USA Today Ranks Pittsburgh Penguins #3 (he didn't jinx us this year!)

USA Today writer, Kevin Allen, recently posted his pre-season power rankings (remember last year he ranked Pittsburgh #1 and no one understood how he came to that conclusion?).

This year he ranks Pittsburgh 3rd behind the Detroit Redwings and Montreal Canadiens. SUCK IT, Detroit -- you get the "Kevin Allen jinx" this year (too bad for you, Hossa)!!

Here's what he had to say about the Penguins:

3. Pittsburgh Penguins: I’m not sure I believe Miroslav Satan and Ruslan Fedotenko can make up for the loss of Hossa and Ryan Malone. But I do believe that Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin can be among the scoring leaders even if they had a trained chimpanzee on their wing. The Penguins will be in the Stanley Cup mix as long as Crosby is captain.

    There is NOTHING that's gonna make up for Malone. The man is an enigma.

    And I most wholeheartedly concur, with "suck it detroit" (I hate the Red Wings, but more on that later *sly grin*).

    Since I am also a Canidians fan *ducks flying objects thrown by Pens fans* I do think that the Pens vs. Canadians games will be epic, and I plan to try to listen to all of them.

    Oh, and just for the record, I would hit Malone, anytime and/or anywhere. But he's in your conference, Steph. So you have to the writeup. Ha.
