Look on the bright side we could have been murdered like the Pens but at least they can take a blow out after back to back Cups, wonder if we can get just 1 some day

Pitt down 4-0 halfway through the 1st
- 21peter

In Hawks 10-1 win:
Pit: Niemi: 4 GA (13 SOG in first 9:16), Murray: 6 GA (31 SOG in 50:44)
Every Penguin had a minus game rating:
Crosby, Schultz, & Dumoulin (-4) Each, and Letang, Maata, & Sheary (-5) Each

In only catching the game highlights of Wednesday's night loss to the Blues, Murray appeared to look closer to his actual body size off the ice while in the net. Maybe his new reduced size fitted goalie pants used as per their new restrictions, plus even more so, a smaller appearing in size & design, chest/arm protector, is somewhat a factor for his 11 GA in about 112 minutes of play. That, even if the latter hasn't seen as much in new regulations attached to them yet like the pants.

Excluding all other factors, having the first 10 games of 13 at home may be the key to determine our chances of just reaching this postseason. It played out that way last season where a slower start of any kind would have buried us, after later playing about only .500% winning hockey for the final 3 or 4 months. Even a team like Tampa after playing behind the eight ball for all of last season, could not recover in time just to qualify for the postseason.

well, at least we had great Corsi

pretty much dominated after falling behind 2-0, just an irritating game, powerplay looks great though

Also, They didn't play absolute terrible... You can't go by how Colorado was last season and think they would still be bad. 1 Game, Not worried yet.

The only thing that worries me is if Chytil doesn't stick, they are kind of screwed at center

Rangers had a lot of shots but Varlamov saw all of them. Need to be better with putting bodies in front of the goalie.

Zibinajed was best player on the ice last night, even better than the great Duchene

he was 18-6 on faceoffs, two goals, should have had another one late in the game, 8 shots on net. Looks like #1 center material to me.

1st game .. one game ..not happy with outcome But not throwing the baby
out with the dirty bathwater .. cmon ... some of these so called fans do not come to praise NYR hockey but to bury NYR hockey... hearing alot of shovels moving the dirt already..easy going there !!! need i say more
Disturbing ...HANK got out played
MAc -3 ...mac & kirk not the dynamic duo ...YET
D looked kinda loose ,maybe pressing for tie opens up stuff
Chytl... get your beak wet & go work your ass off ..gonna be a player

We will see after the 1st 5-7 gms what we have under the hood so to speak


serious concerns with middle play ... Trade for Lindberg ?
Try Boo Nieves ?
I hope teams will evaluate like we are and open up rosters to trades ...
1 .Giroux to Mont?
2 NYR gets a center ...preferably a top 6 type

3 i see a lot of teams & players posturing NOW, lets see how this will unfold ...
gonna win next to against Canada teams ...

They didn't play poorly. Very frustrating game to watch. Hoping for better execution on Saturday.

I wish Chytil shot the puck early on that 2 on 1, that would have blown the roof off the place had he scored there

Rangers could conceivably start off 1-4 or 0-5 then the Devils come in, we know how that game would go

I think there is practically zero chance of that happening. Vegas would probably want an over payment anyway.

I'm not sure how they would acquire a top 6 type center in the immediate future and nobody would like the price.

That to me could have been an absolute game changer if it happened.
