GDT: Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Rangers -- Game 6

I'm confident. Felt like a pretty dominant game and 3rd period. Special teams and goalie let them down but I expect a win game 7
Here you go, LL:



Alright, I’m done moping.

I watched every minute of the first four games and none of Games 5 or 6. I'm sorry.

I like the message, but it rings hollow to me because it’s Mears. I don’t know if he’s gotten worse or I’m just really sick of him at this point.

He retaliated. Refs almost always call the 2nd guy. I understand why he did it but you have to be smarter than that up 2-0. It was a huge swing in momentum.

I'll add he retaliated with a shove that would be rise to the level of 2 in a post whistle scrum. It was a legit cross check (penalty) into the boards from behind (penalty).... a dangerous thing to do in a dangerous position. He gets up with the puck right there still and shoves the guy.

I'm with Biz on this one - it's a weak call, and the Rangers continued to take a few more opportunities to board players from behind afterwards.

When you’re always on the receiving end of the big hits, dirty hits, cheap shots, etc.. your chances of advancing through the playoffs with a healthy team go way down. Chances of losing an important player go up. Better to be the hammer than the nail. This is not a one year or one postseason fluke. This is many years running. Don’t need or want an enforcer but you have to be the team dishing at some punishment once in a while. Make the other team play shorthanded or play missing a star or two.
I've had enough series where I play "What if"... decimate the Rangers lineup in the same way, and this series is over in 4... heck decimate most other teams lineup in the same way and I'm not sure how those teams even show up.

Agree the call was weak. It's a **** situation. Still think you just have to skate away on that.

Refs don't call the initial hit...player retaliates...player goes to box. It's like clockwork. Don't agree with it, but it's how it goes.

Situational awareness. They always call the retaliation and you’re up 3-2 in the series and 2-0 in the game. The team melted down in a similar situation last game. You gotta skate away. Granted nobody tried to decapitate me.

It was a weak call but they make it all the time.

E Rod got his stick up high. I think it he gets up and simply shoves him and gets in his face, they call nothing, or even it up. But his stick came up too far and they always call retaliatory fouls like that.

Personally I prefer the game 4 team. The team that shows up and plays hard for 60 minutes, NOT the team that shows up for the 1st period, takes a 2 goal lead, then takes the rest of the night off. Yeah I know Sid was instrumental in that win but still, the whole team needs to show up.

A lot of ERod bashing in this thread. And justifiably so. But you know what? Matheson’s high stick (which led to the Rag’s third goal) looked to be pretty careless to me.

I agree.

The way a team plays with the lead usually determines the winner of a series. Both teams have played horribly when leading. The winner of tomorrow's game will be the team that breaks this trend.

I thought they played pretty well overall with the lead, but at some point your goalie needs to make a timely save for you.

Yup. 2 of the 4 goals Domingue gave up were because he is incapable of consistently glowing a puck down (the PPG people blamed Ruhwedel for, and the GWG).

All you need to do is make a save.
