I don't think they will perform well in the playoffs; too many young ones and not enough veterans.
That line of reasoning may have worked last year, but this year they have more mature talent and now some playoff experience. If young Fleury shows signs of buckling under the pressure they have the veteran Ty Conklin who is been outstanding this year.
Well I still think they need a few more years of maturing in order to take on veteran teams like Ottawa and Detroit. But they could prove me wrong!
And of course I am quite biased in my reasoning.

As a Pens fan I hope they get home ice advantage and they do not face the Senators or the Flyers in the Playoffs. The Senators scare me and the Flyers always seem to have our number come playoff time.
