It's all so tiresome
I'm a little concerned with this matchup, Crosby and Malkin are imposing figures no matter what. And I think Pitt is getting a bit underrated. Still Letang is out, and I think our speed will give their defense fits. Gotta move the puck quickly and limit time in the defensive.
Crosby is the opposite of imposing. We are getting a team limping into the post season. We need our boys to execute and we got this.

I'm absolutely LOVING the end of this fishstick game, blew it again, and no home ice!! Bwahahaha!!! Loving it.
And I don't mind this draw at all, and no boston. This is our time, this is our year. I believe. LET'S GO RANGERS!!! They will NOT get their revenge on us. Not this year!!

Crosby and Malkin have had underwhelming seasons and that team has collapsed in big games all year.
If this series goes beyond 5 games, we ****ed up.

Its literally their entire team. Now that Letang is done, no one else scores for them.

Anything can happen in a series, but just don't see how we don't win this in 5 (or maybe even 4).
Pens are banged up badly (look at their starting 6 on defense, sheesh...), our defense and depth can contain Crosby and Malkin, MAF is a playoff choke artist, etc.

He's a great player. That's why he can have an underwhelming year and still finish top 3 in scoring.
He is usually way ahead of everyone in PPG. Not this year. Ergo, underwhelming.

Outside of Crosby and a limping Malkin, the least talented team in the tournament. Go for the throat fast and early.

Not sure who the Pens are going to have available on defense. That's a ****ing major major issue--for them. Downie is a penalty taking machine. Bottom 6 depth is not great and a goalie prone to collapse under pressure.
You really never know. The games have to be played one at a time but the Rangers really have no business losing this series--or even taking long to finish them off.

This is the most stressed I've ever been about a Rangers playoff team. 
They have to go all the way.

I'm pretty sure Malkin isn't at 100% either. Although he and everyone else will have four days off for any injuries to heal.
We will have our full healthy lineup for the first time in a long time.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it right now.
This game will not be officiated evenly. I guarantee it.

Oh, I'm already expecting this to be the case, and even more so since the Pens are banged up..
They'll want to keep that team in it for as long as they can.

I hope the Rangers can hang with the Pens. I just want a couple wins, would be a success. So much fire power on that team.
