Why is that we are going to probably lose again on saturday. If the Penguins actually show up next time they can beat this team.
It happens to every team in every sport though. It's not like they were in the locker room today and agreed to all play like crap and not care tonight.

Well, how can YOU say that the Pens can and will beat the Rangers???
If the Rangers play the same exact game that they did tonight, just like the Flyers always do and the Jets just did, NY wins again, plain and simple. Pens have no answers for teams that play like that.
Those teams punch the Pens in the mouth from the drop of the puck, camp out in Sid and Geno's face and then proceed to keep punching them in the face over and over and over again. Pens get driven back on their heels from the first minute and have no idea on how to flip the script. Then we see Sid and Geno get frustrated, start making bad passes, trying to skate through the entire team, etc, etc, etc.
If the Rangers play the exact same game, they win.
Our team won a cup in the past ten years and just came off a seven game winning streak. **** happens.
Not that it matters with you, but I have not seen single Ranger being overly physical or agitating today.

Sometimes you need these games. Broke the PK streak, now its time to start a new one. Got outworked so everyone remembers to work harder, and a D pairing got exposed which keeps things competitive in the D. Forget about the result, focus on those things and come out flying next game.
They sent Glass after Despres to send him a message after he put a hard hit on Girardi.
Protecting your stars, that's what this team needs.
This team needs Tanner Glass.
Ah, because momentum and confidence count for so much in hockey. Rangers are going to come in with confidence and a determination to underline their earlier victory more or less. This is a terrible way to kick of a season series.
I will of course be absolutely thrilled if the Pens come out with a statement game on Sat, and will credit the coaching and team leadership if they do ...
I agree it wasn't that physical of a game. A few hits here and there but nothing like Winnipeg. It was just a bad night all around. If the Pens are on their game I don't see the Rangers beating them.

Yeah, but that Cup doesn't really count. It makes it seem like this franchise has ever accomplished anything good. As far as I'm concerned it's still 1975 and the team is probably deliberately throwing a playoff series in which they lead 3-0 because they're scared of the Flyers.
I hope they trade Hornqvist for Glass. Throw in Pouliot.
A heart-and-soul grinder on a sweetheart contract doesn't come cheap. Penguins might have to add.
