GDT: ECQF Game 3 - New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins - 7pm EST - MSG, TNT - Series (Tied 1-1)

[will1066]

If the Rangers can somehow find a way to suppress Crosby/Guentzel without expending too much from other areas, they will handily win the series.

But...that's a tall order.

Or, a tall task, as Canadian Ray Ferraro butchers the idiom.

 

[Guyute]

Let's Go Rangers.

I'm expecting a solid defensive effort for the first time this series.

 

[mrmovies779]

Real simple tonight-get pucks deep and hammer their d every time they touch the puck..no fancy east-west passing tonight, north-south with your feet and the puck

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Refs gonna give the pens all the PP’s after they did what they needed to do to “even” up at the end of last game.

 

[Scott r]

A team with the BEST goalie in the league vs a third string and only a slight edge??
Ridiculous
If we lose it will be embarrassing and heads should roll

Well I'm basing this on the probability on five thirty eight and the series line by bookies. It's legal to bet online in ny and online and live in nj..Meadowlands. I'm all for making money...but minus 135 on nyr series line isn't really am edge..

When you're playing a 3rd stringer it doesn't need to be a perfect play- there will be opportunities to score cleanly from mid range. Don't over-pass here

You might be correct...but the odds makers have nyr very small fans in the series...very small. On fact as of 14tpm Saturday tb and nyr are the same odds to win cup...tampa@is down 2 x games to 1

People who think this is going to be easy because they have a 3rd string goalie in net should probably think again. The guy did not play poorly at all last game. The Pens are good, are playing at home, and will always get the benefit of the officiating. The Rangers need to play better defensively and withstand the first 10 minutes.

Panarin natural hat-trick in the 1st ;-)

 

[Ginger Papa]

Don't play too cute. Move the pack to the net and good things will happen. We got this!

Ok all of a sudden this guy should command respect because he came in cold after all of our guys were totally gassed after 100 minutes of hockey? And he lets up 5 in his first actual game.

Dude blows, hope we destroy him and really shatter him tonight. Then, possibly play one of their partially hurt guys who also are not great goalies.

I like our chances. Let's. Go.

Have to watch the game on TNT broadcast. Anybody know what channel the beginning of the game will push to if the Avs/Preds game runs long?

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Rangers should be up 2-0 in this series. Play the way they have been and we take it in five or six. They need to tighten up on that bitch line and then we got this in the bag.

 

[Riche16]

Just keep BANGING bodies. You have to think they have guys playing hurt on that back end. Of course we probably have some guys banged up, but Reaves really has put a hurting on their D. Marino got pasted into the boards like a new Ad in game 1 multiple times. He wasn’t the only one. Keep hitting Malkin, he is so easy to frustrate and get him off his game

I agree with the caveat that they maintain structure.

I loved the 1st period of game 1... but that was because it was like the scene in Slap Shot when the Hansen's initially took the ice...

"ok boys... show us what you've got"

Play like that but w out recklessly or haphazardly chasing.

 

[Chytilmania]

Penguins not on the Crosby line have one goal in almost 3 games worth of hockey if you include all the overtime in game 1.

How about 3 goals in 6 games of hockey?

This is so stupid

 

[DudMan28]

If Lindgren is in I wouldn’t mind seeing him with Schneider. I thought Braun held his own on the top pair and it would really help our 3rd line not be a total dumpster fire.

Disagree. If Lindgren is healthy enough to play he should be playing with Fox like he has been the last couple years. Braun was ok at best, he got shitted on by Crosby however on that goal, I don't trust him long term on the top pair position.

I mentioned before that he had a 2.41 GA and .924 save % in the AHL. He's not some high school scrub like some are making him out to be. He faced 40 shots and 3 of the goals allowed were deflections and one went off his Dman's skate. Do we have a huge advantage in net? Sure do, but this guy is better than some backups in this league like a guy on the Rangers.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Just win.

I begrudgingly acknowledge this.

Play our game tonight. No distractions. Bring it. LETS f***ING GO RANGERS!!!!!!

 

[ArPanet]

Good time for the classic “good road game”

 

[Machinehead]

Why do we have to be the f***ing night game?
