There is no panic. I stated that the Pens are still the best team. I just stated the facts as based on statistics kept by the NHL. If you are in a playoff series and Carcillo and Ashem have more goals than you do. Then it is time for you to step to the plate. To win as a team everyone on the team must contribute.

WOW . . . what are you saying? That the blame is the game is on Crosby? On Gonchar? On Bylsma? You just write an article “Win as a team, Lose as a Team” now this article looks like panic city. Teams win and teams lose games in a 7 game series. Thirty-five years with season tickets should have brought you that experience.

A few points from my view:
Asham’s goal was more directly related to Guerin’s surprise drop pass than a Crosby turnover.
The scratch of Sykora and replaced by Dupuis (because that’s what really happened) was a bone-head move by Bylsma. Tortorella did the same by scratching Avery and replacing him with Orr last night. A panic move by a punchless Ranger team. Will Malkin get two new wingers for this afternoon’s game? Will Godard be in the lineup? To me, changing lines around when your up 3-1 in a series is stupid and if this was Therrien doing it we’d be all over DISCO DAN.
Whatever, let’s hope we don’t make it back here for another game. Let’s end it today with a chorus of God Bless America. Bring on Boston! Let’s go Pens.
