The Rangers march to Pittsburgh

5:29PM | April 25, 2008 | posted by Admin | comments: 1

After the Rangers quickly dispatched the Devils in 5 games, it's on to Pittsburgh to face Sid the Kid and the Penguins. There are some interesting questions to be answered. Will the Rangers veteran team with plenty of playoff experience be able to contend with the Penguins young talent led by 21-year-old Evgeni Malkin and 20-year-old superstar Sidney Crosby? Will Crosby, who is now the face of the NHL, get special treatment from the officials? Will Sean Avery get under the Penguins' skin as he did in the previous series against New Jersey? How will Jaromir Jagr fare against his former team? He had a nice series against the Devils: 2 goals and 6 assists. Who will win the battle in the nets? Henrik Lundqvist, who is a Vezina trophy finalist (best goalie) or Marc Andre Fleury who has lost only twice in regulation in his last 21 decisions. The Penguins have won 10 in a row at home, but are 0-3-1 in Madison Square Garden.

Carlos Delgado Did'nt make a curtian on his 2nd
homerun today because David Wright was waving his hands and saying "don't go, don't go" to him.
