Mimosas or bloody marys instead of beer? Hockey tournament here so I'll probably only catch glimpses of NYR live. Pens on back-to-back so Rangers need legs early if you're rooting for win. I'm rooting for spirited defensive struggle where Rangers lose by one in regulation.

[Phil]

Bloody Marys.

[CBrowningPI]

So, who's in net today?

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Hopefully no one

[Bugg]

Jack Hughes in a Mo Rivera jersey...wishful thinking?

[Stephen]

This is a great story about Charlie Capola. A perfect example of why Hockey is truly for everyone

[paddynyc]

With lots of horseradish

 

Yes and sea salt around the glass

That might have been the worst hooking call I've ever seen on Shat

Penalized for good defense.

[Kevin]

Tony D really looking like a weapon. This guy needs to stay in the lineup.

[Rangers]

Anyone think ADA should be a good top 6 winger?

[Rangers]

Great vision, Nice pass, no conversion.

[Stephen]

Goal by Letang, Assisted by Shattenkirk.

 

How much are we paying him to play like this?

[paddynyc]

Zucc getting on the board

Solid first, both Georgiev and DeSmith sharp. Neither goalie can be thrilled (Shattenkirk's skate, own goal at Penguins end), but skaters trying to make plays, puck luck. Good action at both ends. Penguins need this to get back into playoff position, so motivated. Good snarl. Wonder if Penguin mustard uniforms are a nod to Heniz 57, why mess with the classic black and gold look?

[CBrowningPI]

Makes sense putting mustard on the weiners

[CBrowningPI]

Kreider looked a little sleepy out there.

[paddynyc]

Fuck Malkin douche
