I think all the hype is overconfidence! they will have to be careful! they did make lot of nice moves in the trade department . I think they have a real good chance to make the playoff this year( and what a turnaround that would be ) Stanley cup will be a NO But I can only hope

let's see if he can score a goal right off the bench - on his first shot of his first shift of his first NHL game - like Lemieux did.

i wouldn't rule out a Stanley Cup - we have a lot of good players and anything can happen if they make it to the playoffs. supposedly Crosby is a precision passer, so him and Lemieux on the same line with Recchi storming the net could get real scary for opposing teams.
