All-time win?

Devils are a razor-thin favorite.

Maybe not "all time all time" ala most playoff wins of the Rangers thru history type of win. And yes a bit of hyperbole on my part.

That said, for the Rangers to win this game with the odds stacked severely against them, it would go way up there in my mind as a win I'd remember for a long time.

I really don't care what Vegas is saying. They have their own agenda and want bets on both teams so of course they aren't going to have the Debs installed as heavily favorites. But in reality they are.

I've been following hockey a long time like you have and we both know that emotion plays a huge role often times who win a hockey game. Well tonight is one of those nights where the Debbies have everything possible and more going for them despite their horrid record.

And newsflash...they aren't as bad as their record indicates from my observations of watching them this season.

If we can as I say hang with them and have the game be in doubt late into the 3rd period, I'd consider that a victory. I just have a hunch they might blow us out of the building....we'll see soon enough.

I mean you couldn't in a hundred years pick a worse scenario for us heading into tonight's game. I know I couldn't come up with anything like this before. It's as if the hockey gods decided to troll us when they got together on one of their weekly conference calls and it went something like this:

"You know what?...Ranger fans are a bit too giddy with how things are going with their team. Us gods really screwed up and let them have the 2nd overall pick but worse than that we really dropped the ball and let them make some trades and UFA signings which we thought would backfire but unfortunately it looks like they won't and now the Ranger fanbase is happy and hopeful....we don't want to screw them this whole year as they are loyal long time fans but just to keep these Ranger fans humble, let's put obstacles that no team even the 1984 Oilers could overcome and we'll do **** like this and troll these mofo's"

Have the Rangers only play 3 scattered games in the first 17 days of the season so as to get no momentum while every other team in the NHL has played 7 or 8 games thus far........CHECK

Have the Rangers play a hated rival in the Devils who haven't won a game all season long and are 0-6 and starving for a win. ....CHECK

Have the Rangers play this hated rival in their barn as it would be too embarrassing for them to lose again and so they will play as if their lives depend upon it.....CHECK

Have the Rangers #2 overall pick Kakko who already got his first NHL goal play head to head vs the #1 overall pick Hughes who still hasn't gotten his first NHL point and must feel an enormous amount of pressure to get this huge monkey off his back.....CHECK

IDid I miss anything?....lol. Obviously I'm having some fun here and playing around but in all seriousness we could not be in a worse possible spot to play a hockey game. I'd bet Gorton has money on the Devils tonight....lol

I'll tell ya what, if we somehow did win tonight, we will know for 1000% sure that Quinn is the right man for the job. I mean I still think he is but tonight would be an all-time win versus incredibly bad odds.

Let's see what happens boys....can't wait and let's hope that Rangers can survive and at the very least have this game in doubt late in the 3rd. I'd settle for that even if we lost.

Very well written and JUST what I'm thinking.

Pair Hughes with Hall and give him 1st line minutes? Check.

I heard a "rumor" there was a Rangers game tonight.
Devils with a HUGE tanking advantage over us thus far. Can they conceivably be worse than we probably might be? I am excited for this season, but expectations are very low.....as they probably should be. Doesnt mean it wont be a good season though.

Cheers my brother. When one goes on a tangent drift like I did, you know a tiny bit of alcohol was involved...:nod:

Let's hope the boys don't get blown out and shock the hockey world.

Seriously, I don't care what Vegas says about this game and that's it's "close". This game aint close at all in my book.

Debs are HEAVY favorites to win this game...not even a question about it despite their record.

Poor Lias. Playing with two guys who have career highs of 13 and 11 points. He better SHOW some damn offense.

“Marc Staal is gonna be the Rangers shutdown guy on most nights” - NBC Broadcast. Maybe that’s where Quinn gets the idea.
