great players and just having a blast doing so. Maybe once he realizes how close he is, and having personal experience with how hard it is to get back to the cup final, he will really bear down and maybe we will get a hint of the once dominant Iggy. Maybe the physicality of the Bruins will bring it out in him, or maybe he just continues to do what he has been doing. Solid, but hardly spectacular.

He doesn't need to be that guy anymore.

Anyway, Bruins have the Goalie advantage so I'll take them in 5.
