QUOTES TO NOTE:

I think Laf is very mature for his age, and the speed he plays at, the way he sees the ice.
It is a step up from the hockey he’s been playing, but I think he’s been doing a really good job throughout camp from what I saw and the games.
Maybe a goal, something to get his confidence level up, maybe a little more comfortable.
I think it’s still maybe a little nervous. I really like what I’ve seen from him.
- Mika Zibanejad

Finding consistency through the whole game and avoiding the big mistake is something that will help us out.
But take the puck possession, the o-zone stuff, we got a lot of pucks to the net. To put up 50 shots is a good sign.
- Jacob Trouba

The real story was the start of the game for us.
I thought we started playing the last seven or eight minutes of the first. We started playing well, doing some good things.
I thought we did some pretty good things in the second and the third, but not enough. You just can’t give up goals the way we did.
- David Quinn

Penguins aren't that good this year...sorry they just aren't.

We aren't either thus far either...lol

That said, is it asking too much for a nice tidy ho hum 4-1 type of win?

Hmmmmm...hope not!
 
Rangers- 27

Penguins- 4

Strome scores 4 own goals for PIT while leading the team in ice time because of Davey boy.
 
I know there's a lot of anger with Quinn right now, but having gone through many beginning's of seasons, I think those beginnings, especially with a young team, can often be incredibly frustrating. Quinn is doing a shit load of frustrating things as he's done at the beginning of every year. But as the year progresses, he tends to find his groove and the tinkering going on now helps calm things down in the long run.
 
pretty sure the game will go like this

give up a goal 45 seconds into the game

then take a penalty a minute later
give up a PP goal

I think we're all on edge because we started with ugly losses to the Islanders and Devils, and Jack Hughes had a big night against us. If we were on our customary west coast 0-3 road trip to start the season, there would be annoyance yes but It wouldn't be so visceral.

That said, if Laf and Kakko go pointless again tonight, f***ING FIRE HIS ASS
 
Looking forward to the 14 Malkin one timers on the 6 PPs they will get.

Big test for Laffy going up against Crosby in the first road game of his career.
