Pens drop third in a row to the Rangers 3-1

I am not going to go through a full recap tonight....too irritated. The Penguins are now 0-4 against their top 2 divisional rivals, the Rangers and Flyers this season.  They are also 0-12-2 against top conference rivals Washington, Boston, Philadelphia and New York in the Consol Energy Center the past season and a half.  To be fair, they have never had hardly had anything close to their full complement of players during that time, but it is a trend that needs to change.  The Penguins badly outshot the Rangers tonight, but King Henry stood on his head and kept the Rangers in the game during the first part of the first period.  The Penguins took a 1-0 lead on Ben Lovejoy's first goal of the season.  Lundqvuist kept the Rangers within one goal until 18:17 of the first period when Brad Richards tapped in a fat rebound left by Marc Andre Fleury to even the score.  Seconds later Marian Gaborik rang one of the crossbar, but the period ended in a 1-1 tie.  Things took a turn for the worse when Brandon Dubinsky scored on a 3 on 2 shorthanded to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead, which is how the period ended.  A one goal deficit is not that tough to deal with, despite the fact that the 2nd goal came shorthanded.  Just over a minute into the third, Paul Martin misplayed a puck at the Rangers blue line, then kind of watched as Marian Gaborik raced up the wing after it.  Fleury attempted to play the puck, and botched it......badly, and ultimately Stepan put it home to give the Rags a 3-1 lead.  Just when it seemed impossible to catch the Rangers James Neal buried one to make it 3-2 Rangers.  Of course the goal was waved off (5th or 6th time this year?) as Kunitz made incidental contact with King Henry.  To me the contact was made due to the Rangers defenseman's stick between Kunitz's legs.   Thought it was a CHEAP call, and to me likely ended the Pens chances.  Things got worse when Staal left the game late with what appeared to be a serious knee injury.  Losing Staal for any length of time would be devestating for an already injury riddled team, but that is what it appears we have to look forward to.  It is now every game and some practices that at least one player gets hurt.  I have truly NEVER seen anything like it, and it is hard to watch!  Post game we wound up in the elevator with James Neal himself, who seemed a bit frustrated, understandably so.  We also had a chance to meet Scary Gary Roberts, who is a pretty intimidating figure, and Tie Domi who is as ugly as a human gets!  It is a rough patch right now for the Penguins, and they need to find a way out of it, and soon.  I am betting that James Neal has something to do with a big win tomorrow  night against New Jersey.
