There are few better ways to exact revenge on an opponent than to knock them out once the playoffs get underway. Last year, the New York Rangers took out the Pittsburgh Penguins in 5 games on the way to the Eastern Conference Final, but this year it is the Penguins who have drawn first blood in their opening round match-up. It was a rather overwhelming win for the Pens in the opening game, and while winning the first game is no guarantee of winning the series, there now has to be some doubt in the heads of the Rangers players, as that loss means that they have now lost 4-straight to Pittsburgh. The whole complexion of the series can change if the Rangers pick up the win in Game 2, while a loss could have them heading home with what would feel like the weight of the world on their shoulders.
