And as such, they're not going to play a lot of the players you would expect to see.

Does that make them more dangerous or less dangerous for the weekend back-to-back games?

Which matchup is better for them in the postseason?

Because I still see a Flyers potential getting in there.

And Washington has Pittsburgh back-to-back.

Yeah, you don't want that matchup.

They just come after, and they have a lot to prove.

There's a lot of pressure on them.

Okay, and the other thing is, the one thing about the Islanders, well, I don't think that's a bad matchup for the Penguins.

Sorokin, even though they had his number the other night, he's a legit guy.

And if he's on one of his roles, that could be tough.

No matter who we're talking about here, you have to have goaltending.

You can have the most talent, just look at Edmonton for all those years, and Skinner was a part of that.

He had great games, he had bad games.

He was inconsistent, which made him available here.

So whoever comes up with the best goaltending in these series is going to have a big advantage.

I'm going to give you three coaches since you brought them up.

Up for Coach of the Year.

Dan Mews, Lindy Ruff in Buffalo.

He's done a pretty good job.
