Series Thread: Penguins vs Rangers Series Thread

[Darkstone42]

it has been said the Rangers go as far as Hank takes them, that's all I'm saying

That's only said because the rest of the team can't score half the time. I'm definitely not a Rangers fan, but to put a lack of playoff success on Hank is ridiculous.

Sounds like a flaw in roster construction to me.

Is this actually a discussion being had?

If the Rangers have replacement-level goaltending the past decade they'd be putting up the point totals they were putting up in the late 90s-early 00s. Take Hank away from NYR for a year and they'd make this year's Habs look like a contender.

The Rangers attempted five shots after the Pens took the lead (with what, 13 minutes left?)...Hank isn't the problem. Heck, only reason the Rangers scored was due to a sloppy Geno turnover. They had some zone time, but the Pens never let them face the net, all shots were from the perimeter.

The Rick Nash experiment has failed. Send him back. You can have Dubi, Tyutin and... ummm... Rychel.

Was it just me or did that look pretty intentional?

Ehhhh, it's a little tougher to tell intention here, and slow-mo that many have shown makes it seem like he had time to fully think about the choice. No suspension is pretty surpris...wait, it's not. It's really not. Absolutely worthy of suspension, being the point. Not really sure how they justify not being disciplined, actually. Pens fans keep going back to the Staal stuff, which also deserved some form of discipline, but ultimately it's irrelevant here. Should've gotten *something*.

If the NHL wants this series to continue, he should get 4 games. So that being said, expect a 4 game suspension.

Already announced there's nothing coming. Huge bullet dodged, considering Letang basically keeps the team moving.

OOOOOF!!!

Yeah, that was blatant. But as we have been reminded over and over, the Pens get special treatment and he won't face any consequences.

Oh, don't you worry, I'll run with it to exasperating levels.

I was half being facetious. I think a game or two would have at sufficed.
