Stonie: You know I am not predicting a cup win, nor a similarity to the Pens of that year, pal. However what I am actually saying is that playoff  experience will  make Buds or any other team   a better team, capable of competing, better.  If they can't, with that experience become better,  then I suppose you have a very good point. But I believe if they get in, they can become better than they currently are with a year of playoff experience under their belts.  That is not comparing them with any former Cup team. Just saying Pens did, under similar circumstances.
