They played so much better on Saturday, then sunk back down again yesterday. I know they can do it, but I keep reminding myself how young many of them are. That might be a factor. In any case, I am behind my Pens no matter what happens next (although I would prefer to see them win ).

Jen, I totally agree. They're a young team and should guided along by the older players. I too back the Pens all the way!

Gary Roberts is more or less the leader of that team right now. He got it done yesterday by scoring that first goal. The most exciting thing about the Penguins is they are this good now and will only get better. It will be very interesting to see how many of this young crop they have they can keep around. Sooner or later, they are all going to demand (and deserve) big bucks. The only black spot I see is Fleury... He has proven time and again in his young career that he cannot handle big game pressure. I wonder how long the Penguins are going to be patient with him?

Yes those are only problems I forsee in the future with the Pens.... they will not be able to shell out the big bucks for all those rookies when the time comes for a raise in pay. They will have to start picking and choosing.

And of course Fleury.... he will never be forgiven for that Jr game.... and he will never get over it IMO. he does great if they have a two goal + lead... it's when it comes down to a tie or one goal game and he chokes. Saw that way too often when he played for WBS.
