Penguins vs Rangers Open Thread - Round 2, Game 1

Game 1
In Pittsburgh at 7pm
Watch on Versus, MSG, Yahoo! or listen live on WXDX.com.

NOTES
At long last the night has arrived. The Penguins last played nine days ago. Will they be rusty? Doubtful.

The players have asked Pittsburgh fans to white out the building tonight, and if there's one thing Penguins fans are known for it is their loyalty. Expect to see white jerseys, white t-shirts (handed out by Mellon) and perhaps even some white towel waving for this one.

Gary Roberts is a scratch on the night. Looks like he couldn't jump back from those leg issues he had in the second half of the Ottawa series. He remains probable for Sunday, but if I had to guess I'd say unlikely. Expect him back for Game 3.

Nothing more to say about this one that hasn't already been said. Let's allow the players and the game to speak for tomorrow's media ventures.

Game on.

What a game!

Wow... down 3-0 and then come back to win it 5-4. One thing that I can honestly say.. no time during the game did I think the Pens were probably going to lose. This team scores goals in bunches(twice tonight scoring a goal and then repeating the effort less than 20 seconds later). As soon as they get one goal, you almost know more are coming.

The Hossa goal was nuts... never in my life have I seen a puck go through the hole in a guys skate and scor a goal.. wow..

Nice to see Ruutu get a goal... I always like seeing him score.

It was

quite possibly the best game of the season. Everyone knew this series was going to be playoff hockey to the max and it didn't disappoint. However i feel this game was awkwardly higher scoring than some may have even expected.
