Pre-Game Talk: Game 3: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Rangers 4/19

[silverfish]

I've heard nothing but rugged blueline savior being held back only by AV's criminal misuse of him talk.

Oh, you mean when he started actually playing well, people started liking him?

What about a year ago, this time? What about two years ago?

McIlrath was indubitably the most bashed Rangers draft pick since Jessiman. To imply that because he's a draft pick of the Rangers people are giving him a longer leash than they would a free agent is absurd. Kid endured 5 years of **** from a lot of this fan base.

that bowl is full of hyper

 

[Holocene]

That has been the case but let's see it continue. I would bet on the Penguins coming out VERY hard for the first 10 minutes.

Good, help Hank get into a groove

Loffen, hvor er vår kamp dagen tråden? Er du sover eller er du spise hákarl?

basiscally where is our GDT

 

[Levitate]

If skjei is just as efficient playing the right side you would play mcilrath and boyle over him?

I think against Pittsburgh Skjei's skating and speed is extremely helpful and the Rangers should try to keep him in the lineup. Against a heavier team McIlrath might be better if it's down to a choice on the right side.

I think so far the Rangers have done a good job limiting Pittsburgh's speed through a combination of forechecking and decent neutral zone play, and that's a big difference in the comparison of the two teams after the first couple of games. Pittsburgh's D isn't great all together but works well with their system if you let them play it, and the Rangers have been pretty good at taking that away. They have to keep doing that while I assume Pittsburgh tries to adjust and gain that advantage back.

This team needed 7 games vs a team with Ray Emery in net, 2 years ago. LOL.

Anything can happen. Pittsburgh is not all of a sudden a push-over because Fleury is out. They still have Maata, Letang, Malkin, Kessel, Crosby, Kunitz, Daley etc.

Hagelin...Hornqvist...

Pitt is a very talented team. They have as much top end talent as any team in the NHL. They were arguably the hottest team entering the playoffs. They ended up with a better record than we did. I believe we entered this series as the underdogs. In fact many people felt our season was over after game one. I'm very proud of how we played game two.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Hagelin...Hornqvist...

How can I forget those two... See? Just proves my point. If we can beat teams with Raanta in net, Pittsburgh can win with Zatkoff or Murray

I know how this is going to sound, but a "different class of people" will be sitting in those lower bowl seats here. This isn't Philly.

 

[Blueshirt13]

Yup team sent an email on it today. Confirmed by TheScore app as well.

It was an impressive display last year.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

I still want one lol

i always want the free stuff they give out! a couple years ago it was a nice scarf and i contacted the organization about buying one and they wouldn't let me buy the give away one, but i could buy another one... i was heated

I sincerely doubt that you've ever heard that said earnestly let alone "nothing but" that.

 

[haveandare]

Are those stats for the regular season or the 2 game sample size of the postseason?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

i highly highly highly doubt it.

It is. Team sent email to us. Also Rangers have done it for 2 years I beleice and there's never been an issue. The products were also already made prior to last nights debacle
