.....also looks like Orpik will not go, and Bortuzzo will in his place
Let's Go PENS!
- Thread starter Ironcitysteelers
- Start date
Let's ******* go!!! One more hour and drop that puck(**** da draft)!
I want to see a better effort on defense compared to last game. Maybe with Bort going instead of Orpik will have better rotation. We also need many more shots in net. Let's end this in the burg! Go Pens!!!

Damn he is going. Well he hasn't done ahit anyways.
PITTSBURGH -- New York Rangers forward Martin St. Louis will be in the lineup for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Second Round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Consol Energy Center (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, RDS), one day after the death of his mother.
The Penguins lead the best-of-7 series 3-1.
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said St. Louis learned of the death of his mother France, 63, on Thursday, not long after the Rangers landed here. Vigneault said St. Louis immediately left the team to return to his family's home in Montreal.
Speaking with St. Louis on Thursday and Friday, Vigneault said St. Louis expressed a desire to play in Game 5.
"This morning he said that he talked to his dad," Vigneault said Friday. "And him and his dad both agreed that his mom would want him to be here, and that's what he did."
Vigneault said the decision was St. Louis' alone.
"We had a good talk [Thursday] night, and at the end of the day my message to him was there's more important things than hockey," Vigneault said. "You have to do what's right. You have to take care of your dad. But they got up this morning and they talked and they sorted it out. And he's here."
Vigneault said St. Louis' decision to play reveals a lot about the veteran's character.
"I think that says a lot about him, but it also says a lot about his teammates that he'd want to be here and play [Friday]," Vigneault said. "He's here and we're going to play."
Vigneault scrambled his top three lines at practice Thursday. St. Louis skated on a line with Derick Brassard and Benoit Pouliot. A new-look top line had Derek Stepan centering Chris Kreider and Mats Zuccarello, and another line had Brad Richards between Rick Nash and Daniel Carcillo. Carcillo likely was filling a spot for Carl Hagelin, who did not skate Thursday.
The only players to skate Friday were goaltender Cam Talbot, defensemen Raphael Diaz and Justin Falk, and forwards J.T. Miller and Jesper Fast.
Here are the projected lineups:
RANGERS
Chris Kreider - Derek Stepan - Mats Zuccarello
Rick Nash - Brad Richards - Carl Hagelin
Benoit Pouliot - Derick Brassard - Martin St. Louis
Brian Boyle - Dominic Moore - Daniel Carcillo
Ryan McDonagh - Dan Girardi
Marc Staal - Anton Stralman
John Moore - Kevin Klein
Henrik Lundqvist
Cam Talbot
Scratched: Raphael Diaz, Justin Falk, J.T. Miller, Jesper Fast, Derek Dorsett, Ryan Haggerty
PENGUINS
Chris Kunitz - Sidney Crosby - Lee Stempniak
Jussi Jokinen - Evgeni Malkin - James Neal
Beau Bennett - Brandon Sutter - Joe Vitale
Brian Gibbons - Marcel Goc - Craig Adams
Paul Martin - Kris Letang
Matt Niskanen - Olli Maatta
Robert Bortuzzo - Rob Scuderi
Marc-Andre Fleury
Jeff Zatkoff
Scratched: Tanner Glass, Chris Conner, Taylor Pyatt, Deryk Engelland, Tomas Vokoun
Injured: Brooks Orpik (undisclosed), Pascal Dupuis (knee)

what time does the puck drop?
Sloppy play so far by the pens.
No fire, no legs so far. Down 2. Ahh. Come on boys. Wake up
Down 2-0 and lucky only down by 2. They are playing terrible.
No worries. We always start slow.
PP here we go. Let's get a point
man, they better match the Rangers desperation and fire or they are going to get smoked tonight. That was one of the most uninspiring periods from them in awhile.

Typical Pens. Rangers will be back here to win game 7.
*****. Pens score. Down by one.
Put a fork in it. They'll never score 3 to win this one.
Make that 4.
I ain't hear no fat lady.

It still amazes me that a team comes out and plays so consistently crummy in the playoffs. In any sport. They had a nice 3 game stretch. Now it is back to the Keystone Cops routine apparently. Seems they will never learn.
*****. Still whole period to go
Danger Marc Flower, danger.

**rolls eyes**
The Penguins are not going to score 3 goals against Lundqvist in 1 period.
I'll bet Crosby has some sweet behind the back passes to a Rangers player, though.
sigh, I hate when clev fans come and try to bust balls. I guess its all you have.
