Pre-Game Talk: New York Rangers(1) vs Pittsburgh Penguins(8) Division Semis Talk (read post 293)

They're 25th in the NHL in PP Scoring Chances/60.

Yeah that's ugly lmao

My eye test works!

They just pass it back and forth until someone inevitably fumbles it and it's cleared.

The PP is only used at this point to give Lundqvist a break for 2 minutes.

Can't of OP but i thought this would be the best thread to try to find an answer. Does anyone remember the game where Sam called the goal and got REALLY hyped up for it? I figure it was a big game or a comeback goal or something but i can't seem to find it. I feel like it was recent aswell and not a game way back like minnesota. Anyone have a clue what i'm rambling about here?

Think it was the McD goal against the Isles. Tied it 3-3 at the time.

He squeaked like a 12 year old boy.

 

[Inferno]

Minnesota come back too.

 

[poeman]

Wait guys, how long is Klein expected to be out now?

 

[Whitehawk1186]

My guess is he'll be back for at least Game 3

I am sure its a stomach flu, hopefully a 24 hours and he's good. I had it last week, only lasted a day or two.

“@rangersreport: No word whether Nash will play in Game 1. Imagine AV will have an update around 1:30.”

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Send him out there against Crosby as Typhoid Mary.

He will play, it could just be BS and they are allowing him another day to rest.

Another day of rest? He's had about a week of rest already. I find that far less likely than him actually having the flu. Players don't need rest the final few days before a series starts unless they have just gone 6 or 7 games. They can't be off the ice for too long or they'll get out of sync. These last few days are usually used to prepare the body and mind into game shape.

either way, I dont think there should be concern over if he will play tomorrow.

Hoping that's the case!

I had the same thing as nev about 2 weeks ago. Didn't want to leave the couch for 24 hours then felt fine the next day, other than a slight lack of appetite. I would imagine this is what Nash has.

He saw how much people are expecting him to score and he's already s******* himself

 

[Whitehawk1186]

The fact that Sheppard is skating with Brass and Zuc leads me to believe he will play tomorrow. I imagine they would juggle the lines around if they didn't think he was playing.

We beat the caps in an intense game with Sheppard playing there...

Could it be Kreider's goal as he ended up in the net against the Jets to give NYR a 3-2 lead in the third? He seemed to call that goal a lot louder than he typically does.

I'm also thinking maybe Klein's goal late in the third in that wild 6-5 win over the Islanders?

It's the middle of April. Not exactly Flu season.

Somtimes in Hockey hidden verbage, Flu means concussion.

 

[Roo Returns]

He has an infant. Remember when Nylander's kids got him sick during the Buffalo series in 2007? He was pretty ineffective most of the early games.

He skated yesterday. Hope he's good to go.

 

[park rangers]

I'm just now getting over stomach flu. It's been 5-6 days and apparently there's a strain going around as other people have the same thing. I'm in North Jersey and know quite a few others who have the same flu.

Hopefully it hasn't made its way across the river.

Send him out there to cough on Crosby...
