They will eventually come to Earth. They've had a relatively easy schedule so far.

Currently eating up Dallas.

And yet the funny thing about the Winnipeg Jets is that at 5v5 their xG% is 22nd best 48.8% (also below 50% when score adjusted), they have the best PP% in the league, and they have the best save percentage in the league with the best goalie in the league so far.

I.e. the exact formula the Rangers have had in recent years that everyone hates and says you can't win with.

That formula will fail miserably in the playoffs just as it always does.

The captains dropped the gloves.
Heh.

Hellybuck has now kept the puck out of the net for over 188 minutes.

Yeah they will crash back to earth

Not as solid as the Giants.

Mean reversion is going to hit them hard

St Louis blows an extreme amount of ass

 

[Row I Goon]

Canucks making the Oilers look better than they are.

 

[Ben Grimm]

How much do I care about OV's career goals? Not at all. PPG: 1. Gretzky 1.92 / 35. OV 1.09

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Nothing on the Devils getting shutout by the Sharks? Lol

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Blackwood's revenge

Nothing on the Devils getting shutout by the Sharks? Lol

[nsvoyageurs]

Apparently, rumours are/were going around that the Montreal Canadiens had been talking to Gerard Gallant, possibly about their head coaching job. They won today in Buffalo 7-5, but overall they stink defensively, with no structure. Sound familiar?

3 straight shutouts?

 

[eco's bones]

Dallas up 6-0 after one period in Pittsburgh.

Makes me think that Sullivan might not be around very much longer and maybe some trades as well. It's falling apart there.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

lol Pengs

Sullivan will be the next Rangers coach if Drury gets to hire another coach.

A couple of minutes away, lost his stick.

Who the hell is Eric Robinson and why is he scoring like this for the Hurricanes

They have a good system in Carolina. They are the anti-Rangers

 

[SnowblindNYR]

They have a good system in Carolina. They are the anti-Rangers

And yet they got eliminated two of the last three years by the Rangers in the playoffs. Either we accept that playoff hockey is random and in which case the Rangers were a top team in the regular season last year but also Carolina is great, or we put a lot of emphasis on playoff hockey and Carolina is a perennial disappointment.

Didn’t say they’re great.

They have a good system. Rangers have edge in individual talent and that’s what won out those 2 times, barely lol. But a team with system + talent beats us every time
