[CrosbytoKessel]

Guys give MJ some credit, that's the best playoff game I've seen in a while. We can do this. #LGP

 

[Mordax]

Wooooooo!!!

 

[Malkin112*]

+++ Sutter, Crosby, Kunitz, Fleury
++ Lapierre, Hörnqvist

---Scuderi, Malkin

 

[Pete Gas]

Now they are gonna announce that the Oilers accidentally traded their 1st rd pick to the Pens in the Perron trade so the Pens are gonna get Mcdavid

 

[Ogrezilla]

legitimately good win. Go Pens.

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

STAY HUNGRY.

Please. I beg you.

 

[specialized]

Good game, why did Malkin pass when there is a open net in front of him

 

[AgentM]

Good team effort but gotta give credit to Kunitz, his best game since november

 

[billybudd]

And my pens series playoff prediction streak ends at 2.

Keep proving me wrong guys. Keep proving me wrong.

Did Sid pass up an empty net HT to try and pass it to Geno or was Lundqvist still in the net?

 

[bigkam]

Totally encouraged by the minutes the younger D got late in the game. Shows the coaching staff are finally willing to make some tough decisions.

Crosby going, Kunitz showing maybe he has a little left, and Fleury playing well. If we can just get Geno firing better, this could be a long series.

 

[philchaka]

MJ has been brutal for stretches this year but he coached a hell of a game tonight.

 

[Mordax]

Good game, why did Malkin pass when there is a open net in front of him

He's just the self-less... or stupid. I'm hoping the former

 

[nhindian]

+ for Kunitz, Sutter , MAF, Sid, Chorney, Dumo, Cole
- Malkin

 

[PensFanSince1989]

Did Sid pass up an empty net HT to try and pass it to Geno or was Lundqvist still in the net?

It was an empty net.

 

[66-30-33]

Rangers have never won a game 2 on home ice since 1994.

+MJ

Rangers breakout looked like Dan's did against Boston most of the night.

 

[Asuna]

- Scuderi had 22 TOI...Cole had 19

 

[radapex]

MJ has been brutal for stretches this year but he coached a hell of a game tonight.

He said the think they found a key to beating the Rangers... maybe they have? But, first, a little more discipline would be nice.

 

[M0NTY26]

We looked like coal heading into the playoffs. As the games gone on and the pressure has mounted, we are starting to shine like diamonds. I dig it. LGP!

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If I'm gonna nitpick, and you know I am, I want someone to get in Geno's face and chew him out for passing up so many shots. I noticed 4 or 5 clear, golden opportunities to shoot tonight that he passed on, before he biffed the EN.

****ing great win though. Sid, Lapierre, and Kunitz (lord help me) get my 3 stars.
