Pre-Game Talk: Rangers v. Pens - Home and Home Part Deux

[silverfish]

Had a dream that I turned on the game late, and with 13:23 to go in the first the score was 6-6

I don't know what's more unlikely, the Rangers scoring six again, or Lundqvist giving up six goals.

Possibilities we see Vokoun tonight?

I'm not sure we will ever see Fleury again!

 

[Jabroni]

If we can win tonight, It'll inject a lot of confidence into the team.

 

[Kakko]

Winning both these games would say a lot.

That said, I'm not Super confident

 

[Riche16]

This one goes to OT

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

This one goes to OT

Guaranteed three points in two games vs the Pens? I'll take it.

 

[Placid]

Well.. realistically, one would have to say that the Rangers had an absolute top notch night (over-performing really), while the Pens were the exact opposite.

So while i am sure the Pens will be coming out looking for some payback, our hopes will have to rest on that the momentum from last game keeps the boys playing hard (and well).

Should be a very exciting match

 

[Fitzy]

Forget people. hunting Penguins after a bad loss is by far the most dangerous game.

Like a Pens-fan said on Nhl.com that he was worried about their defensemen. 3 of their 4 best defensemen are out. Letang and Martin also make alot of assists. Their defense and goalies showed weakness (low selfconfidence) last time and will do it again tonight. And since Crosby is lso out I cannot see Rangers losing this one.

The whole Pens-team are not close to the same team that dominated just a few days ago

Pens - NYR 2-7

Nash 3 goals

all of a sudden we are a goal scoring machine?

 

[Will Hunting]

You guys catched us in the right moment (for you). I was extremelly impressed with NYR´s play last game, but this is not the same team we used to be. Crosby, Martin and Letang are arguably our 3 best players this season and we are looking just lost without them. We were also probably a bit tired/lacking motivation. That said, I hope for a hard-fought game tonight. Better effort definitely gonna be there tonight by the Pens as last game was complete embarassment and they don´t want it to repeat.

Our playoffs matchup is also quite a possibility, I really don´t doubt about your team being in the playoffs. Gonna be a good one tonight!

Harlem Globetrotters of the NHL...

 

[The Gloaming]

I think that the final score will be 2-0. Who wins? I don't know.

 

[KenGuru]

Yes, 10 goals in last 2 games. What do you think ? Incredible what selfconfidance will do to the new guys too.

But if Pens have had all their players available I would not been very positive

Vokun and Fleury are also struggling. If they were in good form I would only had hoped for 3-4 goals

 

[Vinny]

Funny how quick things change in people's mind, outside the canadiens, I fear the Pens the most of all teams in the NHL. Why did we win all of a sudden after being owned game after game is a riddle to me, maybe the new players? But I am not into the believe the Rangers could win another one vs this beast of a team that I hate so much. It seems the Pens have our number and maybe it has to do with the players they lost that we have a small chance maybe?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

all of a sudden we are a goal scoring machine?

10 goals in 2 games... Why not?

 

[The Beezer]

If we should win again tonight (reguardless of score), I'm definitely going to be drinking the juice again that we are a legitimate Stanley Cup team.

I know, I'm setting myself up for a colassal letdown.

 

[Doctyl]

8-1 otl

I would argue Kunitz and Dupuis are both better this year than Martin and since Letang has been in and out of the lineup; him too.

 

[Shrimper]

Let us have this one please

[HatTrick Swayze]

Forget people. hunting Penguins after a bad loss is by far the most dangerous game.

Especially on their home turf.

Tough game.

 

[Parker]

It'll be interesting to see how this one goes.. Wednesday night was one of the best regular season games in recent memory. Hope they can keep up the momentum tonight but given the overall track record against the Pens lately I wouldn't be surprised to see it go the other way either.

 

[Kakko]

Let us have this one please

We'll give you a point

Actually, never mind. We need to keep scoring goals to stop that emberrasment, and Hank needs more Vezinas
So... Score a lot, and don't get scored on

 

[Trou Trou Train]

Hoping for a Rangers victory tonight obviously but I'm going to refrain from the score guessing game tonight. Let's go Rangers. Play like we did Wednesday night and I'll have a really good feeling about this game.
