Poll Question:
While I was extremely upset at seeing the Devils lose their series with the Canes (pool reasons), I couldn't help but lick my lips at the thought of Crosby's Pens being matched up with Ovechkin's Caps. The hockey world is constantly debating over who's better between Sid and Ovie, and now those discussions can be settled in a series that pits the two against each other. Not to mention that the NHL's top 3 players will all be present in this series. When matching up the teams, the edge has to be given to Pittsburgh, but Washington does have home ice and they did go 3-1-0 in their season series with Pittsburgh. I have a feeling that they'll really bring it early in this series, knowing that they can't let themselves get behind like they did with the Rangers. So, who do you guys think will win, and in how many games?

I think Pittsburgh will win. The addition of Kunitz and Guerin will really help them.
No cup for Dino, what a shame |

Washington may have an extra step simply because they came back from 3-1. Overall though, the Pengiuns will fluster Varalamov, he'll fold, Penguins take it in 6.

| I can't see Varlamov folding. The series with the Rangers gave him a ton of confidence. Sure the Rangers have the 3rd worst ranked offense in the NHL, but confidence is a magical thing, and if the Caps play good enough defensively in front of him I think he'll be able to match Fleury's play. |

OV's performance in game 7 was terrible, if he doesn't step up his game to match Crosby and Malkin (who are both playing AMAZING) the Caps have no chance to win this. Fleury has convinced me that he is a money goalie, so Varlamov had better steal a game or two.
I think the Pens are more physical and if they lay a beating on Mike Green, Semin and Backstrom it will be a short series.
I voted Pens in 6.
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E". |

| Looks like majority thinks Pens take it in 6. I can't see it happening. The Caps are relieved to make it passed the Rangers after going down 3-1 and they know they have to come into this series gunning from the get go. Should be some high scoring games. |

Ovechkin was the games first star and outplayed both Crosby and Malkin. He's proving he's the better player, thus Ovie-1 Sid-0. |
