I know it's smart defense but it's so boring seeing 5 people collapse into the low slot on every shot and then chip the puck out.

The Rangers are doing a good job of taking away shooting lanes and they're collapsing down low on every shot to take away rebounds. You pretty much need to find a clean first shot to get one in, which leads to lots of passing and cycling.

I like how a young guy makes a good play and that's "youthful enthusiasm" and then an old guy makes the exact same good play and that's "veteran experience".

Coach's job is to win games, not entertain fans :banjo:

Seriously though, if the strategy is effective, and there's no denying that it is very effective at least against the Pens, there's zero reason for them to change it.

I don't want them to or expect them to, but that doesn't mean we have to like watching it.

Im late but I was stuck on the highway in a blizzard so; Andreas Athanasiou played for my local OHL team and he was really good and it made me sad when Detroit drafted him instead of a team I like.

Also Im not sure who the lesser evil is in Rangers/Pens, but I really like Mats Zuccarello so go Rags I guess?

Its how they play in the playoffs though, no surprise they're doing it aginst the pens because they're likely to get matched up against each other

I really hope they are the #2 and #3 because at least one of you fucks will be eliminated in the first round.
