I broke my hand twice playing hockey, well not actually playing, hint hint. How he played a game or could grip a stick with a broken hand is beyond me. The first time, I didn't get it casted for a week, it was a hunk of dangling meat for 6 days. I could barely make a fist....I was young and stupid and thought it might not be broken and would heal. hahahahah yeah right. The second time I knew right away.

Jimmy Easy to defend
Well maybe not saying that much but Tarasenko broke his mid march and not only was he back for the first game vs the Blues (1 month after), he was with a wrister that kills. But that's a real quick recovery.
If i had to take a guess i would say middle of the second round if we get there that is

Pic of Kreider tweeted by Giannone today shows him gripping the stick with both hands. The time table of 2 weeks seems good. He couldn't grip the stick with that hand a week ago.
The better team that is incapable of looking like an NHL team down by 1 ****ing goal in the 3rd.
Let's just see how the series plays out.
edit-
Friendly bet:
Rangers win this series, for round 2, you have to have some faith and only say positive comments for the duration of the series, no matter how ****** we may look.
Flyers win this series - choose whatever you want.
I won't be able to hold my end of the bargain. I'm a pessimist by nature, at least when things go poorly. I'm usually optimistic more than some chronic pessimists on this site, but when they play like yesterday I have no faith in them or their coach who I loved most of the year. I feel helpless.
No biggie. Just trying get you to not experience these losses as heavily as you seem to. I know I took last night's pretty heavy.
Agreed. Some people get too emtionally involved/upset after a loss. Look im not happy we lost last night BUT soemtiems you ahve to give the other team credit. mason had a hell of a game and the flyers made good adjustments after teh first period. Its still 2-2 and the rangers can still win this in 6. Anybody who thought this was gonna be a quick series is delusional. I know people hate the flyers but they arent a easy team.
The Flyers are not a great team. If we can't get by them without it going 7, what chance do we have against Boston or Chicago down the road? You gotta wrap these series up in 5 games or less.

Was it the same bone that Tarasenko broke? There's like 30 bones in the hand, I could see there being variances in heal time based on what bone is broken.

Who ties his skates?
Kreider has not shot the puck either.
Kreider suffered a different injury than Tarasenko.
Brett Cyrgalis of the Post reported this at the time of the injury
http://nypost.com/2014/03/26/rangers-kreider-out-indefinitely-with-reported-hand-injury/
He broke the hand in a game against Columbus coming to the defense of Stepan after taking a hit from Johansen. Kreider played two games with the injury.

The hand is made of 27 bones. Kreider broke a bone which required surgery to set the bone to have it heal properly. Its not one of those injuries where the bones broke the skin because he played 2 more games after the injury.
I know the hamate bone is an injury which usually requires surgery. Baseball players suffer that injury swinging a bat. That's 6 week injury after surgery. That's a small bone near the wrist. The Ranger player saw a black and blue near the wrist. That speculating. Kreider is still wearing the brace on his hand.

Not having Kreider hurts, but there is still more than enough talent on this team to beat the garbage Flyers. Some people need to step their games up, AKA Rick Nash, Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi.
If McDonagh is playing like crap because he's hurt, he should sit. He's been arguably our worst defenseman the whole series.

why is my name here?
If he can't even hold a stick or untie his skates with his hand, what hope is there he can even play round 2?
Was going to post a creative picture saying "as is tradition" and there was a picture of the Rangers on the google image search.
I'd expect nothing less from an injured Ranger.

Unretiring just to say damn, RB elevating his game for the playoffs. Wish the team would take notes. We're all spoiled to have you around.
