  1. I don't fear any other EC team. I don't really care who's on the other side - we're favored no matter what and it's well deserved. Even against those Carolina Candycanes.

     

    The only team that would be, let's say less than ideal in round 1. is Tampa. To me, that's not because we should fear them excessively, but more that they're far more battle-tested and likely to get us into a series.

     

    I don't see Washington, Philly, Detroit. or even Toronto dragging us into a hard-fought series. Tampa has that self-discipline and wildcard in goal that they could drag us to 6 or 7, and I want the rest.

    Boston doesn't have anywhere near the supporting cast that the Rangers do.

     

    Their top scoring D is McAvoy with 44 pts. Fox has 63 in 62. Pasta center is Zacha with 50 pts. Trocheck is P/G. And those are just boxcars. 

     

    We can agree with the case, or disagree with it, but there's certainly is a case for Pasta over Panarin. 

     

    I don't think many teams have the supporting cast the Rangers do. We're a deep, diverse team that finds ways to win when it shouldn't happen. We can out-skill teams, we can out-work teams, we can out-defend teams, Igor can steal games, we can grind teams down, we can surprise them with transition play.

     

    We're not a one-trick pony anymore.

    First ones in. Last ones out.

     

    To win a Cup, often times you need to learn how to walk before you can run. We went on a deep run 2 years ago. Expectations went sky high the following year and we got humbled in the worst way possible against a bitter rival. We know the highs and lows. And we’re ready to run.

     

    History lessons are over.

     

    Because it’s time to make history.

    I agree. I don't think they should care about the President's Trophy, EC 1 seed, or even the division that much. Home ice has shown to be a slight advantage, but just ask the Bruins why it's not the end all be all, or worth going balls to the wall chasing those kinds of things. A team can do more damage to their odds of winning by exhausting themselves down the stretch, then they would gain with home ice.

     

    They at least have home ice locked up in R1. The irony is a Rangers/Caps matchup is looking like a 50/50 proposition right now. Lavi's former team.

     

    Winning the Presidents Trophy is meaningless in the grand scheme of things, especially when the "home ice advantage" we'd cede is to a team like Carolina. We know we can take over that barn. I'd like them to rest players that need it, maybe the ones nursing minor injuries. I do not want to see the Rangers try to galaxy-brain a matchup, though. I do not care if the first round opponents is the Flyers, the Caps, the Lightning, whomever else. I just want us to fuckin' truck that first round opponent and keep it moving.
