Hollweg I take out and easily replace with Colton, there will be fisticuffs and we need to step up and protect Avery. We don't want Dubi to do it or Shanny. Plus, the whining has started already which is awesome. The coach and Cindy are clearly in that category and the longer the series goes we clearly are in better shape because the refs will have no choice but to call it more often. And I love the fact that Gary Roberts is not playing that is a huge subtraction for the Pens. He started off the Ottawa series with a big goal and set the tone right away. OK, Adam Hall replaces him. LMAO. Lovin it as they say, I wish I could make the clock go faster!!!! we should be in seventh heaven tonight with a couple of these changes.

So Goalie edge plus defense edge looks good. Its not that they have better defenseman necessarily but they have better defense. Then that leaves the forwards. The Pengins are very explosive but the RAngers have good puck possession. So good puck possession plus team defense (especially the Rangers ability to block shots) limits scoring chances. And when they do get scoring chances Henrik is sitting there waiting. I gotta go out nd lay basketball or something because this waiting and sitting is killing me!

Direct quote from Shero "I want him to do his thing here, but that could change tomorrow. I could call him in here and say you've been traded, *but that's not what I'm looking to do at this point* ... I want him to be a good player here, but rumors are always going to be out there, that's how the business is, I understand that, but I wanted to talk with Ryan about it and it was a good talk." So other teams inquiring about his availability does not mean the Pens are considering trading him.

That sounds like a pretty BS rumor to me. PS, how in the world would the Rangers get Malone and Orpik for Prucha? That sounds like a pretty BS rumor to me.

So Larry Brooks makes it legitimate? Shero meeting with Malone is probably to tell him that he is NOT being traded, and to relax. “Sunday, the New York Post reported a possible deal that would send Malone and, potentially, defenseman Brooks Orpik to the New York Rangers in a package deal including forward Petr Prucha.”

That's exactly the point I was making. As for playing outside of the crease, we only got that one ridiculous call for that. a lot of the time he was in the crease, like when Jagr clipped him with his leg. Brandon, in all seriousness, all I'm looking for is a new angle, something I haven't considered. I want to say Rangers in 7, I really do.

The Rangers get these goalie intrfernce calls and people make it sound like the RAngers have a plan to rush the goalie when they are doing what teams normally do. As for the LGR ok I was trying to figure out if it was like jk or lol or imo now I get it thanks :-) LGR Thats what I mean too.
