Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 They really called penalty on the first Penguins we touched and then refused to call anything else. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes for very choppy play with refs constantly changing momentum of the game. I don’t like it. Call the major stuff, sure. Let the penny ante stuff go. Almost seems the other way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when he's at the wall he throws a weak backhand hopeful pass. Crosby would challenge one of the D's there, not skate away from them. That's the difference. Exactly. Crosby would force a D to draw towards him. Ziby just tries to hide from the d lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Maybe it's time to construct a line to counter Crosby? Swap Zibanejad and Copp. Stick Copp out there against Crosby at center. Plop Zibanejad on the RW with Panarin. Hopefully that gets their offense going Worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 My god are we really complaining about the refs? If you want to earn a power play go tot he next a draw one. Take a hit to make a play. Engage in the game. If you stay on the perimeter the enrie game you make it awfully easy on the Pens and the refs not to call shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the 3-2 goal in game two. Crosby in the exactly same position. Instead of taking a skate around the outside he skates directly inside towards the left D, forcing him to defend against Crosby. The left D gets caught out and Guentzel scores. Mika? Takes a casual skate around the outside and just throw the puck towards the crease and hope for something.

Cr00zng Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The first period ain’t much different from last Monday’s game. They trying hard, but not playing smart. The Pitts on the other hand just take what the Rangers give them and outplay the Rangers in Avery aspects of the game, including the goalies…..

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I get The whole idea of a young team learning the ropes in a playoff series before they’re ready to take the next jump. thing is, you expect that young team to show up. Some mistakes? Fine, I’d accept that. this isn’t a team Learning to play playoff hockey. This is a team watching an experienced opposition and not learning from it. 0 effort, 0 accountability, 0 urgency. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG and Drury needs to understand that. The 2nd and 3rd line center needs to better defensively, so Mika and his line can focus on the offense. We can't have Mika be a shutdown C and at the same time expect him to carry us offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Time to go nuclear and juggle the lines completely. Lafreniere is one of the only guys buzzing out there. Vatrano too. Pair those guys and give them lion’s share of the minutes. I’d try Lafreniere-Copp-Vatrano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Panarin is so much better when he's skating all over the ice, not just standing on the left side. Why is he so stationary? I know he can, he's done it before. He's just so easy to play when he just stays on the left side. The right D just takes him out all the time and he's neutralized for the entire shift. Why not try and shake off the defenders? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Pete Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Rangers need to be tougher in the low/high slot…getting killed this series in the home base…Pitt is fine with the Rangers chasing and throwing big hits in the corners and along the boards; opens up the middle…From the last few games, many of the goals are coming from guys deflecting shots who have a spectator standing next to them…no body on body, no stick on stick…nothing… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
