I really didn’t want to be the Debbie Downer but seeing stupidity like this is too much.
Yes, the Rangers destroyed the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Yes, they played excellently after a rough first ten minutes, although that’s understandable given it’s the first game of the season and it’s the Penguins home opener. It was guaranteed that the Penguins would come out flying. The Rangers weathered the storm and then took the game over.
All of this is accurate. What’s not accurate? Acting like this is the same Penguins of 10 years ago. This is a team in the midst of the final seasons of their legends. They’re not dumping Crosby, Malkin, or Letang to rebuild so they’re riding out their contracts in mediocrity. Pretending that these Penguins are still relevant is stupid.
To their credit the Rangers did what they’re supposed to do when up against bottom feeders – they went out and destroyed them. Acting like this was a major feat is disingenuous. We’re all happy to beat up on the Penguins but let’s not act like they’re still the Penguins of old.

I mean it was a dominant performance against a weaker team, but messages don’t get sent after just one game… Let’s see how it goes against Utah on Saturday, Toronto the following Saturday, and then Florida on the 24th.

it could be message to league if we would win 6:0 against strong team. Flyless birds are not strong team

Kakko with five shots on goal and the only dude on this line without a point is so typical. He has the worst puck luck.

obviously good to win in strong fashion vs anyone. But Pitt is a fringe playoff team at best now.
It’s a message when it’s vs either of the Florida teams, Boston, etc.

Its one game lets everyone R-E-L-A-X.
But seriously though the Rangers may not lose a game all season. From October 9 – June Whenever they will go 98-0 bank on it.

Def not an overreaction at all.

We beat up on the Minnesota Wild to start the season in 22-23 and they got bounced by Akira Schmid later that year. Beat up again on buffalo to start last year and again couldn’t get it done.
Awesome win last night, but I’m not moved until they’re doing this in the playoffs (if they even get there)

When destroying is an understatement lmfao
Should have been 7-0. That offside was SO close.
FOR SAM!!!!!!

The message is that Pissburgh is doo doo
Shitsburgh is old and slow.
