Pens having their way

[cagedlion]

Pens threw 22 SOG in the first period, and they are coasting against a tired Ranger team
In the 2nd period, Rangers down 3-1.

And that's why I cannot stand Crosby & his BS. Kneeing Grabner.................real class! SOB

Really hope that someone ends crosby's career one of these days.

Offensively challenged right now. They miss a Yandle type dman badly.

 

[kreidertime]

No they don't. You and the no defense piece of shit Yandle. They miss three of their most creative forwards in Nash, Buchnevich and Zibanejad. Yandle was a piece of crap in his own zone.

He was not great in his own zone (similar to most high end puck moving defenseman), but this team absolutely misses a guy on the blue line who can do more than just make the basic first pass. A defenseman with some offensive creativity and puck carrying ability has a ripple effect and gives the forwards more room to operate. 4 of the 6 guys back there right now are lucky to connect on a 2 line pass and that is a hole on this team.

 

[Ranger71]

Missing those 3 is obvious but that's when not having a puck mover is even more critical as Prod said to create space.

 

[Ranger71]

Yeah, this defense is fine. March of the Wooden Soldiers.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Move schmuckerello for some decent d. Even if the rangers are missing top three guys still can't beat this team with garbage we have on d.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

Yandle has 1g 13a, Skjei (who costs a lot less) has 1g 15a..... Yandle is not missed here

 

[Stepupstepan]

Nice to see the chewing cow has made defensive adjustments against this pens team.

 

[kreidertime]

Rangers can't beat Pitt without all their forwards healthy for starters. Second, they need a more physical defense which AV refuses to build and absolute wouldn't play.

^^^^Playing the Pens, Flyers, Blue Jackets, Capitals, Canadiens in the East, the Rangers
need a healthy team. All hands on deck.........if not, the team struggles. Would love to see more grit.
