Even though there is a format in place, matchups set, and hub cities on the horizon I am still in a “I will believe it when I see it” mindset about the 2019-20 Stanley Cup Playoffs. But as long as the matchups are there, I am willing to talk about them. Also for as much as I have enjoyed writing about my random hockey memorabilia and random games from the past I am itching to write about current stuff. So that is what I am going to do.
By now you probably already know the Penguins have a play-in round matchup set with the Montreal Canadiens, a team that under normal circumstances would not have even sniffed the playoffs this season.
