It's Pittsburgh In the Second Round

Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report writes...

"Pittsburgh it is, thanks to the Flyers win in OT moments ago.

If the Rangers are going to Montreal, it wouldn’t be until the Eastern Conference finals.

Game 1 in Pittsburgh is scheduled for Friday, with Game 2 to be played Sunday afternoon on NBC. I don’t have a full schedule yet, but I would imagine Games 3 and 4 at the Garden would be Tuesday and Thursday."

...Barry Melrose just picked Pittsburgh to win the series. Ranger fans everywhere should be rejoicing.

...it should be one heck of a series. If there's one positive to playing Pittsburgh, while I'm sure it'll be a crazy scene in Pittsburgh, it won't nearly be as raucous as it would have been in Montreal. And we all remember how the Rangers wilted under the pressure of the Montreal crowd.

...the Rangers went 5-3 against the Penguins this year including 4-0 at home.

The only problem I have with playing Pitt is her majesty Crosby gets every single call. One of these days the NHL will get it right. if someone dives and flops around like a little bitch, they shouldn't draw penalties.

Our Captain never dives, and he gets hooked, slashes and interfered with all the time. He doesn't dive or complain. Yet Barbra Cosby dives and complains. What a c-nt.
