Post-Game Talk: EC Round 1: New York Rangers (M3) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (M2) (PIT leads 1-0)

[rdhstlr23]

Pens in 5. We've got very little chance.

 

[hawthorne*]

The voodoo penguin is in force.

Calling Sidney "Cindy" is such a tired insult

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Is it confirmed McD will not be ready to go in game 1?

[Oscar Lindberg]

This series will be something. Lundqvist is going to have to be on his game, or I could see the Rangers getting smoked.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Playing with the house's money for me. Pens win in 6. LGR

Well
Its old
and it smells bad
It was made with malice
and hate
and I love it just the way it is

 

[Jabroni]

Going to be a tough one, but hoping for the best. Rangers in 7.

I think Henrik will be on his game and we will still get smoked. Best chance we had was to get FLA in round 1 and hope for someone else to take care of WAS and PIT, because we aren't going to do it 3 years straight.

Murphy's Law.

 

[RangerBlues]

YES!
I approve of this.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Pens in 5, the end of what could have been an era. At least I will save a lot of money on playoff tickets this year

 

[SkjeiPls]

I'm going in pretty positive about this series.

I like how there really isn't any pressure on the Rangers unlike last year, and Pens uncertainty around their injuries makes this pretty favorable for us.

 

[yrrebbor]

Rangers in 6, Panthers in 6

 

[Inferno]

Ive got Pens in the sweep...im not sure I can see us winning more than 1 game in this series...not without McDonagh at 100% (if he plays at all).

Our defense is a disaster...they are going to rip it to shreds.

 

[Ail]

Picked Pitt in 5, but could go 6.

Either way, yipee ki yay mother *******. LGR!

 

[darko]

Rangers in 6.

 

[eco's bones]

Series could go either way. Personally I don't think the Pens are that good but I don't think we're as good as we were the last couple years.

Anyway the Islanders really didn't want to play them. Two very lackluster efforts the last couple days and Capuano seemed happy playing his JV team as much as possible.

 

[GordonGecko]

We got this, Rangers in 6

Too bad we won't get to face the Islanders after Florida sweeps them

 

[Placid]

I was about to say something about an ugly first opponent... but in the playoffs, all opponents are ugly, and you have to get past them all in any case...

Crossing fingers for the Rangers in 6.

 

[McD27]

Why don't they release the schedule already. It's not lke they didnt know who the 16 teams gonna be

Well, they gotta figure out scheduling for 8 7 games series. Thats 56 games that they need to figure out arena availability + tv scheduling etc.

8 pm est Wednesday on USA

Nice.

 

[ponytrekker]

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

Have to jump on whoever is in goal. If we let their goalie get hot we are done like dinner.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

We can take this in 6.



Clean slate.
