[RangersReds03]

I really hate my team right now.

Penguins can finish it out in Game 5

I don't know what the hell happened to this team, but wow. I mean...WOW.

Congrats Pens fans. This series is looking close to done.

Oh it's done.

It's big boy hockey time and the big boys are showing up for Pittsburgh. Zuccarello, Hagelin, and Lundqvist need some help.

I am pleasantly surprised with the Pens this series so far. Great feeling!

Brandon Sutter has played great this entire playoffs for the Pens...

I'd say the last week or so of the season he turned on "that extra gear". Best move DB has made though? Crosby-Malkin-Kunitz line, then Sutter gets Jokinen-Neal.

One Plan Dan may be saving his job after all...

You forgot to mention pants.

The Rangers got some chances when the Pens lost their center contain, but they couldn't convert, and once the storm was weathered, the Pens got right back on the attack and controlled play for just about the whole game.

Lundqvist has kept these games from being blowouts, but man are the Rangers' skaters getting outworked for the most part. That shorty was a really good indication of that point.

Yeah I think it is now safe to say he will be around next year unless they lose this one in 7.

Lemaire...Jacques Lemaire.



Seriously, again, his grubby finger prints are all over this squad right now. Their ability to limit shots and quality chances right now is something I haven't seen from a Pens team maybe ever.

Don't make me bump the first round thread.

I've been impressed with him this postseason, honestly. He's actually been making adjustments and outcoaching the opposition for the most part. Going to the trap and cycle game, shaking up the lines, playing Gibbons over Glass at least, and really riding Paul Martin and Kris Letang with Scuderi playing like crap.

 

[RangersReds03]

Well congrats Pens fans and good luck against Boston/Montreal.

Hey now, I was the remarkably level headed fan in that thread!

Nice hearing the garden "faithful" boo their team off the ice and boo Rick "no show" Nash every time he touches the puck.

The high priced players: Nash, Richards, St. Louis were complete no shows...no heart at all should have kept Callahan at least he had some balls....probably should have put this in the "nutcracker" thread

1,000!
