As an Islanders fan, I was really hoping that the Rangers rolled over and died being down 2-0 last night, but props to them for battling back. Hoping some of these series get to a magical game 7.

New York Rangers Jacob Trouba will not have a hearing for his hit on Sidney Crosby. Plus Igor Shesterkin up for Hart Trophy.

Great news, but I’m pretty shocked. Finally a reasonable response from the player safety people with a hit involving Crosby/Pens.My friend Larry Brooks with the newsRangers Roundup: No hearing for Jacob Trouba, Igor Shesterkin Hart Trophy finalist, and more

Should be interesting to hear the Pitt crowd get on Trouba anytime he touches the puck on Friday. Keep your head up Jacob!
I hope I am wrong but this feels a lot like the 1992 Rangers-Penguins series. Let's hope the Rangers win Game 6 & 7. Can't stand the Penguins. I root again them no matter who they play. Goes back to Lemieux through Crosby & Malkinstein. Hate that the NHL favors them in every way.
In other news, Shesterkin is a Hart finalist as MVP.
Despite the fact that McDavid has Draisatl, and Matthews has Marner, I still don't think he'll win. But, I think an argument could be made, and he certainly belongs in the conversation.
Without Shesterkin, the Rangers do not finish anywhere near the top of the division.

It's been a bland start to the playoffs so far. High scoring, but not enough close games.
Some game 7's would be a nice way to ramp up the excitement levels.
He didn't drop down to avoid a hit, he stumbled because when Trouba went for the pokecheck, he missed the puck and got Crosby's skate. Then Trouba pulled his arm up to avoid a tripping penalty and inadvertently caught Crosby up high with his arm. This wasn't even close to being worthy of a hearing, let alone result in a suspension. At MOST it's a minor for elbowing or hit to the head, but it went uncalled as it probably would at least 50% of the time since it was accidental, so be it.
Good point.....including the reminder that not even a minor penalty was called.
They’re going to be tough on Igor also.
Those two should have fun with it.
Nothing better than getting booed on the road
Four Game 6’s tonight. Teams fighting for their lives. Should be good.
3 of 4 games last night will now go to Game 7. Hopefully a similar result for the Rangers tonight. Love Game 7's.
The Pens announced that Crosby won't be playing in tonights game. Hopefully Reeves will be on the ice during his first shift to help. The arena will be filled with boo's all game for Trouba and Igor. Hopefully the Rangers can bring the series back to the Grden.
With Motte able to play, Reaves should be nowhere near the ice and the Rangers could play an effective fourth line against an injury depleted Pens team.
Of course , I don’t believe Gallant will actually sit Reaves tonight.
Mika is sleep walking.
Kreider, I have no idea what he’s doing.
The entire series.
Strome also
Mika has 5 goals in 36 career playoff games. This is what he is, a guy who plays on the perimeter and avoids contact, which works in the regular season but not in the playoffs.
His contract extension hasn’t even taken effect yet and it might be the worst contract on the team.
Nice of Gallant to feel sorry for the Pens missing so many players by only dressing 11 forwards and Reaves.
There is no one to lead. A guy like Goodrow would be key here, but there isn't a lot or very good leadership on this team (esp w playoff experience).
How’s that for timing a post? I will be happy to eat crow if the reason is Zibanejad going on one of his “regular season” type runs
Really good pass intercept by Malkin.
Don't have to like it to appreciate it. Good play.
