It'll Be Pens vs Sens 1st round playoff match-up, rematch from last year!!

By losing to the Flyers today 2-0, the Pens finished 2nd in the Wales Conference and will play the #7 seed Ottawa Senators in the first round of the playoffs. The series will start either Wednesday or Thursday night at the Igloo.

All in all, not a bad result coming out of today. The Pens didn't look too into the game today, but they came out of it healthy, which is most important. Fleury continued to look strong. And we saw the return of Gary Roberts (and Kris Beech for some reason).

So if you had your choice to play either Philly or Ottawa, keep in mind that the Flyers won the season series ve the Pens this year while Ottawa, after starting 15-2, has gone 28-29-8 and is more fragile than grandma's china. Get up a game or even a goal and the doubt will flourish in the Sens locker room.
