Discuss.

[Silky mitts]

Pens in 5 , rolling at the right time and malkin coming back he will probably play with sid since the kessel, bones, hagelin line has been on fire. Oh and no mcd for the rangers huge loss.

Lundqvist stands on his head and Rangers win this in 7. 

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Rangers in 7.

[Toni Zamboni]

rangers in 6

I think the Rangers have looked stale all season. They're aging and banged up. Maybe the AV message is getting tuned out.

 

As long as MAF is healthy it's Pens in 6 or less.

 

I think the Pens are the team to beat in the East.

[Coconuts]

Pens in 7, they're getting hot at the right time.

[Alflives]

Rangers in 5.  This is a sad Penguins team.  They slide around on the ice flapping their little flippers just hoping to score even one goal.  Alf sees this as a potential Rangers sweep.

MAF is a terrible postseason goalie. Rangers in 6. Pens might win in 7 with Matt Murray.

Pens in 6. Pens need Kessel to get going though.

Kessel has 12 points in his last 9 games. He's definitely going.

Playoffs are different beast. Needs to show up there too.

21 points in 22 career playoff games, and +11. Been remarkably consistent whenever his team has been good enough to be there.

Wow, Jeff Zatkoff will get the start in goal for the Penguins for game one with Tristan Jarry serving as backup.

 

Zatkoff had the 44th best save percentage in the AHL this season.

[-Vintage Canuck-]

The Rangers are throwing everything on Zatkoff. 8-1 are the shots for the Rangers.

Fairly boring game so far. Tim Peel being horrible as per normal, making ridiculous calls from the opposite ends of the play.

[ftmN]

Oh $&!#, lundquist in a lot of pain after being hit in the face.

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Uh-oh, Henrik Lundqvist is down in severe pain after stopping a Trevor Daley shot.

 

Edit: It was actually Marc Staal's stick that hit him near the eye. Ouch! It could have been way worse. Lucky.

bangbang play, goal penguins!
