has nothing to do with points. it's all about matchups. the pens matchup well against Washington or Florida (which are the 2 most likely 1st rounders as of today)
i see no way the Flyers beat the Caps in a series though. not saying it's impossible, i'm saying it's a better matchup for the Pens in the first round
if the Pens have to see the NYR or Boston its a different story. those are terrible matchups for the Pens. but chances are they won't see either of those teams in the 1st round

The way they are both playing right now, the Pens and Flyers are shaping up to be the two Eastern WC teams (or better.) If they both somehow make it far enough to face each other, it'd be a great playoff matchup as always.

yea Pens v. Flyers would be very fun but man, they'd have to do some dragon slaying to get to that point
