An amazing set of pictures here.

Hard not to get jammed up over that pic. Believe that is section D still standing. What a section. God help us.

Feb 21 11:25PM RECAP: Malkin city never sleeps, better slip Lundqvist an Ambien. PENS WIN.

Shutout city for MAF. Third of the season.

Couldn't tell you when the other two were without looking it up.

If tears were gasoline, you could drive your car for unlimited miles with the Rangers' tears. In typical John Tortorella fashion, he tried to work the officials all night. He got calls and non-calls. But in the end he didn't get the win. The Pens played a playoff game that no question made a statement.

The last three Pens games have proven our mantra that we spew ad nauseam about not getting too high or too low. And look at the Pens' position. The Pens won Tuesday night, as did the Flyers and Devils. So the Penguins remain in 6th place. And honestly that isn't a bad position to be in. Who would you rather play: the Flyers/Devils or the Southeast Division winner?

The big thing about this win is that the Pens finally beat the Rangers at home, and they have now beaten them twice in a row. The road to the Cup probably goes down Broadway this year. A Pens/Rangers series would be better than Jeremy Lin's whole life.

Last two games before the trade deadline this weekend. Rick Nash may play his last game in a Blue Jackets uniform on CONSOL ice.
