Game Day. Game 14. Penguins vs Rangers




Madison Square Garden

TV: Root Sports Pitt
Radio: 105.9 The X

(10-2-1)

First in the Metrosexual Division)



(6-6-2) 

(5th in the Metrosexual Division)

   The Penguins will have their first meeting against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year and ultimately led to #EndDanBylsma campaign. This will also be a reunion as the Penguins will get to visit former recent teammates Lee Stempniak and Tanner MostDope Glass. The Rangers at 6-6-2 have struggled as of late coming off a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers (LOLOLOL) and a 5-4 loss to the Maple Leafs last week. Rick Nash is tied for the NHL lead in goals with Corey Perry at 11 goals, even though he should have never been on Team Canada and thinks that gold medals are chocolate coins... he's here nonetheless. Tonight at 7PM the Rangers look to end the seven game win streak by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What to Watch For:
  • Look for Marc Staal to touch Sidney Crosby and to get crucified by Downie 3:16
  • Penguins PK 37/37 (100% duhh) the last 10 games
  • PK now ranks 3rd in the NHL
  • Penguins have won 5 of their last 7 games at MSG (Reg season only #LOLBylsma)
  • Penguins are still 1st in the NHL going  21/56 (37.5%) on the powerplay
  • Look for Rick Nash to hide behind his players if there's a fight
  • Penguins on the uptrend, Rangers playing inconsistent 

Jammed up for this game




LETS GO PENS. DO IT.
