Goaltending, defense, blocking shots & penalty kill, & veterans that can still play like jAGR, Shanny, Drury, Gomez--A YOUNG ONE!, Straka (that doesn't include you, Gary Roberts). “Can someone please tell me one aspect of the game where the Rags outmatch the Pens?”

Does anyone know what that means for us out-of-towners? Do we get a broadcast through Center Ice, or no broadcast at all? Dellapina is reporting that Games 1 and 4 will be on Versus only in New York.

Granted a lot of goals were flukes I just never felt he really looked 100% comfortable. I hate a great view of him in game 5 from my seat (behind him for two periods). He was very slow in his reactions. Maybe it was nerves about wrapping up the series, or maybe he did get a lil nervous about being run at by a sore loser Devil, but he was far from sharp on the routine plays. 1st goal was a result of him saving a puck with the glove that was way over the net. Obviously you know about the off the head off the stick through the legs, nothing but net goal. Again, not saying he was bad, cause he clearly came up big in the third, but overall he needs to be better. Cause god knows they will get their fair share of chances. To the CMU guy, Id first like to say I was somewhat impressed that you came on here and for the most part you were civilized and gave a rather educated explanation of why your team will win. I cant argue with the fact that the Penguins are loaded and have a good chance at going all the way. I think this series will come down to the fact that your team had too easy a matchup in Rd 1. It hurt us big time last year. We just werent prepared for the onslaught, similar to the one that you are about to see. This will be intensity like you havent seen since the 90s in your so called "Igloo". I believe that it will be a very even series and I believe in the end it will need a decisive Game 7. And in those types of games, the more experienced team usually wins. So my friend CMU, be prepared for a let down. See how your boy with the DSL is hunched over in the picture above???? Get used to it bro!!!!! Goalie matchup…Lundqvist will have to be a lot better guys this round. Granted a lot of goals were flukes I just never felt he really looked 100% comfortable.

Experience can go a long way in the playoffs and as I look down the Pens line up I just don't see much playoff experience...other than Sykora. Its gonna be a close series either way and I CANT WAIT TILL FRIDAY!

We plyed each other well durig the regular season and this should be no different. The Rangers can play against the Penguins it should be a good series.
