I am a life long Pens fan and didn't think they had a chance to repeat due to injuries and schitty play in general. Seriously thought the Blue Jackets would win the series easily because the Pens don't respond well to the physicality of a hard checking team. Historically they quit playing hockey and start fighting.

But then they easily won their two home games. Then they come back from a 3-0 deficit and win in OT... I think they have what it takes as long as they keep their heads and play their brand of hockey.

Caps are struggling with Toronto for Christs sakes. Two OT games and they are split. No one else in the east presents a challenge for the Pens. They definitely have a chance to repeat.
