ALL the pressure on Pittsburgh.

Lets Goooooo

Rangers have to expose their defense. If Maata is out still they aren't very good on the backend sans Letang.

 

[Mr Clutch]

Bring em on. Who cares if their hot. Doubt they wanna play us either. This group has a lot of experience

 

[Revel]

Bring 'em on. LGR!

They have been embarrassed two years in a row. Even worse back in 2014. Lot of young players with inexperience on their team. Depleted defense, and a third string goalie. Ton of pressure on them especially with how well they have played recently.

 

[Holocene]

I don't even know how to feel this year.

 

[RangerBlues]

Beat those Penguins!

 

[Irishguy42]

Lets go for the post-season hat trick!

I don't even know how to feel this year.

We'll see what happens with Pittsburgh's goaltending situation...

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Really think the Rangers are decent underdogs here. Gut says Pens in 6.
And beating Pens and Caps again has gotta be loooooooooong odds.

Missing out on #1 WC was a huge blow statistically.

 

[McD27]

We can do it! LGR!

 

[McD27]

I imagine we would start Wednesday

 

[Nanaki]

Pens in 6.

 

[silverfish]

Best time of the year.

LGR

 

[94wasagoodyear]

We will be underdogs...which may be a good thing for this team.

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Their hot now but also played like complete **** for stretches during the season. Would have been nice to play Florida but whatever we have had playoff success recently against the Penguins, as bad as Girardi has been of late he knows this team and has played very well throughout his career against Crosby. What's Flowers deal he had a concussion still symptoms or is he good to go?

 

[hawthorne*]

The Pens are better this year. MUCH better than last year. I didn't fear them at all then, but they've looked amazing lately. And the fact that we'll be without McDonagh? Oy vey. Nevertheless, LGR.

 

[Cassano]

At least this Pens team is somewhat exciting to watch.

Should be a fun series.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Fear the turtle...pluck the Pens...again LGR

Fleury may be playing.

The embarrassment will probably make them play even better. I doubt they feel more pressure than the Rangers, they did win a cup recently, have a ton of young talent, and meanwhile the Rangers are in win now mode.
