Series Thread: Penguins vs Rangers Series Thread

[Gooch1034]

12 wins to go for the Pens! If todays team keeps showing up, they are going to break a lot of hearts!

Obviously the rest of the team was of no help throughout the series but Henrik was downright bad in that series. He let in way too many softies in this one, glove side, very make able. He needed to be flawless for them to have a chance and he was far from it.

On top of that just way too many bad penalties by the Rangers throughout the series. Pittsburgh is going to score on the PP, they're just too good not to. So giving them opportunity after opportunity on the PP is a death sentence.

Pittsburgh was flying in this series, the speed, puck movement, all top notch. If they can continue getting timely goaltending they'll be a very tough out.

The team in front of him gave up the last 2 games and he played like a goalie would in that situation.

Not gonna lie, that Staal deal may go down as an all-timer. Not really sure what the expectations were on a guy who hasn't been elite for a few years now, but he didn't even meet the low bar I had set for him.

AND the Hagelin trade

No he wasn't playing well the last 10 games of the regular season

AND the Hagelin trade

And deciding Boyle was worth more than keeping Stralman.
Or trading multiple first rounders for St. Louis, and Yandle, and Staal. I know those other moves had short term success to a point (St. Louis and getting to SCF) but they have a lot of work to do to make up for losing so much in prospect depth. They have some young guys capable in NHL, but not picking in the first so many years in a row can grate on a team.

Henrik in real danger of not ever winning a cup

.

and then subsequently healthy-scratching him in what could be his final game.
