Injuries pretty much derailed the 2010-11 Pittsburgh Penguins' run to the Stanley Cup. More specifically, injuries to Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, two of the best players in the league, did the team in. A return to full health would benefit the team greatly, as both Crosby and Malkin are the difference between just making the playoffs and winning the Stanley Cup. James Neal was a midseason acquisition, but failed to produce his goal scoring totals in Pittsburgh. Injuries at center has a lot to do with it, so this year, he should be back to his usual totals of around 30 goals. Marc-Andre Fleury was the reason the Penguins almost made it to the second round last year. In fact, he was the MVP of the team, as he held the team together with his best regular season yet. Consistency will be key for a repeat year.
Prediction: 2nd in East
Movie: None. However, it is an excuse to break out this 1996 commercial that qualifies as horror.
