Gonna be really interesting to see what Hextall does.
A week ago, people were despondent over the 1-1-1 stretch against New Jersey. Now, the Pens are the greatest ever. All the years, the Pens just elevated during the regular season through injuries, maybe I'm just a little more reticent to read significant playoff implications into it like others.
The Pens are in a flawed division. And they're a lot closer than anyone thought when JR walked out the door to having as good a chance as anyone.
EDIT: The Islanders have called it a night. Enjoy the ride.
