Some of them could find their touch again....could...maybe...if's...buts..candies and nuts....those kinda things.

Nope, wouldn't bet against the Rangers in this one...Pens will need luck above all else to get out of this series....that might of ran dry in 2017....

I'd consider putting Carter on PP1 in the high slot. As RW said, his finishing and hands are still there, he just can't get to those scoring areas. It seems like one place he could succeed best.

I like the idea, but I'm not sure how to execute that. Do you take Rust off the LW half wall? Or do you take Jake from the net front and replace him with Carter? If Carter hits the high slot, who becomes the net front? Sid? Or do you have Geno on the LW half wall with Sid on the RW half wall? Geno on the LW halfwall is pretty awful to watch usually.

Keep rust on the pk to add some speed and give carter his pp spot.

Penguins win 6-2 tonight. They have been resting and prepping the last 3-4 weeks, they wanted this matchup and trusted the process by losing a lot of games to get it. 2 of the first 3 goals will go in off of a Rangers defenceman. Adam Fox is going to get hit, a lot, and he is going to disappear. Pens in 6 if not less.

Perhaps you should just stay with the rangers going forward.

The least excited I've ever been for a Pens game 1. I hope we can at least extend it to 6 games.

My expectations are pretty low after how the season ended. Maybe we'll be surprised.

After watching most of the games last night I just don't think the Pens have that level of compete left in them.

Agreed. No Jarry and a team that looked exhausted to end the year. Our only hope is that they call as many penalties in this series as they did last night. Someone forgot to tell the refs the playoffs started lol
