We did a great job getting to game 7. When I left that building after game 4...NO WAY did I think we'd see a game 7. Just an amazing effort to get there. With that said, it will not be an easy game to win. YES we have all the MO into that game for sure. BUT winning a game 7 on the road is very difficult. On top of that you have to figure Pitt is sitting on a huge emotional effort after these last two games. So they should come out flying. Teams that score first are 19-0 in the 2nd round, so I think the first goal is just huge. We get it and Pitt gets in their heads and starts to panic like we did games 3 & 4. If Pitt gets it they settle down and get their crowd rolling. Happy we are there, but we need to want more...we need to want it at all costs. Not going to be easy, but come ready to play and we'll see how it goes.
PIT has all the pressure on them. Blew a 3-1 lead and want to avoid the collapse. It's there for the taking.
No doubt the pressure is all on them for game 7...for sure. That is why the first goal is extra huge I think. If we force them to play from behind they could implode. That would be HUGE.
I didn't think we would see a game seven either but as a fan you always have hope until the fourth game is won. Make no mistake this is going to be a tough game for the Rangers to win but they can do it.
Yeah, if you were in that building game 4 you would have been in a bad way...LOL. Forgot to mention two Pens fans were sitting two seats away from me. One in a Lemieux jersey. One in a black and yellow Pens tee-shirt. And they were SO annoying. Talking Pens BS all game. They spent the last few minutes talking about which team they rather play next round...the Habs or Bruins. Wonder how they are feeling right now...LOL. Not easy to win as you said Mess. Going to be really difficult to win IMO. Need to play with a lead. Like the 7 PM start.
The Pens have gotten tighter and more frustrated in Gm 5 and 6, so yea, scoring 1st in PIT would be tremendous.
Not going to make some big statement that first goal wins for sure, but I do think it is VERY VERY large.
Yeah, Kreider has been large. I think we all thought he would be a big add, but can't complain about injuries. That being said, him being back is huge. Really sets our top 9 perfectly.
Is it crazy to play Carcillo in place of Nash? It is not like Nash is doing anything out there but kill an occasional penalty. LOL
Not a Ranger fan - but have to say, a lot of these guys are 4-0 in Game 7's the last 3 seasons, and I definitely would not bet against them in Game 7 of this series. Rangers are not the most talented team, but the core of guys who have been on this team the last 3 years have something in the ticker. No denying that.
Why would you change the game five and six lineup by swapping Carcillo for Nash? Not to mention it's as stupid as the suggestion to play Talbot which was been proven to be moronic.
It has not been proven, since Talbot never got a chance to play in game 5. I was never saying Hank was the issue. Kudos to Hank for playing great the last two games. Thats the hank we expect. Playing Talbot after game 4 was a suggestion to spark the team, since they looked like dead dogs after game 4. After game 4, you were shipping everyone out of town and now all of sudden, you have grown some balls again. Please.
