Around the NHL: Part XXXIII

[TheBloodyNine]

There no point in really getting bent out of shape over these other games.

The Rangers need to take all 3 meetings against the NYI to even have a shot. If it comes down to a matter of 1 or 2 points at the end there are will be a billion different things we can point to as factors but its doubtful that they even make it THAT close. Like beating the Devils 4 times in a row is cute, but they're bound to lay a few eggs before the end of the season (hell, they laid a few vs the Devils, but they suck.)

I'll double down on my previous bet. They win all 3 - it's another $100 to Garden of Dreams.

Moneypuck’s updated analytics give us a 27.6% chance at making the playoffs.

All four teams above us are in striking distance. We only need ONE of them to have a poor stretch here.

Probably true but One min we are rooting against one team. Next min against another. Next min against another. Just not enough track left since we dug a hole for ourselves

I just want the boys to do as well as they can. I know that sounds silly but scoreboard watching is too much for me. Win as much as possible and see where the chips lay.

 

[egelband]

I don't see Washington making a serious run despite the good record. They just don't defend well. 20th in goals against this year.

They’re probably going to be better defensively in the playoffs. We’ve all seen it before. Veteran team conserving energy. They step up when it counts.

 

[egelband]

That's boarding regardless of the injury. I may have overstated the suspension implications before seeing the replay, but that's clearly an illegal hit.

That hit today on Lindgren looked horrible. I couldn’t believe he just got up like nothing happened. What a warrior.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I highly recommend the Stars-Wings game just for the jerseys. Holy ****ing christ, they're awful.

how about 200?

I’ll match you.

What a great bet. Probably everyone here would happily part with 2 bills, if the Rangers were "guaranteed" 3 reg. wins vs Islanders soon a coming. I know I would. Because...... THAT would certainly put them RIGHT THERE.

 

[Larrybiv]

Sorry if I did mention already, that we are over . 500. NOT NHL 500.
The GF/GA and many other team stats indicate the Rangers"should be" a PO team, and yet, here we are. This team has MASSIVELY overachieved, and IDC who here wants to shoot them down for this, than and the other Quinn.
I am enjoying this year, pity those that aren't.

that's the infuriating aspect of the team. I truly believe they are capable of going on a massive run here... We have that much talent.

The sleepwalking periods and choking is hard to digest, no matter the reason.

I think we get 5 out of 6 points. Would not be surprised of the sweep. Have to limit the OTs

Absolutely.

Fox no longer leads the league in d-man points. He needs to go on another heater. Only 3 points during the Debs series.

Stars look like a roller hockey team.

You know it says something when a player only posts 3 points and 4 games and we joke about him.

He's just that unreal.

 

[aufheben]

Nice, Islanders with 9 goals in their last 6 games lol.

This is how I should feel about him not winning the Norris trophy, but it’s still going to make me excessively angry.

 

[Richard Banger]

Pretty sure Panarin alone has 9 goals in his last six games.

not really tho but it’s a funny joke

12 points, but close enough.

 

[bl02]

Man Montreal's offense is completely invisible right now. So lucky Vancouver and Calgary are the teams that are "chasing" them

That division sucks for travel, but holy shit is that fourth playoff spot looking pitiful.

Kind of strange, huh? 18 goals vs Devils and only 3 from Foxy.
Probably a good thing. Shows we can score, even if he isnt playing his best. Tonight he has a big game, please?

My turn to say.......this is the biggest game of the season. Lol.

 

[Larrybiv]

Nice, Islanders with 9 goals in their last 6 games lol.

And we have given up only 10 in our last 6.
Would have been nice symmetry had it been only 9.

Those 2 stats, really make you think the Isles may break out tonight. HELL NO!
Just hoping its action packed, despite the way they play. I feel we will have to be physical and initiate.
Our Rangers have to KNOW they have to play better tonight.

 

[DialUp]

It is kind of looking like the North might still have to be a thing in some form next year because of the shitty Canadian vax situation. If that is the case, we thinking they will keep the other divisions the same?
