There is something a bit masocistic about reading the Penguin blogs after the Rangers and Prince Henrik collapsed in the third period against the Pens. Pitt won 6-2, scoring 5 in the 3rd. Some self flagellation couldn't hurt the Rangers after yet another blow-out in Pittsburgh.
The Pensblog:
STUNNED-QVIST. PENS WIN --
We hate to use an old joke, but Henrik Lundqvist must be pregnant, because he missed a period...Becoming a Penguin whipping boy has its advantages. Eventually, the beatings become so commonplace that the master develops feelings for their poor serf.
The Pensblog:
NY RANGERS --
Our hatred for the Rangers keeps decreasing every time a Red Wing player or fan speaks. Rangers fans just don't seem so obnoxious as they once did. That'll probably change during tonight's game, when Naslund scores some debilitating goal and points to Craig Patrick...Igloo Dreams:
The Pens weren't exactly dominant, and King Henrik certainly wasn't great, but the two points went to the guys in black...Empty Netters [with great pictures]:
Lundqvist didn't look very good in parts of the All Star weekend, and that continued tonight. He made a few big saves, but he wasn't able to make the few that mattered...
18:49: What that? When did Minard-Staal-Sykora become the Michel Ouellet Memorial Line? Jordan Staal controls the puck in the corner and just kind of flicks a backhander without any particular purpose near the net. It hits off LUndqvist's leg and goes in. That's not even a garbage goal. It counts though. "Hey Song." Ryan Whitney gets the only assists. Penguins 2-1.ICINGS:
3:39: The roof has just caved in here for the Rangers and Lundqvist. Letang comes rushing up ice against Mara and simply whips a wrister by Lundqvist. That was like a 1980s Paul Coffey goal. Lundqvist did little to challenge that. Malkin gets the only assist. Penguins 5-2.
1:40: Wow, when was the last time the Penguins just poured it on like this? Malkin fights off two Rangers along the boards and dishes a feed to Carosby in the slot. Crosby spins and whips a dazzling backhanded shot to the far side on Lundqvist. Lundqvist looks like he needs a hug. Maybe he still thinks this is the All-Star Lame Game. Malkin gets the only assist. "Hey Song." We wonder what Sergei Kostitsyn thinks of that goal. Penguins 6-2.
-Crosby had his fourth four-point game of the season.

WHO IS NHL'S BEST DEFENCMAN (WITHOUT THE PUCK)? -- Brooks Orpik, PITT
update: Yet another Rangers beat writer, Sam Weinman, bites the dust. Does this imply that golf is more interesting than Renney hockey?
Sam Weinman / Journal News [LoHud.com]:
One move before the trade deadline you probably didn’t expect: me --
After 12 years at The Journal News — the last three of which were spent writing for the most devoted fans in sports — I am leaving to pursue a career in another sport I love, as a senior editor at GolfDigest.com. The timing of the move isn’t great, and I admit it comes with a tinge of sadness. But it’s also an opportunity I’m fortunate to have, and a new phase of my life I’m eager to enter...
