As we discussed on Friday in our Trending Penguins Players the vibes are not great for the Penguins right now going into their First Round Stanley Cup Playoff series against the New York Rangers.
The team has slumped down the stretch, they have lost three consecutive games to the Rangers, the starting goalie is injured and will not be ready for the start of the series, and there seems to be an expectation that the Penguins are going to lose this series.
They easily could. The Rangers are a very good team. But the Stanley Cup Playoffs are also an unpredictable mess sometimes, and this year’s Eastern Conference looks completely unpredictable given the overall strength of the conference and each team in the playoffs.
