a Cinderella type of season. With little hope of even making the playoffs, the Pens turned it all around and began winning. The coaching change was huge.

They are amazing to watch. No one else could keep up. The Sharks were the fastest team out west but they are floundering with the Pens.

They are amazing to watch. No one else could keep up. The Sharks were the fastest team out west but they are floundering with the Pens.

There has been some local commentary on that. The Sharks used their speed against their opponents to take the Western Conference, however they never had to play against it themselves. They were ill prepared to deal with it, whereas there are a number of teams in the Eastern Conference that have young legs and speed.

I agree with that assessment. I think if they had had regular season experience with a fast team, they would have been more prepared to take on the Pens.

Then again, I don't think I have ever seen such a fast team before. I might be biased as a Pens fan, but I just don't remember play like this.
