Game Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins(1) vs New York Rangers(2)

Well at least you would have a draft position ours would go to TB if we beat you

Oh yeah that's right, I forgot about that. Really not worth it at all for the Rangers to beat the Pens unless they somehow think they could beat the Bruins.

Well stay in the series and hope Canadiens beat the Bruins if they do close out the Pens. If Bruins win the series just pull the goalie for all of game 7 against the Pens

Knowing the Pens they would just shoot wide or make too many passes and never shoot at all.

Ok we will take a bunch of penalties too.

Have you seen our power play? You'll just score short handed goals if you do that.

So it will be just a bunch of players standing at center ice

I think we've given up more short handed goals during the playoffs than we've scored power play goals. I actually wish we would be able to decline penalties sometimes. I actually like being short handed more than having the man advantage as of late.

In game 1 they said you have scored six PP goals and gave up 3 SHG

Okay, it isn't as bad as I thought, but still

Well if the Pens want to win get the lead and then just keep taking penalties we won't be able to score

True, that's the one time we looked good against the Rangers, when we were killing penalties.

Hank did all he can do, last night and the team sucked. He stood on his head for 55 minutes and gets no support. Typical

I agree Johnny, Lundqvist was great in net, really only goal you could fault him for was the 2nd goal he gave up to Jokinen. 1st goal was more on Girardi than Lundqvist. I was really pleased with the play of Letang, he looked himself for the first time since his stroke.

Nothing he could do about the 2nd one. He had to slide over towards the right post to make the initial save, it was just a fortunate bounce to a wide open Jokinen and he's not gonna miss that shot on net. He played great, whole team sucked.

I agree, but stealth (aka fock) would say he shouldn't have given up the rebound!

Of course.

And Cam would have scored us two goals

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Cam would've gotten a hat trick

Cam deserves MVP

Don't take stealth's hate for Lundqvist too personally. The other day he was telling me that Gretzky is overrated as well. Stealth just have very high (arguably unrealistic) standards for the players. I'm not sure how good stealth sees Cam Talbot but he must be up there with Terry Sawchuck, Patrick Roy, & Martin Brodeur for him to be in stealth's good graces.
