Monster game Saturday. Hopefully we expose the Rangers for the frauds and pretenders they are. It's gonna be a smackdown.

About them Rangers, I swear no team has benefited more this season from getting that 1 point from going to OT. I guess good for them for taking advantage of it but I don't think they are as good as their point total.

The Rangers are as good as Lunkwist and their power play, it's pretty much that simple. 

Saturday is a must-win from the standpoint of the tiebreaker; if somehow we end up tied in points for eighth, the Rags have already won the head-to-head.

Huge game today, it's basically a four point game for the Pens.

Man, it sure was sweet watching the Scabs disappear in the rear view; next up, the Canadiens.  I really want the last game of the season to mean nothing to nobody.

NYR@CAR

Friday's games:
TOR@PHI (Tie Domi where have you gone?)

Saturday's games:

NYR@BOS
PHI@OTT
MON@TOR

Finally, we got a little break last night with Philly and Buffalo losing even though Buffalo is pretty much irrelevant at this point.  The next two games are going to be a tough test.  Finishing in Montreal will be no easy task.  We always tend to struggle when playing in Montreal, no matter how bad or good the Canadiens are playing.
