Post-Game Talk: Rangers at Penguins 2/7/14

[trilobyte]

Big win but they have to tighten up defensively late in the third period of games. It's a disturbing trend.

They need to think about that and try to figure it out.

 

[Boruto]

Now only if there's a way for CBJ to lose. Sigh.

 

[Glennsoe]

didn't look like MAF was ready when Brad started to skate...

The zuke line was all over the ice tonight...

This.

Swagarello -> Muscular Beaver

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuscular Beaver!

I really hope Sather doesn't cave and give Cally 6+. That would be a huge mistake.

 

[Kokoschka]

this

at least the rangers are more competent than our olympians

That's a picture worthy of our great country .

 

[Oak]

Wonderful win. Sloppy game but we still got it.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Nice win against a dangerous team, 3rd game in 4 nights. Dominated 5 on 5 and should have taken it in regulation, but got the much needed 2 points

 

[Net Front Presence]

What a game. 3 stars: Brassard, Pouliot, Zucc

 

[aufheben]

LOL.

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuscular Beaver!

Whoooosh!

 

[UncleOscar]

Huge win for this team going into the break, especially after last night. Also, for such a talented player, Malkin still does a lot of immature things. He's incredibly dirty for a guy of his skill level and not many people seem to care. If a player like Matt Cooke or Dan Carcillo trips up Callahan at the end of the game, I'd expect the main board to crucify them.

 

[Placid]

Really good game (well, except for some "i left my brain in the locker room" moments).

And 2 very welcome points!

 

[Ghost of jas]

Girardi
Poo
Staal.

Anyone voting other players is wrong.

Stralman was excellent, also.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Gutsy win.

The Brassard line has been carrying this team and they keep winning. One career underachiever and two free agents, and they're carrying a team with a bunch of Olympians.

I'm pretty disappointed in Stepan. You can count on one hand the number of games where he looks engaged, let alone plays worthy of an Olympian. Same with nash, but Nash was concussed, so at least he has an excuse.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Only 3 negatives in this game. 1) PK 2) the OT sucked 3) NASH!!!

Otherwise, we outplayed them badly.

 

[The Perfect Paradox]

Always great to get two points against Pittsburgh, especially in their own building.

The Rangers really matched the Penguins forecheck pressure and agression. They pinned them in their own zone for stretches throughout the game. This is so refreshing to see as wins against the Pens are usually "hang on for dear life as they relentlessly control the puck and hope Fleury or their defense lets up".

This is the first time, to my recollection, that we matched their intrnsity. Very proud of this team.

 

[Swedish Fish]

Huge win after that dud last night, going into the break on a highnote.

 

[eco's bones]

That was ****ing good. Rangers had a very good game apart from 3 or 4 dumb ass penalties (Nash, Hagelin). Brassard line were all really good. Pouliot with some clutch goal scoring. Girardi a great game. Staal as well. I thought Kreider played well--his line mates not so hot--especially Nash. Henrik was really good and held up well enough in the shootout.

 

[member 116805]

Easy, 3rd line

Poo
Zucc
Brassard

 

[Gardner McKay]

Jooridi pls. Fantastic game. Should have had it in regulation but you know what? We still got the win. Cant complain. Giddy up Rangers.

 

[Crease]

Fun game. Two of the top teams in the conference, the night before a long break so everyone's going 100%. Didn't think the Rangers were going to be able to hold on at the end. On the road, the second of a back-to-back. They pulled it out.

Lundqvist played well despite the stat line. Watching McDonagh rush the puck reminds me of Niedermayer. Pouliot, bar-down off his back foot. Glad to see Biron back in the studio, whatever happened to the rumors about a comeback?

 

[ShootThePuckBarry]

I liked Staal's game tonight.

 

[Machinehead]

Words escape me. All i can say is I'm really hot, my hands are shaking, and i feel ****ing amazing.

Thanks for picking up the pgt Bob I'm on mobile

 

[Boruto]

Stacy can't you see? You're just not the girl for me.

 

[Petey Pucks]

glad we got the much needed 2 points...would have much rathered we won in reg or OT and got a ROW win....would have been best if we could have won in regulation in Pittsburgh where they don't lose and deny them the 1 point....Callahan is pretty dumb lately
