Well the Rangers blew that 3-0 lead in the first game and ever since that its like they've lost complete confidence. Pittsburgh in 4. Goodbye NY back to back 2nd round knockouts. Who will they sign now?
NY has not lost to Pitt yet. They have beat themselves both games. Yes, NY had Pitt on the ropes in the first game so they can definately play with PItt and win.
I can see the series making a huge swing over the next 4 days or so. PItt has yet to lose in the playoffs this year and it will be interesting to see how they will react. I personally think that NY comes out guns blazing in the next two. If the series goes back to PItt tied at 2, I think the momentum will have swung.
For us guys out West that do not get a lot of east coast games, I just have one thing to say.
Henrik Lundqvist is the most talent goalie playing hockey today.
