I’ll believe it when I see it with the Rangers. Won’t count them out just yet but they clearly have issues right now
I still think they're a playoff team, but it'll mostly be off the power of Igor. For the last few years now they've been infuriating to watch because they seem to get caved in so routinely by good teams only to have Sheshterkin bail them out, then have the power play swoop in to save the day, but if one of those ingredients isn't at the absolute tip-top of its game then they're a very, very mortal team, and frankly have been for a few seasons now. Been saying for awhile they remind me of the mid 2000 Yankees: teams with star power and high end talent that can feast on crappy opponents, but who get revealed when they play the legit contenders and don't have a horseshoe up their ass.

Caps are definitely concerning, but curious how their offense holds up without Ovi for awhile; they played well tonight against Florida, but the cats are in a slump right now so it's hard to make a definitive statement. Still, barring some kind of collapse in the next little while, they look like a real playoff team, not the phony version they were last year.

The Rangers seem to think they’re in a rough patch, but they’re still in a playoff spot with time to turn it around.

But f*** that. I hope the wheels fall off entirely, they crater hard, and then keep digging.

They're in a rough patch of not having the easiest schedule in the league anymore.

It was posted in the other thread but the Rags top 6 had been absolutely putrid this year.

Igor, their bottom 6 playing over their heads, and their soft schedule has masked their issues.

Trouba and Lindgren have been total shit. zibanejad has fallen off a cliff.

Boyle using the tired excuse is hilarious when this team hasn't played a back to back yet

Speaking of coaches on the hot seat, old school
Lou would be pulling the trigger on Roy. But he probably doesn’t have the power of old school Lou.
It was a stupid hire from the start.

I really don’t think it did much, if anything at all to save their season last year. They probably still finish in the same spot with Lambert sticking around. If anything maybe it was one of those coaching changes that made guys wake up and feel bad about getting the coach fired. Especially when one player (Cizikas maybe?) was very vocal about the players chanting for Lambert’s firing and telling them to stay home if they wanna come to the games and chant stuff like that.

Roy in Colorado was a disaster, outside of the one FLUKE playoff season/Jackass Adams year.
