Crosby doesn’t show up in the big city

Things haven’t been going so great for the Penguins lately. A night after getting owned by the Flyers in Philly 8-2, the Pens rolled into New York hoping for a different outcome, their hopes didn’t come true. They were completely outplayed in every way and lost to the Rangers 4-0.

It was clear that this was going to be a long game for the Pens early. Within the first two minutes the Rangers had already scored, don’t blink.

Gomez netted two as the Rangers dismantled the Pens 4-0.
