That’s assuming the Rangers don’t pass CAR.

Man if anything I’d be yelling at Angelo for letting up on a guy he could of really buried. Not much for the end of game scrums though. Either fight or walk away, Guentzel flapping the gums at the end of a game is hilarious. What the duck is he going to do.

Couple excerpts about the rangers game;

"We've played a lot of good teams," Letang said. "Bigger teams, more physical teams, and I thought we played well in all of those games. Every one of those games could have gone either way

Vatrano, who has 99 goals in 391 career NHL games, has gotten nine of those in 16 games against the Penguins.

Summary:. Bigger and more physical teams are a bad match up for the Pens. Also, Vatrano was a very good pickup for the rangers even though many on this board thought he was just another low impact guy...

Letang is right.

...and Vatrano is 5'11 and under 200 pounds....Sid is tiny bit bigger than him

I love Jake but he is a bit too yappy at times for my liking...

I'd rather them losing right now and have to scrape and claw back into the win column before playoffs than coasting into them. They should be pretty healthy in the games coming as well and 5 to 10 games for the returning guys is a good bit of game time to back in the swing of things. Much better than the Isles sweep year when 4 or 5 of them came back either in 2nd last game, last game or 1st game of playoffs.

No Crosby, Marino, Zucker and McGinn will take a toll on you. We just need to adjust to the type of game the Rags is doing against us. The Islanders always gave us trouble doing practically the same.

Being placed with kreider and zib is a good way to pad some stats. Kreider I would have to say is one of my fav players. I mean I hate the guy because he’s a ranger and always running over fleury in the past. But I do wish he was a pen. He’s the type you need to get in shesterkin or halaks face.

I would like some of the 30+ players to get a bit of rest though. Especially the 35+

Adjusting on the fly mid game isn’t as easy as it looks. Throughout a 7 game series is where you can really make your adjustments. Now if they’re watching tape and seeing trends on how they’re getting beat in those 6 losses in the last 8… that should be addressed in practice for sure. Last night I felt like there was a lack of forechecking from the team overall. Whether they’re worried about the quick breakout strikes from NYR or what; it should be a better option then falling back into a 1-4 NZ trap.


They gave them the stretch pass way too often last night.

On the fan they are talking about Igor's fake wave to the Pens bench after the game. Nothing like an overly confident goalie going into the playoffs...i believe we only have 4 goals in 4 games against the rags...i guess i would be overly confident too...
