Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Rangers
In New York at 7:00
Watch on FSN/Center Ice/MSG or listen live at WXDX.com
NOTES
Big division game tonight - a chance for the Pens to keep moving up and stifle the Rangers' attempts at rising through the standings. Eklund from hockeybuzz.com predicted the Rangers will make it to the finals to play against the Sharks. It could happen...
But then again it couldn't. I'd rather bank more money on that NOT happening.
Hossa and Malkin need to come up big, and you all know Malone and Sykora are coming out ready to play. Conklin is getting the nod over Fleury tonight, most likely in efforts to keep him warmed up for the playoff run.
I don't normally predict scores but I'll do it here. 4-2 Penguins.

hi there.
so that prediction is pretty much shot to shit, eh?

just yet...they could score 4 unanswered.

i won't deny that it's possible
but i don't think it'll happen tonight.
by Christine @ PensBurgh on Mar 18, 2008 7:47 PM EDT reply actions
It's happened
Might i remind you of the Montreal 6-5 SO win? Weren't the Rangers up 5-1 at one point?
yeah Frank
I remember that. Rangers are definitely capable of effing up this 2 goal lead for sure!

me neither
they need to get it together. Also, side note. Did you see Marc Staal block that Malkin shot. I love that kid, even if he does play for the Rangers.
like i said, it's POSSIBLE
but not very probable.

we shall see
by the way, this may make your viewing on the site a bit easier.
Even if you ARE a Rangers fan...
well
i'm ready for some hat-eating.

Finally
a point for Jordan Staal. He's been working so hard out there this season. Have I mentioned that I love the Staal brothers? Maybe once or twice eh?
here we gooo........
Love Ruutu. And "The Move"
And love Staal's stick-to-it-ness
How can
a play get called as both a penalty and a dive (so 2 players get 2 mins)? I saw it happen the other day and I don't understand, isn't it either a penalty or a dive?
Hey Killer...
you catch Avery talking to Minard before? I could've swarn he said "Who the hell are you again?"
Whitney
What the hell. Another shaky night.
How about trading his ass so we can afford everyone else
Sell Whitney -
to keep Hossa? I guess it might be a possibility - maybe even up Goglioski from the farm for a cheaper and more adept D-man.
Promo opportunity for squash
The longer Connor James stays on the big club, somebody should sponsor every time he gets crunched. Like the subway sandwich of the game
i
may have to say over...ruutu is pissed. i wont be surprised if there is a fight off the face-off!!

whitney and sydor
should just sit. Bad night for both.
NYR feed
said they've been on for four of the five. Could there be a Goligoski or gulp...Nasreddine sighting soon?
i do however
like your idea of opening up some $$$ with a potential Whitney move. That could keep Hossa around - but you'd definitely have to make sure whoever the Pens promote fro the farm (or take from elsewhere) can handle the position.
deepest position in the system right now
is probably on the blueline. Strait, Sneep, Goligoski will be be ready soon. We can probably afford to get some young prospect and free up some salary by trading Whitney.
