Penguins roster for the playoff push

So what does the team look like now that the dust has settled?  Here's the breakdown:

Center
Crosby
Malkin
Staal
Talbot

Right wing
Sykora
Guerin
Kennedy
Adams

Left wing
Kunitz
Fedotenko
Cooke
Dupuis

Defense
Gonchar
Orpik
Letang
Gill
Scuderi
Eaton

Scratch
Godard

So I'm seeing the following lines:
Kunitz - Crosby - Guerin
Fedotenko - Malkin - Sykora
Cooke - Staal - Kennedy
Dupuis - Talbot - Adams

I like this lineup better than any I've seen so far this year from the Pens.  They can mix in Godard when they play the Flyers and bring guys up from Wilkes-Barre in case of injury.

I'm excited to see where things go from here.  This looks much more like a team well-positioned for a nice playoff run.  

Great job by Ray Shero!
