    Can the Penguins repeat without Kris Letang?

    I wonder if their defense is good enough to repeat. This team was a lock to repeat with him imo. With him out now I don't know -- if they get to the cup they'll be favorites no matter what but can they beat the Ducks or Nashville?

    Nashville would not make the playoffs in the Metro.

    I think they beat Ottawa and then lose to the Preds in the Final. Just my take.

    All that matters is what you do in the playoffs. Reg season doesn't mean shit to me. Nashville is a solid roster top to bottom and they're tough to beat 4 times in a 2 week period.

    Ottawa has beat 2 veteran playoff teams and nobody gave them a chance. Pit looked soft and slow against Wash and honestly got lucky to win that series. I think Pit is way overpriced given Crosby's status, he is one hit from being knocked out of the playoffs.

    Pit is favored because of their history but I think they go down here

    Ottawa is so under the radar and Crosby is playing concussed those take a while to go away.

    +147 to win now, is it actually a good price?

    I think it was +168 or something like that this morning.

    Sure feels like an Ottawa - Nashville final with Nashville winning the cup. That's just me. I feel Capitals are pretty weak and expected them to lose in the first round. Nashville is a beast.

    Any team could beat them in the playoffs including the teams that did not make the playoffs.
    Remember they never made the playoffs last year with basically the same roster.

    Are you talking about the preds?

    They took the sharks to 7 games in the second round before losing out.

    Pitt struggling big time right now on defense and offense. Letang is a huge contributor in both, and can start some breaks and take a lot of pressure off Crosby and Malkin, who can't even find an inch of room right now.

    This is such a tough series to call. Nashville is playing their hearts out and they want it bad. No clue what's gonna happen.

    Nash lost Johanson so it kind of evens out.
