Look who's playing in the first round.
Generally surprised to see Vancouver win the President's trophy again this year. This team is NOT anywhere as good as last year IMO.
Evgeni Malkin won his 2nd career Art Ross Trophy. It gave Pittsburgh their 14th ART in the last 24 years. Pittsburgh has more of these awards than any other franchise (Montreal 9) even though the award existed for 20 years before the Penguins began playing.

Penguins notable career highs reached in 11-12:
Malkin: 50 G, 9 GWG
Neal: 40 G, 41 A, 81 P, 18 PPG, 4 GWG*
Kunitz: 26 G, 35 A*, 61 P
Dupuis: 25 G, 34 A, 59 P, 8 GWG
Staal: 50 P, 5 PPG
Letang: 10 G*, 4 PPG*, 3 GWG*
Cooke: 19 G, 4 GWG*
Fluery: 42 W
When 6 of your veteran regulars reach career bests in goals, it's a good year.

The Penguins are the hottest team in the league over their last 20 games. This has been a strong indicator of playoff success since the lockout. Unfortunately, their first round opponents (the Flyers) are tied (with the Devils) for second.
