Playoffs — Who Do You Want/Don't You Want?
BrooksBurner replied to Kick save and a beauty's topic in New York Rangers
And how Dylan Strome is Ryan's kid brother -
Gustafsson Day-to-day After Elbow to the Head
BrooksBurner replied to Phil's topic in New York Rangers
Gus has been one of their consistently good defensemen this year by any metric you want to look at. There's no reason to be taking him out anyway. -

BrooksBurner replied to Phil's topic in New York Rangers
I think Gus is someone Lavi likes a lot too, so it'd be surprising to me if he wasn't in the lineup. I like Jones to step in a starting role next season, but I'm not sure I'd trust him out of the gate in the playoffs here. -
Playoffs — Who Do You Want/Don't You Want?
BrooksBurner replied to Kick save and a beauty's topic in New York Rangers
Regular season matchup records are essentially meaningless. You're not gaining anything from a 3 game sample size, with the games separated by weeks or months. -

Playoffs — Who Do You Want/Don't You Want?
BrooksBurner replied to Kick save and a beauty's topic in New York Rangers
This is my line of thinking, except about Shesterkin. His track record in the playoffs is excellent, minus a couple of games in that Pittsburgh series two years ago that showed to be an aberration. -

Definitely want Washington. They suck Definitely don’t want Tampa -
Nah Ferraro is a cunt. He actively chooses to focus on what he perceives as missed penalties against the Rangers, and sweeping shitty calls against them under the rug like they didn't happen. All of the time. Every game. You can also tell by his tone of voice. He's a hater for sure, and Keith Jones is/was the same way.

Yeah I mean we have to do due diligence and debate correlation vs causation, but since 2008 (that's as far back as we can go) only one team with analytics as bad as the Rangers has won. Only one other team with a sub-50 xGF% has won. That's two teams with bad analytics in the last 16 years. The overwhelming majority of teams with bad analytics don't even make the playoffs. But hey, you never know. Panarin wasn't supposed to be this good and have a career year at 32 years old either. I just don't blame analysts for taking a look and saying "Hey, wait a minute, the Rangers haven't checked out very well at 5v5, and they got a lot of points from gimmicky 3v3 OT wins (8) that don't come into play in the playoffs". It's probably the most objective, valid analysis that can be drawn from the data. It won't surprise me if they get bounced in the first or second round, and 90% of the fan base is left thinking they choked. I wouldn't see it that way because I don't see them as favorites at all. I hope they can buck the trend. I just think they'll just need a bunch of extra bounces go their way than a normal path to the Cup.

Biz is just a hater, but be prepared for many other analysts who value advanced stats to be picking against the Rangers. They are just going with the odds. Only one team with bad analytics like the Rangers has won the Cup in the last 10+ years, the Capitals in 2018.

Laf plays 5v5 and very little PP. So, with that, 5v5 assist leaders: McUnicorn 49 Kucherov 39 MacKinnon 37 Draisaitl 33 … Trocheck 28 Panarin 23 Lafreniere 19 I would taper the expectations. And another round of applause to Trocheck for clearly doing elite work to compliment Panarin’s “shoot a lot” approach this year.

How is that not a penalty? What is the purpose of that? -

BrooksBurner replied to High and Wide's topic in New York Rangers
Yep. We need those guys. Everyone rips on Trouba a lot, but it's clear he's better than Schneider. Same with Lindgren vs Miller/Jones/Gus defensively. It's not close. -

Tired of hearing about needing a win to clinch a playoff spot. Don't think they can manage that in the next 10 games? Who gives a fuck? Shut up about it. It doesn't mean anything tonight -
