Mike Milbury just nailed it about Tom Renney’s passive philosophy of sitting back during the NBC intermission segment with mad scientist Pierre McGuire. Totally amazing.

Truthfully, the Rangers aren’t playing poorly and probably deserve to be at least tied but the stupid refs missed a Pen hook and then made a weak slashing call BECAUSE IT WAS CROSBY which hooked them up with a two-man advantage. Not surprisingly, their best player Evgeni Malkin capitalized ripping his 46th past Henrik Lundqvist for a 2-1 lead.

They’ll need to kill off the last 11 seconds of Michal Rozsival’s penalty and continue attacking. They’ve generated some good chances off the cycle. Shoot the puck and go to the net. Good things will happen.
