Pens vs Rangers- Game 5

[psu00]

It's do or die time. I have no dog in the fight but the Pens don't exactly seem fired up for an elimination game. What are people's thoughts on the Pens ability to make this a series?

They have no chance. The Rangers are too good a team to lose 3 in a row, especially with 2 of those at home.

I agree it's pretty slim at best but as a Flyers fan I just think of the Boston playoff series a few years ago. Just win 1 game.

That's all they can do. I think if they can win tonight, they will win at home. Then they'll go back to NY and get blown out, or lose on some fluke goal.

Well, tied up at second intermission. Pens are ruined by injuries. I'm watching, and I'll be watching Sunday if we win tonight, but it's hard to have a lot of optimism. We can't score at all.

Damn Sidney fires one off the crossbar - prolly Pens best chance. Still even halfway thru the 3rd. MAF playing great - would be a shame to waste such a strong effort.

MAF definitely the star so far. He's playing a great game. I know the Pens have injuries but this team now reminds me of some Pens teams from a decade or so ago where they just got outmuscled at key times. It's been a very entertaining game (and I'm sure ulcer producing for Pens fans). Should be a great OT.

Did I just hear the organist at MSG play the Würm section of Starship Trooper? Sounded great!

What the heck are you talking about....earth to Relayer.

Alphalion, the organist played the Würm section of Starship Trooper between stoppages in the OT. I wouldn't make that stuff up. Starship Trooper is a classic Yes song.
