Congratulations to the Presidents’ Trophy Winner, the NEW YORK RANGERS!

[ElLeetch]

Nice now prepare to lose Penguins on the first round

try making the playoffs first

 

[Grifter3511]

Every single team is less likely to win than to lose. That’s just the way it is. Believe in something or what’s the point of pissing away all your time watching a team

Or just enjoy the ride as long as it lasts.

Hope they get swept. Never forgiving them for what they did to Brady Skjei.

 

[66-30-33]

Congrats, enjoy your first round exit.

statistically the presidents trophy winners have won the cup at the highest rate of any seed i believe. its just that 16 teams make the playoffs and these days the teams are pretty even.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Pretty certain they got eliminated tonight.

Shhhh...don't tell him.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Tonight may have changed it but going into tonight they were a negative goal differential 5v5 on the season. Don't think they are the ones to buck the trend of best regular season team not winning it all. But we shall see.

I mean that makes sense since the league used to be lopsided as hell before the cap era with some teams spending $100M and others spending $20M and before that you had legit dynasty eras. I’d rather see data in the cap era.

We won the PT in 1994, won the Cup. In 2015 we made it to the Conference Final so it's not really a curse for us.

we were the team spending 100m and not even making the playoffs tho.

 

[66-30-33]

The Penguins need help to make the playoffs.

But I wanna enjoy the playoffs, not break my fist through all my monitors while we choke huge leads.

 

[TampaBayLightning]

Hope you don't get columbused

 

[BrockLobster]

Pretty certain they got eliminated tonight.

Not yet. Id like for the isles to take care of that Wednesday

That's another BS stat. They find all kinds of ways to win. Who cares about fancy stats?

we were the team spending 100m and not even making the playoffs tho.

Exactly.

Still, you can’t tell me that parity isn’t much higher in a hard cap league

Yet is the operative word. It's just a matter of time.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

So cute from an Oilers fan

 

[Bounces R Way]

Hell of a season from them. 55 wins is nothing to sniff at.

People shit on the Laviolette hire but that sour old f***er knows what he's doing.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Enjoy the curse!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Hope you don't get columbused

Not trying to take a shot but the Rangers probably have an average point total for a pres trophy winning team if not even below average. What made that series shocking is that you guys had 130 points or something.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Was hoping they'd play the Islanders in the first round. Battle of NY is always fun.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Congrats, enjoy your first round exit.

Stupid Score app updating some standings but not others (thats my excuse and I'm sticking with it.)

it definitely is
