Every player in all positions was outplayed in every facet of the game. Embarrassing. Better be ready for game 3

Nobody was injured, so that's a good thing. Lucky that Yandle was okay to come back.
Regroup and come back harder.

It was on his stick with no one around him and he failed to clear. Doesn't matter if it was even strength, short handed or whatever.

When Megusta is mad you know **** has hit the fan. I love it, emotions
Hopefully the players feel the same way we do.
LOL, my robot parts have not arrived yet.

I'm so glad that the peanut gallery is back to complain after the team absolutely ravaged the regular season.
And LOL at Fleury and his 3 GA apparently outplaying Hank and his 4 GA. Maybe if the Rangers ****ing PK stopped the Pens (or if the ****ing PP scored more than once) then the 4 GA Hank would've outplayed the 5 GA Fleury.

We took penalties at the worst times. If we stayed out of the box, we would've won this one.
Literally that's all we have to do to win the series.

A couple of things about this game that bugged me.
Obviously special teams. Would be a completely different game if they kill 1 penalty, and score 1 more PP goal. That needs to change.
Also, I know I will get crap for this but every time it seemed like the Rangers started getting some momentum there was a phantom or soft call against them. The Hagelin "trip" the Hayes hook was incredibly weak, and I thought the Kreider trip was as well for two reasons. One, NHL players shouldn't be going down every time they feel a stick at their legs. It is terrible. Two, MSL was tripped pretty badly behind the net seconds before. It is the playoffs, refs need to step up their game just as much as the players do.
Finally the NBC broadcast. I know a lot of people say the rangers didn't do anything worth mentioning but for those of you who had MSG in game 1 it was the same thing. The entire broadcast in game 1 talked about what the pens needed to do to turn the game around. I didn't hear that once about the Rangers tonight. It's pathetic. The Nothing But Crosby network in full force.
Personally, I think a stinker like this was good for the Rangers, hopefully it will be a wake up call for them.

No really. This is the most Rangers-like game I have ever seen. Let's recap:
Lose game 2 at home
Score first
Fail to convert on numerous powerplays
Failed clear by Girardi leads to goal against
Horrendous second period
Nash blue line muffin
Kreider idiotic penalty
Brassard in playoff mode
The team gives us false hope early in the 3rd period
The team with the higher Corsi loses
NBC with horrible and biased coverage
Rick Nash garbage time goal
Really, I salute you, NY Rangers. You guys managed to get all of the Rangers typical things into one game. The only thing missing was a rookie scoring his first goal. 10/10 on everything else. Bravo.

Pavel Buchnevich
Drury and Laviolette Must Go
And Dan Boyle apparently leads the NHL in career corsi. Guess what? Corsi doesn't matter. Real hockey matters. I didn't notice him until the missed shot with a few minutes to go and then the goal with a few seconds left.
Nash just hasn't been good so far. Lets not sugar coat it for him. He's playing like the Nash we usually see in the playoffs

Because the two PPs they scored on were two of the worst calls the entire season! You got one entirely phantom trip, and then you have Hayes barely brush the guy's shoulder and it's a hooking call.

Folks can say what they want but this doesn't look like a team "barking" for anything.
They have strolled through 2 games. IMO lucky to win game 1. Embarrassed in game 2 (cliche Nash garbage time goal aside).
They have not played like a team that can win. They're a .500 team that has played lucky .500 hockey.

Don't forget the ex-Ranger scoring, but I don't think that applies this game.
Are there any ex-Rangers on the Pens?

I really wish Sheppard would play. He makes some good plays down low and it's not like he is a shrinking violet either.
NYR road record: 28-11-2
PIT home record: 23-14-4
We still have the advantage. Not only are we better on the road than pittsburgh is at home, we're better on the road than we are at home.
We got this.
