Super Mario and Jaromir Jagr versus Miroslav Satan and Chris Gratton. I like the first two better. There's no hiding the fact that the Penguins have more super-star power up front. Besides Lemieux and Jagr, Pittsburgh also has the likes of Alexei Kovalev, Robert Lang and Martin Straka, all of which are very dangerous players. But when it comes to depth, the Sabres clearly control the board.
Buffalo can throw out four solid lines that can score.
Something Pittsburgh can't do. Two great lines versus four very good lines. Prior to the Penguins series with the Capitals, this area of the game would have been no contest. But Pittsburgh seems to have a renewed defensive approach to their game. Buffalo has seven solid defensemen and four solid back-checking lines.
