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.

All those passes are nice  
Wuphat : 4/24/2015 7:39 pm : link

TF is with all this passing?  
nygmen84 : 4/24/2015 7:39 pm : link
Shoot the fucking puck. My god.
Nice fancy passing,  
section125 : 4/24/2015 7:40 pm : link

Great play by Miller again ... what a pass to Hags who had a wide  
baadbill : 4/24/2015 7:42 pm : link
open shot ... Rangers playing a very strong 1st period
Good Lord,  
section125 : 4/24/2015 7:43 pm : link
this looks like the NY Rangers. They are flying.
Finally getting pucks to the net on the PP  
Kyle in NY : 4/24/2015 7:43 pm : link
Looking good, get one more and see if they fold
I sit up with anticipation every time Stepan, Kreider & Miller  
baadbill : 4/24/2015 7:53 pm : link

A homegrown line too. Always makes it a bit more fun
Big penalty kill  
section125 : 4/24/2015 8:04 pm : link
to start the 2nd. Keep the Pens down.
Hope Zucc  
nygmen84 : 4/24/2015 8:05 pm : link
Is alright.
Zucc is done  
knicks3031 : 4/24/2015 8:11 pm : link

Zucc done for the game.  
nygmen84 : 4/24/2015 8:11 pm : link
Hope its precautionary and nothing serious.
MAF had a great save right there

Man, need that 2nd goal  
section125 : 4/24/2015 8:17 pm : link
soon to deflate the Pens.
Bet Zuc's at the dentist, unless it's a jaw.  
yatqb : 4/24/2015 8:17 pm : link
Yikes.

We're flying, but we need that 2nd goal!
Worrisome for Zucc  
Kyle in NY : 4/24/2015 8:19 pm : link
if it's from the puck that got him up high hope it's not anything concussion related
MAF is the only reason this game is still close  
nygmen84 : 4/24/2015 8:19 pm : link
But another goal would absolutely crush this Pittsburgh team.
Kunitz just Kreider'd Lundqvist.

I imagine it would have been waived off if he didn't. At least I'd hope so.

The PP looks a lot better tonight.
If they scored there  
Kyle in NY : 4/24/2015 8:34 pm : link
and it counted I would have lost my mind. Kunitz wasn't even touched and went right into Hank
MAF is on his head,  
section125 : 4/24/2015 8:34 pm : link
just wish they would shoot a little more. They get it deep and nobody is in front.
Fuck

Oh crap  
dpinzow : 4/24/2015 8:37 pm : link
They have to look at that one upstairs; could have been pushed in with the glove
I don't think it was off the glove  
Wuphat : 4/24/2015 8:37 pm : link
I think he chicken-winged it in with his elbow
Think that's a goal.

What a bullshit goal  
Kyle in NY : 4/24/2015 8:38 pm : link
This Pittsburgh team playing such ugly hockey and they get a garbage goal
Stupid icing.  
section125 : 4/24/2015 8:38 pm : link
Another unneeded long pass to nobody.
Looks like a good goal.  
yatqb : 4/24/2015 8:38 pm : link
We couldn't be playing better, and still it's tied. Keep skating, guys!
That was off his arm  
baadbill : 4/24/2015 8:38 pm : link
... Rangers need to keep the pressure up
FUCK  
nygmen84 : 4/24/2015 8:39 pm : link
You just knew with all our missed opportunities they were going to get a cheap one. Cant let teams hang around.
We are getting severely outplayed right now  
nygmen84 : 4/24/2015 8:41 pm : link
Need to get to the intermission.
Not much you can do about fluky garbage goals like that one.  
Wuphat : 4/24/2015 8:41 pm : link
Keep playing they way they have this game and they'll win this

Yeah you can, you can score more goals off a crappy, banged up defense. MAF has played well, but many of our shots have not been top quality, a lot of his saves have been on positioning. That is not something that should be lost in this.
Yes, you can score more goals  
Wuphat : 4/24/2015 8:47 pm : link
That has noting to do with preventing fluky goals.

*nothing  
Wuphat : 4/24/2015 8:48 pm : link
...
Sure it does  
Essex : 4/24/2015 8:51 pm : link
If you score more goals you are not vulnerable to a fluky goal. If you don't, than you find yourself in the position we are in now. Moreover, we have really struggled to separate from a banged up defense all series. Whether we win it tonight or in 6 or 7, that shouldn't be lost either. We need to play better to achieve our objectives this post season.
Really disappointed yet again in our offensive game  
MetsAreBack : 4/24/2015 8:53 pm : link

Put the fucking puck in the net. They've been plAying 3 nhl calibre defensemen for 5 fucking games now. For Nash to be this invisible is disgusting.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever read

The Rangers have skated circles around the Penguins. If not for MAF, this game would be over already. One fluke garbage goal doesn't mean that the game's at risk. The Pens have managed to outskate the Rangers for a grand total of 100 seconds.

Nash has had a handful of opportunities and is moving the puck well. Certainly isn't invisible.

The dumbest thing I ever read is saying that we haven't scored because of MAF. When you shoot the puck into the mans chest, it is easy to save. Is he playing well? Yes. Should we be shooting higher quality shots? I think so. I don't think our finishing has been great all series. The other night we couldn't hit the net if we tried and tonight it seems like we are just shooting it into the center of his chest and not getting good wood on the puck.
Are you watching an old game on DVR?  
Wuphat : 4/24/2015 9:00 pm : link
Because you're not watching the same game I am.

If you don't recognize that MAF has had to make at least a half dozen excellent saves, IDK what to say.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Ok  
Essex : 4/24/2015 9:01 pm : link
Whatever.

BrettNYG10 : 4/24/2015 9:03 pm : link
Yes, it is dumb to suggest that quality goaltending is preventing goals. #logic
