New York Rangers Playoff OT Failures

[HagstoRichards]

After last nights loss I began to wonder how bad comparatively our playoff OT record was compared to other teams since the 04-05 lockout, I was extremely bored today and I thought the results were interesting enough to post.

Anaheim Ducks- 10-8

Buffalo Sabres- 7-6
Calgary Flames- 1-3
Carolina Hurricanes- 7-4
Chicago Blackhawks- 18-12

Dallas Stars- 4-7
Detroit Redwings- 9-11

Florida Panthers- 0-2
Los Angeles Kings- 9-8
Minnesota Wild- 5-5
Montreal Canadiens- 7-10
Nashville Predators- 2-5
New Jersey Devils- 8-6
New York Islanders- 0-2
New York Rangers- 6-13

One other thing I noticed was 9 out of the 13 New York Rangers Playoff OT losses occurred within the first 8 minutes of OT. Hopefully the luck turns around eventually

Not surprising considering this team isn't known for scoring, and hasn't been known for that in a long time.

Considering the Sharks are known to be chokers, 15-7 is pretty good.

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised it was even 6-13. Thought it was much worse.

We are 2-2 in OT these playoffs, so before this postseason we were 4-11!

19 OT playoff games...how many teams haven't played in 19 playoff games in that period?

I would rather the Rangers be where they are then a choking dog team like San Jose. That team is the biggest bunch of chokers this decade, lol they're 15-7 I would never believe that. Anyway, the Rangers have won some big overtime games.

Gut wrenching loss. The type a team doesn't come back from.

last nights game hurts more than when Ken Morrow scored his Overtime winner.

Kind of disagree. The Morrow goal ended that series. That was tougher.

Yup. And it came at the hands of our biggest rival. Game 2 pales in comparison to that heartbreaker.

I have the all time numbers if you're interested, but they're not much more flattering. Head to head, what stands out most is NYR's 0-6 against the Islanders and 7-1 against the Leafs.
