The Series is actually not over.

Last time that I checked, it actually takes 4 wins to win a series, not 3. One of the only two teams in NHL history to blow a 3 game lead? The Penguins. Early this season, the Rangers beat the Penguins three consecutive games, they can do it again. No one knows how a game 7 would go, that's always a toss-up. The Rangers have outplayed the Penguins in every game this series, and have fallen on some tough luck and poor goaltending. Who the hell knows what will happen if King Henry actually remembers that he's supposed to keep that little rubber disk out of the netting set up directly behind him.

Go Rangers!

The Rangers have outplayed the Penguins in every game this series???????????? Please explain that to me. The only game the Rangers had the majority of shots and the majority of scoring chances was game 3 and the Pens still won by two goals. You make an interesting point by saying the Rangers have beaten the Pens 3 games in a row during the season and that they can do it again. The problem is that that was during the SEASON, and the playoffs are a completely different animal. Plus Sid the Kid missed a good portion of the season dealing with injuries, so I don't think you can make a realistic comparison. The series is over. It might end tommorow or the Rangers might extend it to game 5 but in the grand scheme of things it makes little difference. CincyReds explain to me how it's relevant to say that the Penguins are a team that's blown a 3 game lead before? That was a different series, against a different team, and that was 33 years ago. A better comparison would be to say, the Rangers have about as much of a chance to come back and win the series as your Cincinnati Reds do of winning the NL Central this year. Geno for MVP...GO PENS!!!!!

p.s. The only Ranger fan I agree with on any of these posts is Meg because the Penguins have gotten most of the bounces and breaks in the series. However, like she said sometimes you do need a little bit of luck to win and I think usually the best team ends up getting the luckiest.

How about going over to your own forum? Unlike some people on these things, I am not about whining about poor calls, and I haven't gloated or talked trash or anything. I started this post to simply remind fans of both teams that the series is not over yet, and to inspire my fellow Rangers fans. Your right, it really isn't relevant that the Penguins blew a 3-o lead, but I don't care. History tends to repeat itself. The Rangers have completely outplayed the Penguins, and I don't understand the comment about the first 10 minutes of Game 1...the Rangers scored twice in the second period..Yes, they blew a three goal lead, but to stake yourself to a three goal lead lends more to the thought process of domination. Coming back and winning is desperation. Therefore, the Rangers outplayed the Pens, they just got complacent and unlucky, the winning goal went off of a shin, if you recall. As far as Game 2, Fleury stood on his head and played a great game. The Rangers had a multitude of chances and just didn't convert. Oh, well. You can't even argue Game 3. 29-17 in shots the Rangers had more than 10 more scoring chances, hit two posts, missed two open nets, and gaffed on two 5-on-3s. The Rangers are a solid hockey team that just had a rough stretch, and this series is not over. I love people like you who assume that too, cause when we do win it 4-3, you're the most fun to see absent on these boards.

In Conclusion, if you want to talk about how great you think the Pens are, do it on the right message board.
