Kreider really got ripped off on that called back goal/penalty. Taking the puck hard to--he managed to get the shot off as he was being driven into Fleury by Letang. It was a great play.

I think the ref saw fleury to flying and just called it right away. Kreider seems to get the Avery treatment from the refs. No one seems to like the guy...I ****ing love it

I'm still latching onto Kreider becoming Pacioretty-esque for us. I've always thought that was the best comparison to his ceiling.

He's got everything. Skates like the wind and throws a hit like a Mac Truck. Then turns around and puts the puck in the net.

He's not flashy, but he's super effective. This team needs him. If he can put up 35+ goals on top of everything else he brings, i'd be very excited.

But please, tell me that Hank isn't a big game goalie one more time.

Also, Nash was hitting opposing players tonight.. I don't understand. Is he feeling okay?

I saw that too and I appreciated that. He has too big a body to float in a game 6. Well done Rick!

Well, I don't love it at all since it leads to him being in the box more than he should. He's going to have to learn to not put himself in those positions (case in point the Jokinen penalty tonight -- why is he even flying in there to hit him?). I love the kid, but man is he dumb sometimes. He'll grow out of it, though. I'm not worried.

I hope that tonight's goal would be one of the catalysts for review of those types of plays. A coach's challenge, if you will. It's disgraceful that that goal was called off.

I'm honestly fine with 25-30 goals.
 
Hell yeah rangers! Great game to be at.

You really have to go to a game live to see how much whining the penguins actually do.
 
Good to see Nash do the small things like use his size. This team is doing well with increase in physicality.

No I meant more that opposing players seem to hate him. Not so much that the refs also hate him...that kinda sucks

If I remember correctly David Backes used to be the same way. Take a lot of stupid penalties from being to rough, he grew out of it fine.
 
Nash's defensive game for the most part has been fine. He ****ed up on Sutter's shorthanded goal in game 4. The thing is--he's supposed to be the goal scorer and he's not as engaged in going to the net as the rest of the forwards on his team. He's still shooting from too far out and is not using his large body to get to the net.

Brassard's been great in this series 4 goals and an assist. Zucc and Pouliot 1 goal 3 assists each. Hagelin 2 goals and an assist. Kreider's been excellent after his first game. Those are the forwards who have been carrying the play for us. Boyle and Dominic Moore as well. Moore has been pestering the **** out of Crosby all series long. Stepan had his best game of the series tonight. Same with St. Louis.

Pens lack of depth on D and O getting exposed in these playoffs, again.
 
Loved watching the Moore-Crosby saga throughout the game. Crosby is invisible.

Nash had some nice hits, but we still need some goals from him. Marty's goal was perfect considering the circumstances.

Hank was big on a couple of breakaways.
 
Did NBC show the scrum at the end? Letang came out with his face bloodied to all hell. Perfect way to end the night

I'm right there with you. For everything else he brings, that would make him one of the most solid forwards we've drafted since i can remember. Had a bit of a scare with him at the start there, but he's come around in a big big way.

I'm confused. I was told the season was over on Wednesday, but then I come here and apparently they've won 2 games since then???!!! What gives?

Fluke wins. Games 3 and 4 are the real Rangers. How they REALLY played all season.
