Game Thread: Rivalry Night: 12/18/13 • Rangers v. Pittsburgh Penguins • 8PM • NBCSN

I think Martin plays better defense than Tang but that's not saying much. Mikkelsson is basically where Alex Grant was last year. Best dman in the farm system but we'll probably trade him for nothing. I'll say one thing for sure , if we ever have to make a defensive stop I would much rather have Maatta, Despres, Bortuzzo, Dumoulin, & Samuelsson on the ice over Tang.

Hmm.. This doesn't look like much of a rivalry to me. More like one team the Pens dominating the other the Rangers. All that money & still only 2 Cups.

Dan Snyder fails to see your point.

Yet we've dominated the Pens the last two times we played them...

Rangers won on November 6th , Pens won the previous game on April 5th. Rangers have won 2 of the last 3 in decisive fashion tho. At the same time, Pens have won 8 of the previous 10.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

I don't really care about previous match ups tho. My main focus is on the performance of guys like Maatta, Despres, Dumoulin, Bortuzzo, Samuelsson, & Gibbons. Really excited about seeing these guys getting their chance in the NHL. Will be cool to see how they handle Rivalry Night at MSG.

WOW. Eddie O was heated in his remarks against the players. And he is correct.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

I like it when Eddie O & Milbury act like they have the answers. If it were anyone else saying that maybe I would take it seriously.

 

[thedddd]

Oh don't get me wrong he is a goof but it is on the players to quit doing these stupid things.


But that's why they have Jones who at least had brain cells left to have a voice of reason.

True true, they were right on. Just wish they weren't the ones saying it.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Edzo just rabbles and rabbles and won't shut up, I'm not a fan of his act

Jonesy is the one smart guy in that group

 

[thedddd]

Doobs and Cobie you are both correct. Only if they let Jones make the statement, he would have made it short sweet and to the point.

Just imagine the locker room speeches Eddie O's gave while coaching the Pens. They would have been classic. As for Milbury I would have paid money to witness his speeches.

Nice promo for Sochi, can't wait till the Olympics.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Just a gut feeling but I think a team from the Metropolitan division will be victorious !

Pierre McGuire has a terrible voice for TV or radio, it always sounds like he's mumbling.

Definitely has a face for radio.

Definitely has a face for radio.

That's for sure.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Wow great play and nice save !!!!

This is a strange GNT, two pages before the game starts and zippo after it starts?

 

[Darkstone42]

Tight game so far.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Tight game so far.

C'mon DS, You can do better than that a 0-0 game SOG 9-6. Are you trying to take my job as captain obvious? Lets talk intangible data or something here.
