Absolutely love the GDT, Zenith.

Especially the IR for Pitt. Plus, apparently Hank's middle name is "<3"

Anyway, let's win this one, as we've got some games coming up that we should win, and this will only help us distance ourselves more and more.

Hopefully G and McD are ready for Malkin.

Wraparounds · 02-21-2012, 12:30 AM

Well, let's go Rangers, folks.

Well lookie at what the trade deadline dragged in. Some of us were wondering where you and the PGT disappeared to.

Thanks to your disappearance, we'll never know who is going to take home the year end Sean Avery Memorial Trophy.

This is an important game. We need to stop any of our Atlantic rivals from staging a late season run at our #1 position. We also want to win the few road games we have. We have more home games than Boston does, but we need to not collapse on the road. Extending our lead into double digits would almost guarantee us the first spot, baring a collapse.

Net Front Presence · 02-21-2012, 01:02 AM

This is gonna be a tough one. Wouldn't be surprised with a loss since it's in Pittsburgh, but I'll have faith in the boys.

4-3 win.

Sticky Fingers · 02-21-2012, 01:09 AM

NIce GDT!!! Time to kick some penguin ***!!!!

Replica2112 · 02-21-2012, 02:03 AM

Sort of an inside joke.

I love Kris Letang and everyone pokes fun at me because of that. I just pile it on, though.

Replica2112 · 02-21-2012, 02:13 AM

Ah get ya.

LET'S GO BLUESHIRTS!!

Gaborik (2)
Dubi
Del Zotto

4-2 Rangers

NYR Sting · 02-21-2012, 02:37 AM

Hey, ****** 80s television set, no one cares about your pious beliefs here.

BlueshirtBlitz · 02-21-2012, 02:42 AM

I'd trade Dubi, Letang and a 1st for Nash. Deal with it.

Anyway, a win here is big. Come out strong against a good team after going to OT against a really bad one.

Maybe you've started a new one, considering McDonagh has a 141 clocks and Michalek has 93.

Didn't know Ryan was such the time keeper.

**Machinehead** · 02-21-2012, 02:49 AM

As always I hate the Pens and I want blood and guts yada yada yada I don't have to do it every time.

LGR!!

Draft Guru · 02-21-2012, 03:03 AM

4-0 so far at Consol, correct? Let's keep that streak alive. LGR

Ah, yeah, well, my life has been pretty hectic as of late.

Not too hectic to watch us thrash some flightless birds though.

Revelation* · 02-21-2012, 05:27 AM

Why is Hot Tub not getting a shot to crack the lineup? Does Torts really hate him that much that Stu Bickel continues to play forward?

was thinking the same thing. WW is gondie within the week. I imagine they waive him before the deadline if they cant trade him. Have to create that cap space just incase

**CaliDubiZib** · 02-21-2012, 06:22 AM

Well love is the most powerful force on earth, so "<3" >>>>>> "God"

fiedy88 · 02-21-2012, 07:21 AM

just a heads up, in the first post, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to say "Blocks" instead of Clocks for the one stat.

No. That's correct. Ryan McDonagh is a huge clock aficionado, he has a 141 clock collection. Michalek's collection, at 93, pales in comparison.

DanishRangersFan · 02-21-2012, 07:42 AM

Hopefully one of those clocks has the right time then

WW played himself off the team with that amazing -3 with sub five minutes of ice time. Exactly how many used pucks can they get for him?

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent.

Malkin ran rough shod over the boys last meeting at MSG....and the Pens are coming off a drubbing at the hands of the Sabres. Going to be a tough game tonight.

GDT looks awesome btw.
