How's this for symmetry?

First 23 games: 18-4-1
Last 23 games: 18-4-1

Too bad they were so terrible in December and January or the Presidents' Trophy race would be over.

Panarin is an unbelievable hockey player. That is all

 

[SnowblindNYR]

We have one contender left on the schedule in Colorado. Besides them the best team we face is Philly. 7 of 11 are at home. If we don't win the Presidents' trophy it'll be on us no one else.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I fear only one team in the playoffs. And there's a very good possibility we might face them in the 1st round. I pray we don't face Tampa in the first round. They seem to have our number.

Until they don't. In the playoffs, it all comes down to who wants it more.

Most points in the league.

Highest points % in the league.

Most wins in the league.

2nd Most RW in the league.

Most ROW in the league.

9 games in 15 nights. 7-2-0.

Wins against Carolina, Boston, Florida, and rivals NJ, NYI, and PIT.

This is a good hockey team, although you’d never know it talking to this fan base.

You don't need to be a martyr hammering people over the head with this

 

[2Leetch_94]

As been proven time and time again, the Presidents Trophy means absolutely nothing.

Just continue playing good, sound hockey heading into the playoffs and win the games that matter.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Good game, it’s reminiscent of early in the season how the Rangers are limiting teams offensively through the NZ and making sure they come back and take away space around the house.

I could care less about the Presidents trophy. It means nothing.

If this team is going to win a Cup they're going to need to slay the dragon. Have thought always that with this window, the road to the Cup goes through Tampa. They need to beat them to get over that mental hurdle.

Still, it would be nice if someone else were to knock them out. Man, would I love to face Detroit or the Caps to start.

After our trip to mile high, we have a pretty easy schedule. I think 1st place in the East is well within reason.

 

[QJL]

Another thing. Panarin should be getting MVP chants from the Garden.

It's a farce if Kucherov wins it. He has Point, Hedman, and Stamkos.

Panarin has Fox and......Laf? Kreider and Zibanejad have been hot ass.

Vincent Trocheck…

 

[LeetchisGod]

I could care less about the Presidents trophy. It means nothing.

It meant a lot in 1994. The Devils and Canucks series could have turned out differently if we had to play those game 7s on the road.

This is such a cliche man and you know better than that. What if Sharks players would want to win the cup more than Florida players?

First of all it's COULDN'T care less. Second of all, good for you? You don't want home ice? And if you don't care about it so what? I feel like every time someone brings up the Presidents' Trophy someone always have to comment how much they don't care about it.

 

[inranger94]

We don’t see a shootout without Trochecks ridiculous defensive play in OT. What an absolute stud he’s been. Faceoffs. Offense. Defense. PornStache. f***ing Renaissance Man.

you forgot to mention that his grandma cooked a dinner for the whole team when they played Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. Might as well retire his jersey now.

Then the Sharks would win the Cup.

But then you have to explain 1992 and 2015.

Ok. Once in 30 years. Playing well down the stretch, playoff matchups, and injuries, matter way more.

 

[Machinehead]

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Agreed about not caring about the presidents trophy, but the #1 seed matters.

I’d much rather play whatever trash bubble team backs into a spot than Tampa.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Mollie Walker is hot, I don't care what you say.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

 

[KennyWu]

Guys. Panarin... is good at the hockey

 

[2Leetch_94]

The only thing that matters is The Hockey Guy's power rankings. Gotta retain that #1 spot for the rest of the season.

The salty tears of Carolina fans in the comments are to live for.

Thanks for the grammatical correction. Ok. I couldn't care less. A small % of teams that have won the Presidents trophy have won the cup. It's all about just playing well, best possible matchups, and staying healthy. If they win it, great. If they don't I'm not going to lose any sleep.

The part I like about it is home ice throughout the playoffs.
