Great win. The kids are stepping up....imagine that! Back to the shit hole that is pittsburgh. Need Shesterkin to stand on his head maybe. One game at a time.
Wasn't that big of a hit. It's not like Trouba got him all squared up and nailed him. Surprised he got hurt to be honest.
I think he got him pretty good. Not a crush, or a yeah I see how he got hurt, but that was a pretty big hit IMO.
I'll give them credit again in that this team doesn't give up. Gave themselves a shot to make this really interesting.
Subban was a disgrace as expected, but their broadcasts remind me of the old NHL2night/sportscenter days with Buccigross and Levy.
Now we have to play one solid game in Pittsburgh. Lindgren being back is a huge help with that I think. Not confident given what we saw there, but we know they are capable. One solid road game...
Have to stick with the 7 D and 11 forwards. As bad as it is to say but the Rangers are probably better without a fully formed 4th line considering the players available.
Zibanejad has been garbage in the playoffs for the most part of his ranger career. Kreider used to be good in the playoffs. Not sure what happened there. Good sign the kids showed passion, unlike some vets who just float around and act privileged.
Zibanejad seems to getting a ton of attention in the offensive zone, he has way less space to make plays than what he saw in the regular season. But thats to be expected in playoffs. Playing against the best of the best you can't count on your opponent to lose track of you. He needs to work way harder to put himself in scoring position.
Basically if Crosby didn't leave the game this series most likely is over. At least they didn't lose on their home ice.
