Over the past several seasons, I’ve gone with my heart over my head when evaluating the Penguins’ playoff prospects. Well, that’s not entirely true. Last season I genuinely believed we had a team that could go a few rounds and even challenge for the Cup.
Wish I felt that way this time around. Especially with it in all likelihood being the last dance for our big three of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang.
Reflecting on our upcoming first-round matchup with the Rangers, I’m reminded of a song from the Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun…Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better).
