Pre-Game Talk: NYR @ PIT - 12/5/17 @7:30 PM ET

[Mac n Gs]

These periods of days off are the worst for Hank. They gotta keep it simple and contain the neutral zone and walls against Pitt or they’re gonna get torched.

 

[Hire Sather]

We have never been dominated by this Pens team the last 10 years like we were dominated by the Pens in the early 90s. We always have played tit for tat against the Pens since the Hank era began.

They've dominated us since they changed their coach

 

[CasusBelli]

Make it a double and chase it with a Kampfer hip check or Staal blue-line standup.

 

[RangerBlues]

I dont much like Penguins.

3-4-2 in the regular season since Sullivan took over.
Certainly not great, but far from being dominated.

We haven't played tit for tat the last few years and were always beaten by them under Torts.

 

[Siddi]

It is going to suck if we lose against Pitt with the next game not untill friday.

Hate this schedule

 

[Alluckks]

Anyone know the line?

Over / under 5.5?

O/U in hockey is basically always 5.5 haha

Think his old age appreciates the days haha

 

[Leonardo87]

Lol, Crosby should get an Oscar for that one.

Agreed. My memory tells me we lost at least 2 games if not 3 by late game tying goals and losing in OT. We could easily be 6-3 in last 9. Don't think I'm wrong.

Under Torts? Yep. Don't think Pitt liked Torts too much. Didn't Torts call out the league in reference to Crosby and all the calls he gets? Maybe that's where "crybaby" originated? Lol.

I fear being a step behind with too many days off. Hank doesn't like it either, although keeps him rested. We need Hank to NOT allow that 1st goal, especially early. Don't allow them that all important 1st goal. We have been a good come from behind team, but you don't want to be behind Pitt. Take it to THEM, they can be had........and Murray is injured. Jarry is their new Murray. Oh nooooo!

3 points behind the 2nd WC now...crucial wins coming up against difficult opponents

WHEN we win......this would still apply. But soon after Washington game.......we play 6 in 9! Gonna need 2 bottles of Jack.

 

[Blueblood2]

Hopefully Zibby will be back for the 6 in 9

 

[Leonardo87]

Hopefully Zibby will be back for the 6 in 9

6 in 9 games huh? I mean yeah when the schedule has 3 to 4 days off in between games they have to start piling them on, not sure why the schedule is like this. Teams also still get that sorta bye week right?

 

[Lays]

Feels the same way for me. I haven't been able to watch a game in the past week+I've been so busy with work and school and parties I haven't got the chance to watch one since I've been out everyday. A W would be nice here

lol I thought the game was last night, thankfully I had to go out with some friends last minute yesterday instead of today. Around 7:45-8 my phone died for a bit and I asked them what the score was, they told me there was no game. Confused but happy it's today since I have 0 plans
