Rangers fan here....just letting you guys know that you may not want it but you have the entire Rangers fanbase in your corner against the Pens. Please beat the everloving ***** out of that BS team in the 1st round.
How many "knee-on-knee" did the Pens have in the last 3 games? At least 1 per game , I think.
They will continue to be NHL sweethearts regardless.
I like Bylsma's gutless explanation...
Quote:
Bylsma compared the hit to one Letang received from Dallas' Eric Nystrom last month. Nystrom was not fined or suspended by the league.
"You see here where (Stepan) jumps out of the way and Brooks is on his track and looking to hit the guy at an angle, and he trying to get out of the way creates that scenario," Bylsma said.
Orpik was not available to reporters after the game.
The true WTF stat of the day...
Andreas Lilja has points (all assists) in 3 straight games, also going +4 in the process... He's been solid for the past 15 games or so.
Great job by the boys coming back and sending the Sabres home for the summer. Lilja and Bourdon with 20 minutes a piece, out there in the last 90 seconds as well. As most know, it's not the Penguins, or the Rangers, or the Devils that I hate the most, it's the Sabres. Among the more satisfying games I've been to.
Not sure how it looks otherwise, but I thought Bourdon was awesome tonight, beyond the goal. Should have been one of the stars. Not sure of the situation with Gustafsson, but Bourdon should be ahead on the depth chart by now.
wut?
May I ask why you hate them? Especially since we have owned them of late... Previous playoff rivalry, or something else?

Rivalries are made in the playoffs. I grew up having to deal with the Sabres nearly every year. I also just simply despise some of the 'players' they've brought along. The Barnaby's, Rob Ray's, Kaleta's, etc.
When you play the same team over and over again, it just furthers the hate. Biggest reason I don't really care about the Rangers like other people do. I grew up while they were irrelevant, and we haven't met in the playoffs since the lockout.

Totally agree. Remember Baranby taunting Snow(if i remember correctly. It was him or Burke) after he scored that goal? I was soooo pissed. Also Bob Boughner used to bring out the worst in me. I hated that guys face.
So, that's 2 years in a row we've knocked them out of the playoffs. They must not like us very much.
Payback is a ***** like Bylsma....those years they knocked us out of the playoffs were very painful. I had a big pillow with Barnaby's face on it that me and my friends used to smash around. I didn't like Briere either and wanted to pull a Bylsma on him and kill his head....
PS: Forgot about Boughner...ugh! Hated that team....
hearts regardless.
wut?
