Shut the **** up Crosby

[twistedwrister17]

magic number is at 1. Let's get this done!

[KingWantsCup]

SUCK IT PITTSBURGH. Let's get this #1 seed on lock tonight then let Biron play out the rest of the season! Henrik is going to get a LOT of rest if we win tonight, or even just get a point.

I don't think Torts cares much for the Presidents' trophy. If we win it we win it, but we're not gonna burn Lundqvist out to get it.

[NYR1724]

I don't know if Hank gets THAT much rest. Maybe he gets the last game off against the Caps. I was watching behind the bench and Torts commented that he doesn't believe in resting players unless they need it for health purposes. He used Callahan taking games off earlier this month to get over his ankle/foot injury.

[truebluegoalie]

Big game tonight, I think how this team shows up for the game says a lot about their makeup for the playoffs.

[NYR1724]

The Rangers still have two call-ups left. Would they bring someone like Casey Wellman up to see what he can do? Or maybe bring Erixon back?

And of course management has its fingers crossed that BC loses Thursday and Chris Kreider can play the last game against the Caps.

Eh. I disagree. It's one regular season game, which is never really a very good barometer for anything.

[SRTtoZ]

Tonight is the night.

Epic trollage in Pittsburgh. The real prize for finishing first is not getting involved with either of those two teams.

[CaliDubiZib]

When Crosby was gone, I was getting along with Pens fans, and 'scraping' with Bruins and Flyers fans.
With Crosby back, Pens fans are worse than ever, and I'm generally having fun with Flyers and Bruins fans.

You are right, it is only one game, but from a mental standpoint and pressure wise, it is a chance to clinch the Eastern Conference. Whether they admit it or not it will be in their heads. So I think how they come out speaks a lot to their mental makeup under even a small amount of pressure.

[Slenke]

Is it just me or did the Pens do better without cindy? I thought they played better before Crosby.

[ChipAyten]

If we end up playing either of the Pissylvania teams they'll be too exhausted after bashing eachother's faces in. I'm happy.

ROW's have been the 2nd tie-breaker (no. 1 being games played) since the lock-out in 2005. Shoot-outs were introduced but didn't count as a win.

ROW stands for Regulation and Overtime Wins

[blue2noise]

Not only will the Garden be rocking tonight, but you may hear the biggest explosion you have ever heard for a game going into overtime.

ONE POINT. LET'S GO RANGERS.

[Muh]

Earn this number 1 seed with a win tonight boys.

Clinch now, give a few guys some days off and get ready to roll come playoff time.

Dunno how well Bruins have been playing of late, and I believe they have the 2 seed all locked up, could be wrong. But I expect us to come out fired up and continue our strong play against the Bruins.

3-1 Win
Stepan
Richards
McDonagh

[Alicat]

Lineup may get wonky if Ottawa loses.

I just hope Joe Corvo doesn't play or you all should feel pretty confident about torching him all night.

[New York RKY]

Thank you very much Philadelphia.

Rangers get that one point tonight so the only thing they need to worry about is trying to win the President's Trophy.

Hopefully we finish it up tonight.

Actually, it used to just be total wins. They didn't change it to ROW until last season.

[mahonistan*]

The Garden is going to be a madhouse tonight.

[NickyMaz]

Can't wait for this game! Get the Win, Clinch the East!

Let's Go Rangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't look like that will happen. We still have Florida to worry about anyways. If they both lose today, then you might see a wonky lineup.

[Torey Krug Fan]

Please get that clinch! I'd prefer a win but clinching is all that matters in the long run.

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Wow. Pittsburgh choked HARD.

Tonight's a big night. Also, I don't want Hank to rest all season if we win tonight. He needs to get back into a groove still, he's finally doing so and that's because he's been PLAYING recently.
