Woo hoo! Watching Pens-Sens right now on NHL network. Good pace to this game, though I'd obviously prefer it if Ottawa would start losing any moment now...

Welcome back to the game, gentlemen.
Anybody wanna make picks?
I'm picking a wings pens rematch in the finals, barring injuries to Crosby or Lidstrom in the playoffs.

That was my pick as well Jeff... except the outcome will be reversed this year.
