I think there are good statistics and bad statistics and would rather present them correctly than in a misleading manner.

Change is good.

It was a simple aside to give an idea of what kind of winning percentage that would be aligned with.
It wasn't a statistic on success rates, nor was it ever presented as some great numerical indicator.

It won't be enough. Philly would skate in over us playing .500 hockey in that scenario.
If he gets this team into the playoffs, he better win the Calder and get serious Hart consideration.

I think you are going to need 97-98 points to make it in this year. It's not going to happen especially when they sell at tdl.

If he's only giving up 1-2 goals a night we can rattle off 10 in a row lol
What did St. Louis come back from? Or what did they look like with this many games left last year?

3 of the 5 teams directly ahead of the Rangers have recently lost their #1 defenseman for the remainder of the season. On the other hand, the Rangers will probably trade Kreider at the TDL.
If they weren't selling I'd say they have a shot.

Exactly this and besides that and the Rangers needing minimum 98 or more points to even have a shot at playoffs with likely NO Kreider which would mean we would need to be going something like 19-8 in our final 27 games(AINT HAPPENING), they would need Toronto or Florida(either/or who doesn't finish 3rd in the Atlantic) PLUS our boys would need not just one but two of the following Metro teams...Islanders, Jackets, Philly or Carolina to play alot less than .500 the rest of the way in order for the Rangers to even sniff a playoff spot and even than a playoff spot wouldn't be a guarantee.
If there was a ranking of glass half full peeps in here, I'd bet I'd be quite high on the list in here, but I'm simply being realistic and it aint happening folks but that's really OK.
What we should hope for and I've said it a zillion times and I'll say it again, if we can just play good enough to play important March games to give the kiddies experience in what it feels like to play in what seems like "playoff type games" would be wonderful and great experience for them seeing beginning next year, this is what it's going to be like for the next decade or so as we should be not only playoff contenders but Cup contenders as well two or three years down the road!!
So let's cut out the playoff talk Shesterkin or if Hasek circa 1994 showed up and let's embrace how well the rebuild has been going as we are very competitive most nights and are an absolute pain in the ass to have to play against and just hope and pray we can hang around the playoff periphery so that we are playing important hockey games in the month of March...
We do this I for one am a very very happy camper. Maybe some of y'all will join me in this camp as well...lol

Agree. It’s a HUGE decision for JG this TDL. It’s a stretch to think playoffs are within reach but making a run is totally on-brand for this management crew. I don’t think they’d proceed without a signed CK (the self rental) but I could definitely imagine them deciding this is the time to pivot toward a playoff mindset. Sign CK and go balls-to-the-wall with the current roster. There’s legitimately a bunch of good talent in the pipeline. And the rangers have always been about “you can’t win it if you’re not in it”. I’m not saying it’s the wisest move but it would be Rangers-y yet not crazy enough to draw fire.

Agree 100%. It's not a bad thing if they don't make the playoffs. I just want them to be competitive and the kids to get the experience. It's almost impossible to make up those 9 points they need because of all the 3 point games in this league plus all the teams they have to pass to get to a playoff spot. It's just not happening. I have a better chance of growing hair and winning the lotto.

Absolutely not. His 6-1 record is not sustainable for this team. Fans will be in for a rude awakening when he has a couple of off starts.
If Panarin cannot do it having a Hart caliber year, having stretches where he puts up 3 points a game, no one in the NHL is getting this team in the playoffs.
Unless Panarin catches fire again, they keep Kreider, Kakko realizes his potential and produces, and Shesterkin maintains an unsustainable .940SV%, they arent making the playoffs.
