Pens sweep em in 4

I'd love to see Columbus win this series, as they've always seemed like the scrappy underdog. Would be even better if Vermette were still on the team.

I think the pens will sweep this series , if Columbus is very lucky they might score 5 goals total otherwise i see a total blowout for the Pens.

Wishful thinking there.

I say Pens in 5, they swept the regular season series 5-0. But I think Columbus is hot enough to get 1 at home.

Penguins in 4.

Columbus won't even keep the score close in one of these games, much less win it.

Jackets in 6


Gotta root for my old friend Bob!
