[The Lunatic Fridge]

It really is a joke that you can't listen to your home announcers in the playoffs. Way to lessen the experience, NHL.

They paid 5 BILLION to hire clowns to call the playoffs. I don't hate kenny albert or anything but he is nowhere near Sams league.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Yeah, I've seen enough examples of the Pengies turning things around. Gotta keep sharp out there. One little sleepy moment and bang it could change.

This. All the shaky MAF stuff will turn right in our face. But we have played Pittsburg enough to know that they can score on us 2-3 goals within 2-3 minutes. Don't give this out of hand, not even for a fart of a second.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Do this more please

LOL. This is awesome.

True but I will listen to ANYONE over Emerick.

 

[johnmd20*]

Skidney is such an immature brat, rofl

He is all ******.

5 Billion? Is this some kind of sick joke?

 

[Hire Sather]

The funny thing is we ARE listening to our home announcer.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Awesome period.

However this couldn't be any further from over. Pittsburgh can score at will, especially if their zebra teammates start doing them favors.

 

[RangersFan]

Can't let one period get to our heads. Pittsburgh is the kinda team that can score 3 goals in a row and take control of the game. Need to keep making good defensive plays on the rush and keep the front of the net clear. Also, stay out of the box.

there is no way the rangers win with only 2 goals. fully expect the pens to get at least 2 tonight. need at least another goal to win this one.

Millbury is annoying

I dunno, I really like Albert calling games. Definitely will take over when Sam retires.

Kenny is better than Rosen now, IMO. Few years ago, nah.

 

[Un Prophete]

Yeah, but in fairness, none of those things happen if there is no faceoff because of the offsides. Logic says:

Botched offsides -> Faceoff -> Penguins miscues -> Rangers goal.

Therefore Botched offsides -> Rangers goal

That's just silly, since by that logic you could attribute a goal scored late in a period to a missed offside early, because the sequence of events would be forever altered.

 

[Kakko]

C'mon guys

Crosby has changed. He clearly doesn't dive, whine and play dirty anymore.


And Cooke cleaned up his act.

Millbury: "Elemental...uh Fundamental errors"

Millbury is annoying

I thought his analysis was spot on.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Just remember in the Flyers serious we would always follow up a good 1st with a **** show of a 2nd, so lets see how they come out of the intermission. They start on the PP which is good.

Keep it up.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Rangers got goals from their 2nd and 3rd lines.

Good period. Expect a dive or two from the Pens for a makeup call.

They need to score on this PP. Get some confidence back.

And for all the crap we give Hagelin, his speed once again created a goal off the forecheck.

 

[truebluegoalie]

Omg. Wtf. I paused the game for about ten minutes before the opening faceoff. Then with about eight minutes left in the first, Verizon decides to do a monthly test of the emergency alert system. When it is over the game is in intermission and I can't rewind. Missed the richards goal.

Wtf nice timing dickheads.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I thought his analysis was spot on.

I think i'm the only one who likes Milbury. I think it might just because he ruined the Islanders

IDK. The man certainly knows the game when it's on an enormous tablet screen. I think that if he could use one of those one the ice, he would still be in the game.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I just love the fact that Richards came to play these playoffs. We truly have 4 lines that can score. Granted they still are not good finishers, but that was a great period.

 

[rkwittem]

Nice to see Brad Richards back at it. Good luck with Pittsburgh. I like when Boston beats them but I like when anyone beats them, really.

 

[Florida Ranger]

I think i'm the only one who likes Milbury. I think it might just because he ruined the Islander

I like. He's honest. But he has his moments.

 

[trilobyte]

I'm pretty sure a good portion of the Penguins are feeling quite unconfident in Fleury. I know what it's like to be playing and having no faith in your goalie, even if it is just rec league.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

5 Billion? Is this some kind of sick joke?

That IS the joke.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Chris Kunitz - olympic gold medalist, ladies and gentleman.

lol. well thats what happens if you play well with Cindy.
