with a Saturday night win and go from there.

Otherwise, if they can continue this heater, I'll become concerned.

To me, it comes down to, I know a lot of people talk about either side, who they have between the pipes.

How good is Dan Vladar at this point, though?

I kind of talked myself into it.

Oh, delicious.

Let's get there.

I think that the road ends for them unless the Sens can do some dirty work against the Canes in round one.

I think that reasonably, that's the matchup in the entire Wales that the Pens wouldn't be able to survive.

I don't think they could win four out of seven.

I'd love it.

I can't see that.

And as far as that goes, last question for you.

All the talk all season, the three-headed monster in one division in the Campbell Conference.

But of late, it seems to me that it's not the Avs or anyone else.

The Canes might be the best team in the league.

Don't love them in goal as usual, but Pete, how's that?

They also have a perfect storm going against them.

One, there is their own history that has worked against them and is surely in their heads.

And then on top of it, they're still the team that's supposed to do it in the Wales Conference this year.
