The Rangers have a good a chance as anyone to win this year. It is what it is.
Washington is going to sneak in aren't they?
The 2023-24 Penguins in a nutshell, can’t win with a 4-0 lead halfway in the 2nd period.

Since you're our local statistician ( ) gotta be some time that there's been two 4-0 comebacks within a relatively short time period (within the last 12 hours recently in the NHL
Bleed (and most of the fandom), every time we played Vitek...
I wish both would f***in lose.Caps vs Wings tomorrow. Who do we want to win?
I assume Wings bc they are 1 point behind Caps?
I wish both would f***in lose.
Really wanna see the Yzerplan go down in f***in flames, but I also don’t think the Capitals are good for the playoffs. They’re gonna be a ratings killer. Not enough skill, slow, old. Just a really bad team.
Detroit is also bad, but they have a couple of exciting players and they’re not nearly as slow and unskilled like that Capitals team is.
That’s a bad team and a real blow up doll for the Rangers in the first round if they get them. That’s like a bye week.
You’re gonna tell me you are entertained one bit by the current incarnation of the Capitals?You keep calling the Caps a “ratings killer” and I don’t see how that’s based on anything other than your own dislike.
They’re very popular and Ovechkin has been white hot. Marketable stars are marketable.

They likely won’t make it out of the 1st rd, if they make it, but that happens with most 8th seeds.
Things change over a course of a season.You’re gonna tell me you are entertained one bit by the current incarnation of the Capitals?
They do have Ovechkin and I agree with your point about them being marketable because of it.
But they are a f***ing eyesore. I would bet most agree they rank near the bottom of the league in watchability.
I just can’t see too many viewers wanting to keep their game on, especially when at least one other game will be going on at the same time.
Have they actually been playing better lately? They seem like #TeamunsustainableThings change over a course of a season.
They’ve actually been much better lately because they are largely healthy for the first time. And they have not been playing boring games lately.
3.4 goals per gm in March
4.4 goals per gm in their last stretch
March has been a big 180 for them in terms of goal production
For the first time all season, yes. They are finally playing even in games since February (as shown in the cumulative xGoal differential chart below) . With their good goaltending and all of sudden scoring, they are winning. They were ASS Oct to Feb which made it annoying as hell to see all of the wins they lucked into early onHave they actually been playing better lately? They seem like #Teamunsustainable
There’s one or two every year. Sometimes even two per conference. The Islanders were probably that last year. This year it’s them and the Red Wings.
