Not sucking anyones balls, it just makes fans look like idiots when they blame the return of one guy for them losing when he had nothing to do with any goals scored on us. They were on a roll without Maata and Zatkoff too correct?
He's not why they lost, but the chemistry was altered. How can you deny that? Schultz sat for Maata and he was horrrid. Their game is off and it's tough for them to jump right in. I understand that and how long do you keep them on he bench? There's no right or wrong answer. They are a different team with Malkin in the line-up. They jelled for 15 out of 17 games w/o him. Like I said, they didn't lose because of him, but they were not the same team. Something was off. We'll see how tonight goes if Sat was a fluke.

They need Shultz back. I dont think team chemistry per se was the issue. But the Pens did play a different game plan. Too much rushes up into the slot and not getting opportunites to put shots on Lundqvist. Both of Kessels goals came from playing the puck outside and distributing into the guy who was gonna shoot. So if the Pens catch on to that they can easily figure out the Rangers
I never said you were an idiot, unless you're blaming solely Malkin for the loss?

ha ha
No it wasn't all Malkin's fault - I thought he looked pretty good for the most part - it's just not a good time to reshuffle all the lines for one guy - that's what i'm saying
and he IS just one guy
Leave him with Sid, I'm OK with that, but if they are doing it to save his ego from being bruised by putting him on the 3rd line then I have a problem

No one is an idiot lol
And Coryea,
The team needs Malkin but they need to implement him gradually. Geno is an all-star NHLer. He'll get back up to speed

Glad MM is in net. Hope we kick some Ranger *** tonight!
Geno looking feisty early. Love it!!
I hope so too! Good start. Rangers settled down the pace. Get back to fast hockey. Good challange by Sullivan. Obvious off-sides but its MSG
True. They did pelt Santa with snowballs back in the day
Good little bout of hockey there. Then Geno with a penalty
I think we have found our game again. Looks a lot better. Sid scoring is big!
Elvis has left the building! Solid game. Solid win!

Good bounce back win. Would have liked another goal or two, but I'll take the overall performance. They really clamped down on the Rags. Only time they got on the board was when the PP fell asleep. Thank the maker Murray is back in net.
Sid's line was having their way with rags. Wore them out. Sheary and Crosby tiring out the opposition on the boards was a thing of beauty. King Henry isnt as invincible as many make him out to be. Time to take this series over
Agree with you and Spike. He's GOD lol. The guy is never phased I love it
