GDT: MDSF #5 - 04/24/15 | Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Rangers | 7:00 - MSG, NBCSN ‎

[The Undertaker]

Feeling confident about tonight. Hopefully we can get a nice 5-0 win and make Pierre cry.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Rick Nash is too. A goal that actually matters, one that he actually made a move or two, and took a nice shot on.

That goal actually did give us momentum for game 3.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

That goal actually did give us momentum for game 3.

Don't quote me on this, but I think that goal at the end of game 3 was the inspiration that Haggelin and Hayes needed for OT in game 4.

QFT.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Don't quote me on this, but I think that goal at the end of game 3 was the inspiration that Haggelin and Hayes needed for OT in game 4.

Please, he didn't even make a move or two, and take a nice shot on it. He choked and the coughed the puck into the net, as per usual.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Hank hasn't stole on yet. Make it tonight hankiepoo.

 

[The Gloaming]

Nash not scoring meaningful goals is a valid concern. However, if he assists on Brassgod's meaningful goals, I won't really care if Nash scores or not.

That being said, if he were to get hot, watch out NHL.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Hank hasn't stole on yet. Make it tonight hankiepoo.

Sorry? Did you even watch game 4? Our entire team was still warming up halfway through the game. Without Lundqvist, we are down 3 goals by the time Brassard stuffs the puck in

 

[Captain Lindy]

Hank hasn't stole on yet. Make it tonight hankiepoo.

NO! That would mean the Pengs have a lot of chances. My heart can't take that again.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Hank hasn't stole on yet. Make it tonight hankiepoo.

Why?

If Hank has to steal this game, that would mean that the team failed to show up once again when they were in a position to make life easier for themselves.

I hope they win with out Hank having to save the day.

 

[TankLarkin]

Please take care of business tonight. How nice it would be to watch as Washington and Brooklyn kill each other for the full seven.

Yes I agree but the King and his men will goto war tonight.

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

25 or fewer shots for the Pens in each game is pretty crazy.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Please, he didn't even make a move or two, and take a nice shot on it. He choked and the coughed the puck into the net, as per usual.

Was I debating with the OP that the puck entered the net?

Or was I questioning whether the late goal was the momentum the Rangers needed?

If your going to debate me about Nash, could you at least respond to what I said instead of your inner monologue?

I got to make a train. Tonight should be fun!

LGR!

 

[FLYLine27*]

Just win....

I really hope he doesn't have to do that. This team should be motivated to play tonight, and if they're motivated they shouldn't have to rely on him.

Not interested in debate really. Just obviously sarcastic responses, I thought that was what we were doing when we discussed Nash's play.

Just for kicks I checked my online sportsbook and there are a bunch of props for this game and they're pretty interesting.

Pens +1.5 @ -200 (Pens unlikely to lose by 2 or more)
NYR -1.5 @ +170 (Rangers unlikely to win by 2 or more)

Pens +160 (Pens expected to lose)
NYR -185 (Rangers big favorites to win)

Pens -1.5 @ +500 (if the Pens win it'll be by 1 goal)
NYR +1.5 @ -650

To give you an idea of this:
Pens by 2 @ +850, by 3 @ +1200, by 4 @ +2000 etc.
NYR by 2 @ +450, by 3 @ +450, by 4 @ +600

ie Rangers unlikely to win by more than 1 but it wouldn't be surprising.

First team to reach 3 goals: Pens +180, NYR @ -110, Neither @ +250

Believe it or not that means the Rangers are even money to score 3 or more despite having done so once in the last 4 games.

Here are the odds of some players to score the 1st goal
Sid +765
Nash +855
Malkin/Honqvist +990/+1170
MSL/Kreider +1260/+1350
Kunitz/Perron/Comeau +1350/+1350/+1440
Step/Brass/Hags/Zuc +1440/1440/+1530/+1530
Bunch of other players (incl Hayes and McD)
...
Field +250

I guess that means Glass scores the 1st goal?

There's also individual player props on scoring a goal. I may bet on Zucc scoring @ +309.

wow, interesting stuff. not enough about running Hank, although Game 4 wasn't nearly as bad as Game 3.

 

[IAMREALITY]

Hank hasn't stole on yet. Make it tonight hankiepoo.

This is kinda the wrong thing to wish for no? Lot's of things wrong with that logic.

Furthermore, Hank has been overall stellar this series. He hasn't needed to 'steal' us the games because we've been so solid defensively. But he has done his part and been what we've needed him to have been every single game.

But tonight, tonight I want it to be about Nash, about Kreids, about Zucc, Hags and Hayes. Hell, even St. Louis. May they be flying out there...

Oh, and tears. I want, nay, I DEMAND, lots and lots of crosby tears...

Love this comment

This is neat. I’m picturing whoever wrote this maniacally changing markers every few minutes for no apparent reason.

 

[Glennsoe]

like I said at the main Board;

I can't wait to see the hand shake line tonight...

Whoever dotted that "i" should probably be fired, you know, because, yeah...
