The win/point streak begins again!
The Rangers secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Penguins in a pre-turkey defensive showcase. Quick was impenetrable, stopping all 32 shots he faced from the Pens – marking his 60th career shutout, but only his first against Pittsburgh. The lone goal of the night came from Lafreniere, who found the net early in the first period. Jarry made 35 saves for the Pens, matching Quick’s performance but for the one goal given up.
The game was not without controversy, as both teams had complaints about what passes for “fine” officiating in the NHL. Pittsburgh believed they had tied the game up during a power play in the first period when Hinostroza beat a gloveless Quick, but the goal was disallowed after a successful offside challenge by the Rangers. Of many questionable calls, the Rangers were upset over a 3rd period hooking call on Goodrow that looked to be an airborne dive by one time Ranger Ryan Graves.
Notes:

The boys in stripes weren’t enough to beat Quickie
Loved Kreider burying Letang last night…he was pissed after Letang checked him from behind…he should get pissed a lot more
Hopefully the team doesn’t go overboard on the turkey today, the Filth have been playing surprisingly well of late
pens lose the Minx is thrilled!
Great bounceback game and nice to see us win a tight one on the road like that. Is it too early to ask “Is there a goalie controversy in NY?” (ducks!). Happy Thanksgiving all.
Perhaps the most important part of this win is they won a very defensive game after a horrible effort two days before. So not only no losing streak, but a return to structure and effort necessary to be successful in NHL.
Minx there is a rumor that the bird the missus has in your oven today is not a turkey 😱
happy Thanksgiving, all!
The Filth were useless last night. Rangers better win tomorrow.
Filth beat ANA, LAK, CAR, LGK and CBJ before dropping one to the Icelanders last night.
Beezle
Bite your tongue!
This is why I don’t get bent out of shape about every game.
Happy Thanksgiving all.
Big weekend for yo boys in blue
Just win baby
Happy Thanksgiving you Boneheads!
I imagine the dirty birds had their fill of turkey last night.
I know what I’m wishing when we break that wishbone next week!
I what Franky V for Christmas
Thankful to shut out the pens ahead of the holiday. Doo bee doo bee doo
I think keeping Wheeler on the our underperformed, so called 1st line is a travesty, borderline with crime. Sniper he is not, skating rather slow, lack of former physicality in his big body, so – no policing and punishing functions here either, as well as much of noticeable spirit and desire. If nothing else he is a crew’s brake in this line. I would like to bring back Kakko until and if they could get a bona fide RW. Until it happens, our 1st line is undoubtedly Panarin’s.
Wheeler is a flat tire
Wheeler is in a roll. Panarin IS a roll.
Mamale pushing her 12 year old in baby carriage answers questioner: ‘Of course he can walk, but why should he?’
* typo – ‘Wheeler is ON a roll.’
Wheeler actually knows where the net is and shoots ..Kakko not so much
Even when Kakko smiles it looks like his face hurts.
Love to see Frenchie leaving thru the tunnel with a big chit-eating grin on his mug.
That kid loves hockey. Loves it! (Laffy)
Hey, BDL… stop lurking. Join the conversation!
Kreider laying letang out was one of my favorite moments of the year
Letang likes to go after guys dirty with cheap shots from behind.
Tried to get vesey way after the play shortly after the Kreider hit too. Lunged for the back of his sweater.
Minx: handy guide for you

Finns can be a lot of fun once they are comfortable around you. Kind of like squirrels in the park, takes a while before they accept you.
My dad is Finnish (and Swedish)
For a gift my parents got us two coffee cups
One says “you can always tell a Finn, but you can’t tell them much”
The other “living with a Finn builds character “
There will be a go-time around noon. There may or may not be a post writeup given back/back 1pm starts. CCCP on deck for Bruins game! I’ll be in NJ tomorrow hopefully watching the game, though with two Derbil’s fans 🤷♂️
Anyone know the story of Penguins tanking for Lemieux, and does anyone know the story of how Penguins landed up with draft pick for Crosby? Was that an inside job within the NHL to reward Mario for his purchase of the Pens?
Admiral
Could that be just of the reason why “I hate the pens?”
