Game 5 - Second Period Thoughts

That was absolutely miserable. It's like the Rangers forgot how to play hockey. They looked like they were lost on the ice and had no idea what to do. The Pens offensive unit, especially the powerplay, seems almost perfect. Their powerplay has been amazing moving the puck around and getting plenty of quality chances. If not for Henrik and the post then this game could be at least 4 if not 5-0.

The powerplay of the Rangers is the most disgusting thing on ice. They can't even set themselves up for a good chance. Even if we deserved a 4 minute powerplay when Drury got hit in the face and one when the refs called a penalty and decided against it, the powerplay can't score and can't even get shots. It’s disgusting and it is going to have to change or else we lose.

Rozsival is supposed to be the leader of this team and defense and he looks like a rookie playing his first NHL game. I don't think he has hit the net once this whole series and he has been committing some stupid penalties. The Malkin one was a good penalty to take but the other two were so bad. He is a veteran and our number one defensemen and he has to play like that in the third or else. Oh yea and it would be nice if he hit the net with shot just once. Actually it would be nice if the whole team could hit the net more than the glass.

The Rangers look down and absolutely horrible in the second period. They need to get their heads up and play some hockey. They are not out of this game. Its only 2 goals. The Sharks did it last night and won in overtime. We will truly see what this team is made of right now. One period for our entire season.
