Hoping Henrik is in.

Totally forgot kovalev was on the pens lol.

Expecting a good game out of christensen. He loves playing the pens.

No excuse for a loss. Look at that lineup. But it's an early game on NBC, we'll lose.

In a 4-3 loss. I'm down for that.

Keep the winning streak going.....It's crunch time !!

ColonialsHockey10 · 03-20-2011, 03:43 AM

I don't care how hard the Pens work, no excuse not to beat them tomorrow, that forward group makes me puke in my mouth.

Glennsoe · 03-20-2011, 05:06 AM

Just win..

Just shoot...

Just come out blazing like the first period vs mtl..

Also, don't make the other goalie look better than he is with weak shots..

Maineice11 · 03-20-2011, 05:39 AM

this is the only game that matters, biggest game of the season, no game before this or after this matters...it is all about today's game!!

do it rangers!!!!

we need to work hard to catch the canadiens!!!!

hopefully lundqvist is ready!!!

Dorado* · 03-20-2011, 06:02 AM

7-2 pens , Johnson shelled as rangers do the typical NBC day game parade to te penalty box .

Vitto79 · 03-20-2011, 08:00 AM

Winning!.............Occho is a former Pens pick. If he plays and they win awesome but if they lose we all blame Henrik for not playing. With that i bet the King is in

beef 4 lunch · 03-20-2011, 08:07 AM

not liking the the fact that this is a NBC game, an afternoon game, or the fact that we are coming off a huge win....

would love 2 pts but dont expect 'em.

lets go rangers.

Fitzy · 03-20-2011, 08:18 AM

Rangers seeking that ever-elusive 4th straight win tonight.

If Hank isn't feeling well i'd just as soon give him this one off.

NHRangerfan · 03-20-2011, 08:30 AM

This one kind of scares me...it's in Pitt, it's on NBC and they are coming off an emotional win against the Habs and Hank will either be sitting or less than 100%...I think the Pens take this one. unreal how good the Pens have been playing with no Crosby, Malkin, etc, even if Hank was 100% this wold not be an easy game.

UAGoalieGuy · 03-20-2011, 08:31 AM

Still no word on whether Lundqvist is going to play or not today? Only 3 hours until game time. I don't think any goalies were called up from the Whale, so i'm going to assume he's going to dress at the very least.

fiedy88 · 03-20-2011, 08:36 AM

I'll be wearing my white customized jersey today, 3-0 when wearing it, we'll be just fine.

Wraparounds · 03-20-2011, 08:45 AM

We have four 3-game winning streaks this season, nothing longer. Change that today!

Dorado* · 03-20-2011, 08:58 AM

Dustin Jeffrey and Mike Rupp for some reason morph into Crosby and Malkin against us . Rupp with a Gordie Howe , Jeffrey with 2 and and Kovalev with a hat trick . No chance today especially with Chad Johnson in goal .

silverfish · 03-20-2011, 09:10 AM

**** Mike Rupp

Regardless of Johnson or Hank in net I like the way our forwards and D have been working as of late.

Let's steal at least a point on the road here

Hate NBC games, refs always dick the Rangers.

LETS GO RANGERS

Yup. It's time to take it up a notch. We've played well at Consol this season too.

I like our chances if the guys come into the game ready to play.

AJRanger · 03-20-2011, 09:28 AM

Lundqvist starts per the Rangers twitter.

Staal out with an undisclosed injury, Gilroy in.

Jeffrey doesn't deserve to be lumped with Mike Rupp. Jeffrey has great positioning, good vision, and a wicked wrist shot. Mike Rupp is Mike Rupp.

I'm looking forward to Staal vs. Staal. All three of those brothers always play down right mean against each other. Not looking forward to NBC reminding us 89 times that Staal and Staal are actually related dontchyaknow!

Edit: now I see from the post above we get no Staal vs. Staal. Lame.
