Where I'm picking up...

So the pens are up 3 to 1 in games and have the Eddie O' on tap to cover game 5 at the igloo. Home ice advantage... the pens have won 20 of the last 24 or so games at home. Yeah it matters. The igloo is loud. Also, this place was built in the late 60s, the hospitality and convenience is not there for the away team. The only thing they have to look forward to in the only arena the pens franchise ever played in are the world class nachos and cheese.
The pens didnt win at MSG all year, so to extend the unbeaten streak to 7 at the gardens was great. To drop game 4 was not "unexpected". Game 5 is depending on the pens if they want to close out the series. If the pens play a half-hearted game and the rangers bring their game to the igloo...the rangers will tie the series at msg and game seven could devastating to the pens.
I believe game 5 is a must win for the pens.
