Forget the goal taken off the board yesterday, but isnt it amazing how referees never miss the NO DISCRETION too many men on the ice, slashing the sticks, and delay of game pucks out of play penalties on us, but I think they've missed 8 this entire playoffs on the devs n pens, thats more than one a game. It's ridiculous. donsausage

I will see you guys then, unless I feel there is something new on which to comment. I just can’t deal with reading any more comments (besides Sam’s news) until the next game.

He's beatable. I think the teams in the East are battle tested. Granted we got banged around pretty good out west, I wasn't overly impressed with any of the Western teams that came to the Garden this year including Dallas (who we should have beat) and San Jose (who we did beat).

I feel a total Rout of Shittsburgh in Tuesday's game. I like putting Struds in, even though he's slow, jsut to mix it up Prucah on the Gomez line I like as well. MAra, thank god, someone on the PP that can shoot. Why Toots is EVER on it is beyond my comprehention. we are winnign both games at MSg, thats it and thats all. We have to. Period And I have a very good feeling about someone running cindy into the boards next game, call me psychic, but it just may NOT be Avery. Would love to see Cally just smash him face first, then have him get up and look to th refs with NO CALL casue it was clean. Again, Rangers in 6, we are winning this series The boys will show up tomorrow no doubt about it. I feel a total Rout of Shittsburgh in Tuesday’s game.

One player was last year’s MVP, the other is the favorite to win it this year. These guys have arrived already, there was nothing Ottawa or the Rangers could have done about it. ....... The point is none of that really means anything until you produce in the Stanley Cup Playoffs... and they are doing that now. They pulled off a truly epic and legendary comeback win on friday night. An absolute classic. That's what heroes are made of, and those kids have that under their belts now, not only against us for the rest of the series, but against everyone they face for the rest of their careers. Before Friday night, they didn't know what it felt like to come back like that in a conference semifinal game...and they evolved to the next level right in front of our eyes, and gained that experience at our expense. It's a beautiful thing really, the nature of the beast. Ovechkin may very well be the "best player" for years to come but unless he brings a team to a championship he'll just be a Lindros, Roenick, etc etc etc etc... GREAT players than never went all the way. Crosby/Malkin = doing the real dance, right now. If they get through us, I don't see them NOT going to the finals, and once on that stage... you really just don't know what those kids might do given that opportunity. Scary as all hell, but PIT is one of those teams that actually is peaking at the right time. They could make a real cup run.

If you look at when the Rangers do clear the zone, nobody is there to pick up the puck. They are all on the boards or right dead center on the ice instead of moving and giving them options. That being said they sure as hell aren't the best at it, but right now they aren't given any options and they don't want to ice the puck. So they try to make a play to the outside or open space and the Pens just take it and push it right back down our throats because they are expecting it and transitioning on it immediately (with speed through the zone too).

The Rangers defense would get destroyed for being flat-footed and taking the physical beating that Dallas and Detroit readily dish out. And is anyone on the Rangers actually going to beat Turco? The Dallas team is so fast and physical, the Rangers would never penetrate enough to create quality scoring chances. And if the Rangers don't come back (and the Penguins go to the finals) then Fleury will be exposed for the flop-of-a-draft-pick he actually is. The West is too good. That being said, let's actually get the Rangers to the place where they'll actually have to worry about it! LGR!!! Nobody has a chance against the West teams, it’s sad to say.
