Their board has spent 7 pages whining about it. It was a bad missed call but Lindgren getting a free blatant and late crosscheck on Rust's goal was as bad or worse.
Sometimes you lose games you "should" win.
Sometimes you win games you "should" lose.
All things considered, I prefer the latter.

ok who else here was wondering why the hell dumo was on the ice at the end of the game? he's garbo now. Puck goes into our corner during the play, dumo gets there first and of course the puck doesn't get out of the zone and a ranger gets posession.
we need to get Petry back. Also it's very obvious that Ruh is not as serviceable as he has been in previous years. He is 32 now, and perhaps he's age combined with the fact he was always a #7 is catching up

It was:
Jake-Side-Rust
Dumo-Letang
and my heart was racing the entire time. Thankfully they put Malkin out there eventually.

...and the Brawla Brawla Sewitt
Seeing the Rangers get away with that and then coming on here to see their fans whining about the Dumo trip is pretty pathetic. Refs miss stuff all the time, but when it is as blatant as these two plays, it's pretty bad.Lindgren cross-checking Rust after he scored the PP goal just reminded me of when Orpik did that
Amazing what happens when the coach plays a player in a position that they usually thrive in. Rust on the PK has been a season turner for both Rust and the team.
Kappy should get the warrior helmet for this game simply for keeping Rust from embarrassing himself when he was going to go after the guy that cross checked him.

And why the hell was Rust, our worst defensive winger, subbed in for Rakell, arguably our best defensive winger? MS overcoaches all the damn time and it drives me nuts. I'm not sure if he's trying to look smart, or thinks it is smart to do this all the time.

Pair it with the BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos from Smokehouse in section 221. You won't be disappointed. I'm 3-0 on the season when I get the glorious nachos.
It's an odd notion. You don't "deserve" to win or lose. You get more points, you win. It's a game, not a trial.
Loving hockey these days!

Always nice to wake up to a win against the Rags.
Devils nose diving is enjoyable too.

Attending the game last night and seeing the whole ice, it was really apparent to me how much better the NYR defensemen looked in all facets of the game. It was like our defense looked AHL and theirs NHL All Star.
Sometimes the eye test fails you. I thought the Rags got the better of the play but the xGF was 57% for the Pens.

I can't stand it when we go in this protect the 1 goal lead, we look f***ing lost out there. Those last few minutes weren't very good, but whatever Jarry did the job! He was awesome, again!

I would say:
Down by 1, the Penguins pull their goalie, 6-on-5, Malkin at the point...yes there are trust issues.
Up by 1, the other team pulls their goalie, 6-on-5, Malkin can be trusted with the right linemates and dmen.

And with coach Dan Bylsma…
How did we survive as fans? We should have all died of severe indigestion/lack of hydration…

Yeah fair on both. Though I'd say I'd be fine having him out there down a goal just not on the point (have never liked him on the point really) and when defending the lead late it's a matter of having the right line configuration and dmen no matter who we're talking about.
I wouldn't have really trusted Malkin defensively out there last two seasons but I would based on how he's played this year.
He had three opportunities to clear the puck and didn't. One was a nice play by the NYR defense. But if everyone thinks he played great in a defensive role....that's what effort looks like.
Why don't we ever see that 5 on 5? That's where my criticism always begins.

If a season ticket holder posts and nobody reads it, does it make a sound?

I still prefer having Sid's line out there for now. For the 6th attacker, I totally agree with you, Geno at the point with Letang, Sid, Guentzel, Rackell, Rust as Forwards would be my 6
