Ducks vs Penguins Prediction

I'm here with the Ducks. I understand that the Penguins are too talented a team to continue to struggle like this, but the fact is that we are where we are with the Penguins right now and I am in no way, shape or form willing to have one to charge such a price Pittsburgh. The Ducks won't win many games, but they have been competitive from the start and I think they provide value here. Give me Anaheim.
