The Penguins have arrived at Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Rangers in Game Three of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs! The series is tied up 1-1 after the Penguins had a complete game last night beating the Rangers 3-0. Marc-Andre Fleury earned the franchise record for career playoff shutouts at seven. The Penguins played their best game of the playoffs and it was a complete game for the Penguins. It had to be the best puck management and teamwork I have seen in these playoffs. If the Penguins continue to play more games like they did last night, they will be the last team standing in the end. This game will be a test for the Penguins to see if they can keep this kind of play up. Also it's a great chance for the Penguins to tire out a already tired Rangers team, who has been playing a lot of games in only a few days. Tonight's game will be about having a strong start, so they are not having to kill themselves at the end of the game. Lets Go Pens!
