Rangers beat Columbus last night. Nothing much to brag about there. They basically started the season off hot and as of the past week or so turned back into the Rangers we know and love.
Lundqvist got the start last night, but I wouldn't doubt his back-to-back start tonight. Valiquette is a highly capable backup though. Given Henrik's record against the Pens I'd rather Valiquette sits.
Matt Cooke is back.
Hal Gill is out.

I agree. And technically it was still a bad power play. He just got out of the box when he scored.

PS
New book :
The Code; the unwritten rules of fighting and retaliation in the NHL.
Really shines a more understanding light on hockey fights. I’m only three chapters in, but it’s a very interesting read. Almost reads as if you’re sitting at a bar with the author and he’s telling you all about fighting.

Sounds good. I’ll add it to my list – which is just getting longer and longer, and nothing’s getting read. (Well, a lot is getting read, but mainly school-related stuff. )
bah. Reading in school is overrated. I never read anything for school and still graduated with a 3.5.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
er, 3.5 out of 4.0. I think you guys do it different up in the Great White North.

That’s what the abstract, introduction and conclusion are for.
There’s no standard up here – we have an 10pt scale here, all the school I’m applying for grad school at use a 4pt scale and I know a school that has a 4.5pt scale. I had to google how to calculate my gpa on 4 for the applications I’m working on. (I’ll just cross my fingers its right)
My extremely proficient use of plurals and grammatical rules in that comment should really prove how equipped I am to continue on at higher education.
It was the same way with the Canes game the other night. Recycled information makes me nauseous.

The Pens, more specifically Malkin and Crosby, have to realize the days of charging down the middle are gradually coming to an end.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
Yeah. I think Crosby has always had a little more success with it than Malkin, but regardless, it’s starting to cause some major turnovers. Still, watching Crosby charge down the middle and spin around 4 defensemen looks so good on a highlight reel.
No kiddin. One of his best came against these very Rangers.

I agree. That was just a good display of keeping it in the zone and getting it toward the net. Good things happen that way.
I just find it amazing how someone like Sid can crash the net without being obstructed. No one touched him and he could just slip in and find that puck. The D-man has to push Sid out of the crease.

if the Rangers don’t score here, this game might very well be a lock

And you know what? I also don’t get what Therrien has against Sydor. He scored the first goal and looks solid on D. He even just poked away that drive into the Pens’ zone.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
He does look good – but I read somewhere that things haven’t been good between them since the whole Mark Recchi thing last year (which Roberts and Orpik and others didn’t like either). Plus, the fact that he’s now basically trade bait – he wants to move and the Pens are just holding on to him and waiting, scratching him a lot. It seems like a waste to me – because he’s a solid defenseman.

Most obnoxious broadcast team to listen to.

I naturally take it as an insult. They have some of the most biased broadcasters in the game.

Also let the record show that I despise their goal song. It sounds like a short bus choir.

Crap. This is the sort of things that poses as a rally point.

I don’t know who they sent, but I’d hope it’s someone who will pose as a threat on a break-out pass.

MSG commercial:
“Rangers head out to Long Island to take on the hated Islanders.”
Classy. Even Pittsburgh commercials don’t say “hated Flyers.” At least the ones I’ve seen…
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
Eh, he’s back now. If he’s healthy enough to play he’s healthy enough to be hated.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
all they had to do was ice that puck down in the Rangers’ zone.

Nice try Letang. That worked last year…you need a new move.

Well they’re all going to get a nice lecture from Therrien about sucking in the third. Hopefully it’ll be better on monday.
It’s amazing they could play so well in the third the other night and then completely bomb it tonight.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com
Yeah – it’s a bit of a mystery. Consistency hasn’t been the story of the season so far.
Anyways, I have to get going, have a good weekend!
