Penguins in 4.

[Erick Estrada]

I would like to see the Islanders do well but they are up against a far superior opponent. Penguins in 5 but a sweep wouldn't be surprising at all.

[Kaine]

Would absolutely love to see the Islanders win this one, huge Tavares fan and I think he could really take over this series.

I expect the Pens will win but this series has upset written all over it.

[PaperBagger'14]

Pens in 5, Jarome putting up a few clutch points.

[Wood]

I'm happy Tavares is going to get some recognition now playing in meaningful games, I'm rooting for the Islanders

[frinkprof]

The biggest key for the Penguins is shutting Tavares down. I'd imagine he'll see a healthy dose of Brenden Morrow, Brandon Sutter and whichever D-man they assign to him. Martin or Murray perhaps.

Penguins in 5.

Hoping the Islanders take this one. Haven't they played the Penguins well this year?

Crosby will take a puck to the head and be out again... He has some brutal luck against the Isles....

Islanders in 7. David Volek in OT.

[OffsideSpecialist]

I'm hoping to see a repeat of '93, but I'm thinking the Pens take it with the Islanders dragging it out to 6 games.

[Drake]

Love to see the whiny and hypocritical ######s from Pittsburgh eliminated, Pittsburgh is a far superior team though. They take it in 6.

[Caged Great]

Isles in 4. That way our draft pick will be 25th or 26th.

[Flickered Flame]

I want an upset here, Isles in 7.

[Jacks]

Pittsburgh in 5

That is what many predicted back in 1993. A goalie by the name of Glenn Healey along with David Volek and Pat Lafontaine helped the Islanders do the unthinkable.

Isles in 7.. I really have a feeling that this is going to be the big upset we see every year

[skudr248]

This series actually intrigues me the most, definite underdogs are the islanders. The Pen's lineup is just deadly, especially with Crosby expected to return for game 1, I am hoping for the Islanders to hugely upset the Pen's in 7.
