The Pittsburgh Penguins have a Hollywood-script opportunity at revenge against the New York Rangers as the post-season kicks off tonight for the two rivals. Can the potential to avenge last season’s early exit motivate this team?
As I’m sure all Pittsburgh fans will remember, last season the Rangers were able to erase a three-games-to-one deficit in the Eastern Conference semi-finals to storm back and take the series in seven games. A first-round elimination of the Rangers would sure send the Penguins into the second round with some momentum and confidence.
I know what you’re thinking. The Pittsburgh Penguins did not make a very good case for revenge in the regular season series with New York.
