3 point game for philly & columbus

Great, PHI-CBJ going to overtime. Lol.

 

[NYR94]

Hayes won it in OT

 

[bl02]

Flyers have a decent team and a good coach this year. They are at very worst getting first wild card but probably 3rd seed in metro.

Great, 3 point game. Just what we didn't want.

At this point I'm just rooting for the Islanders to miss.

Islanders and Columbus due to injuries are the teams to catch. Carolina is a good team that is missing Hamilton, but it's not like CBJ.

The route to a playoff spot comes down to passing those two teams. CBJ more specifically, since there are 3 games in hand a 7pts back. OT point hurts, but it's not critical, yet.

Gotta love the artificial parity in the NHL thanks to these 3 point games. League should have went to 3 point regulation wins a decade ago

I just meant because it would be funny, lol. I'm almost ready to give up on our chances. The loss to Boston and Philly-Columbus OT really screwed things up.

It would be hilarious if the Islanders missed. I still think there is a solid chance the Rangers end up higher in the standings than the Islanders.

Honestly just only getting one point for a shootout win should be only other way to get points imo. Further devalues the shootout and makes it something you don’t want to happen.

If the Isles can't figure out a way to occasionally put the puck in the net, Lee is going to be asking Panarin to pass the popcorn.

Their miracle run earlier this season was the biggest sham ever.

I'd take the Rangers over them in 5 in a playoff series right now.

AV is a great regular season coach, but in the playoffs he’s terrible imo.

I root for the Isles to miss at any point. F them and their delusional fans.

yes he is. They are easy on pace for 20 plus points compared to last year

 

[NYR94]

Tonight's the night of ex-Rangers--Shattenkirk just scored on a deflection off the skate of Nick Holden.

They're terrible on the road, and haven't even done their western Canada trip yet. 10 road games in March. Scored 2 goals combined in their last 4 games.

horrendous that Chayka thought Hall would be a difference maker. His charts and pie graphs look good but he's not a winner.

Having a full time and healthy Carter Hart will do that. Their record with him last year was very good as well.

Chayka is a dope.

 

[bl02]

How does John Chayka still have a job??? What a joke Arizona is. Isn't he some analytic "genius"???

 

[bl02]

Having a full time and healthy Carter Hart will do that. Their record with him last year was very good as well.

But Brian Elliot has a pretty good record as well. I understand some Ranger fans will never admit he's a good coach so will leave it at that. I have no doubt he is part of the reason they are much improved this season.

haha man we were posting pretty much the same post. I hope JG builds the Rangers opposite of how Dubas and Chayka are building their respective teams.
