You Can't Win 'em all.

The Pens suffered their first loss of the post season in game 4 against the NYR in Madison Square Garden. I don't mind when the Pens lose, but the fashion in which they lost was sickening. The Pens showed no effort what so ever and the Rangers barely beat them. By pretty much giving the Rangers the win, I hope it doesn't give the Rangers life. The comforting news about this series is the Pens have home ice advantage which means game 5 will be played in Pittsburgh where the Rangers haven't played well the past two seasons or in this post season. Everything that was working for the Pens they went away from on Thursday. They didn't score on any of their power play opportunities, they didn't kill off the Rangers power plays, and they didn't stay out of the penalty box. With the possibility of Sunday being Jaromir Jagr's last game in his NHL career I expect him to throw everything he has at the Pens similar to what he did in game 4. With the Rangers being beaten up I would hope the Pens to establish their physical game they had in games 1 and 2. The power play also needs not to stand and wait for the Rangers to make defensive moves. The Pens power play looked almost flat and uncaring. Hopefully this changes in game 5. The Mellon Arena should be rocking on Sunday and hopefully that gets the Pens read to play. The Pens will probably be without center Maxime Talbot due his broken foot, so I expect to see Gary Roberts in the lineup and Adam Hall taking over Talbot's roll. The Penguins need to keep their cool and play their game and the end result will end with a hand shake. Lets Go Pens!!!

Key Players:

Pit.-Sidney Crosby, I expect him to come out flying because the Rangers made him angry at the end of game 4 and when Sid is angry, he is and unstoppable force.

NYR-Jaromir Jagr, as I already stated this could be his last NHL game and if so, it will be in front of the crowd that saw him play for the first time.
