This team needs to pot 6 in the first period alone. Fuck the pens and fuck Domingue, spicy pork and broccoli eating fucker. 

I hope they razz him about that after goals. “You forget your spicy pork today bud?”

[jsm7302]

I'm envisioning Reavo getting the boys amped and I cannot freaking wait for this game to start!!!!!

 

If I'm Gallant, I'm starting the kid line and telling them to set the pace.

Other changes could only mean Reaves may be out.   Who else would they take out of the lineup?  or I guess it may be Nemeth for Braun

Lindgren is bad enough on two legs, downright scary on one.

Rooney out for Brodz is a possibility too no?

 

Or Rooney out for Hunt (Goodrow moved to C).

LFG!!!!!!  I was able to stream game 1 at home on the ESPN app, surprised it wasn't blacked out.  Hopefully tonight I have the same luck streaming at work on espn.com.

First off, I believe the Rangers will win this game or I wouldn’t watch the game lol

 

However…how-ever…I fully expect a veteran Penguins team to muck this game up. Make it ugly. Collapse around Domingue. Don’t let anything through. Stay out of the box, which is easy for the Crosby Pens. Keep the game tight going into the 3rd for a chance to steal. Look and wait for a mistake by a young Rangers team.

 

I sense a 1-0, 2-1 kind of game. Not a scoring onslaught. And that will be a credit to the game the veteran Pens play with Domingue in net.

If they do that then the Rangers will have to take the puck to the net a hell of a lot. Get to the middle of the ice and make it one on one battles.  Take it to their D. 

 

Dress Gauthier... lol

[The Dude]

Number of points for Panarin- 3

Number of saves for Shesterkin-30

Number of power play goals for Rangers- 1

Number of goals for Kakko/Chytil/Lafreniere-?- Total or each? Kakko- 2 Chytil-1

Number of points for Rangers defensemen- 4

Number of fighting majors for Rangers-0

You’re gonna get some Hunt and you’ll like it

[H-Dreamer]

Still a bit tired from Game 1 and of course I was stubborn and didn't sleep before the game...

Better not go to OT again.

Bad feeling Copp is still banged up and that that is the "other possible changes".  God damn it. We gonna see Hunt again. That's it. Fuck this. I'm jumping off my roof. 

 

Who plays in Lindgrens spot? Please not Nemeth. Braun? Hajek? Jones? 

[The Dude]

Steve McKenna for trivia. 

 

Sam decides he wants to do a head stand throughout game. He breaks his neck and falls out of the broadcast booth and into the crowd. The crowd passes Sam around like he's crowd surfing.  Even tossing him around like a beach ball. Thus, injuring him even more.  Sam is a tough son of a bitch and still calls the game. You don't fuck with Sam Rosen. 

 

Goodrow takes 2 elbowing penalties.  

 

Kakko has a 4 point night.

 

Hajek scores a goal as he is clearly the most qualified to play in Lindgrens spot.

 

Gauthier nets 2 as he plays in Copps spot and once again has his # retired. But this time, its IN GAME. Sidney Crosby gives an emotional speech and recognizes Gauthier as an all time great. He cries so much, he can't continue the game. 

 

Shestyorkin fights Malkin

Hope this works out but if it doesnt...It'll be nice seeing people choke on the "Lindgren sucks" narrative when they see what life is like for Fox without him.

He does suck, though. Tries hard, gotta give him that. 

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Whats up with Goodrow??

Don't know specifics, but he had a tough shot block in game 1.

I mean I could see why you would think that because you're wrong about most things.

 

But the context of that is that he's $3 million against the cap playing top pairing minutes and allowing his partner to win Norris trophies.

 

So, might want to rethink that flaming hot climate change level take. 

[Dunny]

I don't like the narrative building around Domingue the past day. Please bury him early. 

[fletch]

Respond like Oilers did in game 2.
