Looking for the rangers to get off early and often and finally take advantage of the pens power plays. See rangers 4-1 taking a commanding 3-1 lead.
4th line needs to come out hitting like last game. Maybe a scrap of someone bumps Lundqvist. Can't let those pussies think they can take liberties
I feel like one of these teams are gonna break out and win big tonight and I'm hoping its us. Pens are gonna come out HARD and FLYING because if they lose tonight, series is over. Gotta be ready immediately for them flying. Handle them for the first ten minutes, score a goal (or several) quick and early, and keep on pushing and don't let off the gas until the final buzzer. No defensive shell, no dumping the puck and then just changing with no one forechecking them. Keep pressure on those average dmen all night and win big boys!!!
Get through the first 7-10 minutes or so on level playing field and we'll be in good shape (same thing I said before game 3). Withstand that early wave and go from there. If we score 1st that will be very big tonight.
Exactly what we needed to avoid. Hornqvist bumps Hank in the crease and nothing. Hope Rangers take note and realize now they need to bump Fluery. If refs are gonna let bumps go, then let them go both ways.
Solid start.... Pitt put the puck on net and gets the dirty goal. That is playoff hockey. We go on the PP and don't get a sniff.
Slow motion Rangers are back. Pierre just called Arneil the "architect" of the PP. If something fails this miserably is he an architect or a destroyer?
I don't think it's a penalty when Hornqvist bumped Hank, but that's one of those close calls that could've been interfering with his chance to make a save. Is what it is. Now we need to settle in and play like we should. Stop playing scared and afraid. Be aggressive. We got punched in the mouth early, now we need to respond.
It is not a penalty. That was 100% a legit goal. We ALL need to stop complaining about the refs. It's like a broken record in here. We have twice as many PP's in the series. How about this team actually plays a game with some passion and desire when we lead in a series. Fu*k...
Once again no killer instinct on this team. Opportunity to go up 3-1 and they look horrific. Not surprised at all eh Chuck
AV has to get them motivated. They look slow and disinterested so far, which I know they aren't, but they need to wake up out there. The big play against us so far was that bad pass by Hayes to Yandle before the Pens goal on a 3 on 2.
I don't know why this team has trouble playing with a series lead. They should be able to come out playing for their playoff lives, no matter who has the series lead.
I said it's not a penalty. Simply said that we've all seen that called for interfering with the chance to make a save is all, which is why I moved on and say it is what it is. Good for Kreider. The only player on our team with the balls to crash Fluery and give him a little bump and let Pitt know we can bump and crash your goalie too.
