NFT: New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins, Game 5, 7pm

arcarsenal : 4/24/2015 8:41 am
Tonight we can punch our ticket to the Conference Semi-Finals in a cool 5 games if we're able to take care of business. I think we've seen about the best we're going to get from the Pens in this series. Between injuries and lack of depth, they're just not very good. Crosby is still good enough to do the damage on his own as he did in Game 2 but fuck that shit.

Major opportunity to get out of a first round in less than 7 games here, which is something we've not done since Renney was behind the bench and we disposed of LOLDevils in 5 back in 2008.

Klein is 50/50 to go tonight per AV. Sounds like it's basically Klein's call at this point.

No bullshit. Start fast, score first and have them with one foot on the golf courses nice and early.

Nobody outside of maybe MSL is playing poorly. Few guys playing below potential (Zucc prior to the injury today), but no one is dragging the team down.
Even MSL isn't really playing poorly  
Wuphat : 4/24/2015 10:47 pm : link
Just not doing anything distinctly positive.

Agree there's no anchor, though
Yandle  
Bones : 4/24/2015 10:48 pm : link
Is not playing well. Looks like a real bad trade right now.
....  
BrettNYG10 : 4/24/2015 10:49 pm : link
I agree - and he's played much better the past two games.

Completely disagree

Yandle has been solid and the stuff he put on Crosby the other night was a thing of beauty.
Later Crosby..  
djm : 4/24/2015 10:51 pm : link
You fucking twat!

Movin on! Great series win.
Yandle has been fine  
djm : 4/24/2015 10:52 pm : link
Great passer and hasn't done anything stupid in a while
What stuff  
Bones : 4/24/2015 10:54 pm : link
Is that. He's soft. He hasn't hit on one of his many 40 foot passes yet causing multiple icings. He and MSL definitely are weak links, though every 5th play or so MSL makes a play.

Ottawa isn't gone yet. Let them all go 7 games



There's no reseeding anymore, so the Rangers play the winner of the Caps/Islander series.


Ty - too often i just look at the conference standings.
At any rate  
Bones : 4/24/2015 10:57 pm : link
GO RANGERS! WE can hopefully repackage Yandle to another team this off season.
Interesting that AV had to mix and match lines with Zucc out ...  
baadbill : 4/24/2015 10:59 pm : link
except for the kid line ... it stayed intact the entire time and didn't substitute anyone onto that line even once that I can recall

They are all playing well. Boyle is a little weak handling the puck, but his d is ok. Four solid lines and 3 solid defense pairings.

Who sits when Klein comes back - Hunwick?
Fuckin' right, boys.

Never easy but this is just how we roll.

Onto round 2....
Congrats! Was a tight series

AV says he heard Zucc was alright, but apparently team doctors still evaluating him.

What'd I miss?





Congrats, fellas. Well-deserved win. Aside from one little hiccup where the Yinz just crashed the net, we kept Sindy and Malkin at bay for the whole game. Gotta give it to the Yinz though. They took us to the limit despite being undermanned. MAF was fantastic the whole series and it certainly wasn't his fault that they lost.

Way to be clutch, Hags. Rest up, get well soon, Zuccs and Klein and let's keep some ass in a few days.

hell yeah man, it was insane!

I don't know if we're friends on facebook or not (Corey Zwerling), im friends with a ton of BBIers but have no idea who is who. I put up one pic so far from the game, gonna prob put more up later on.
thats awesome man  
MookGiants : 4/25/2015 12:14 pm : link
happy for you, you deserve it. Great win
So if history is any indication  
MetsAreBack : 4/25/2015 12:47 pm : link
Game 1 should be Thursday night at MSG (the late game will be in Anaheim... the league has the Central and Atlantic wrapping up its first round on Wednesday night).

Hopefully enough time to get Klein and Zuccs back, and everybody else who's sore at the moment some much needed rest.

I'm indifferent on who we play - each present challenges and opportunities. My concern with Washington is their heavy hitting wearing us down later in a series + their postseason experience... versus the Islanders would be a media zoo, extra intensity, plus a little more talent on their roster than WAS.

We 'should' advance past either but its the playoffs... nothing's easy and it usually comes down to a few inches.

Enjoying these ~6 days off!!
Looking at those pictures  
Kyle in NY : 4/25/2015 1:08 pm : link
what a great subtle play that was by Stepan on the first goal. Figure most players just try to jam the puck in on his backhand but he kicks it to his forehand for the open net. Awesome.
LOL..

Was Winnik NOT on the ice for any of the goals we scored in this series?

Ugh. And to think we could've signed him and he would've been cheaper than Tanner Glass. That's why I was saying all offseason we should sign Winnik.

Anak, Winnik was awful. That's what arc is saying. He was a -6 in the series and we only scored 8 even strength goals. That's pretty hard to do. So yeah, good signing suggestion?

I know, I was being sarcastic. I was echoing what we were saying in the offseason. I was one of them. I did want Winnik over Glass.

djm, i seem to remember him having at least 3/4 BAD give aways because of panicked passing in EACH if the last two.

I want him to do well, but he looks overwhelmed to me. He looked much better earlier in the series. But i am literally nervous whenever he is on the ice
I thought Yandle in this series  
bigbluehoya : 4/25/2015 4:11 pm : link
Played far and away the best defensive hockey we have seen from him yet.
Yandle played fine  
Coach Mason : 4/25/2015 4:13 pm : link
and likely is still fully adjusting to his new team and new system.

He makes some of the best crisp, on the tape passes I have seen from a Ranger Dman in quite a while.
I loved how JT Miller played in the series.  
yatqb : 4/25/2015 5:28 pm : link
He's really coming into his own. Physical, quick and powerful wrist shot, good defensive decisions.

Him, Hayes, Kreider, Hags, Zucc, Fast, Brassard, Stepan, some of our guys in juniors and the mimors, and our deep defensive corps really set us up for long term competitiveness.

Islanders and Capitals tied at 1-1. Good. Hopefully this game goes to 17 OTs.

Too easy. Whatever. Who gives a fuck? Game 7 with these two fucks. Let them beat the piss out of each other.
Was there even the slightest doubt  
MetsAreBack : 4/25/2015 6:29 pm : link
going into that series that Isles-Caps was going the full 7?

I'm just a little disappointed there hasnt been more overtime in that one.
