RJWantsTheCup Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 If they go 18-17 they'll finish with 100 points. I figure they should win 9 or 10 against the Metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, you're right; I don't see how we could keep up with those types of teams...but a few well-placed body checks and some continuous pounding in to those back boards on dump-ins just might take some of the zip out of a fast team. I like the way you're thinking... 4 hours ago, Blue Heaven said: Some really good teams are going to be eliminated in the first round. its like pick your poison where you want to end the season. If the season ended today it would be Boston vs. Florida Washington vs. Carolina Pittsburgh vs. Rangers Toronto vs. Tampa Bay The Rangers record against Eastern conference playoff teams is 7-4-0 (0.571) in 11 games, only Florida's record of 9-5-0 (0.555) is better, but they played more games, 14, against Eastern conference playoff teams. So, the Rangers chances don't look bad, at least until this point of the season. There's some reason for optimism... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season ended today it would be Boston vs. Florida Washington vs. Carolina Pittsburgh vs. Rangers Toronto vs. Tampa Bay Good teams get eliminated in the first round all the time. It's a natural byproduct of the playoff model that encourages a first round of blood bath match-ups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 8 hours ago, Phil said: I actually think they did take Florida apart. That third period was a clinic in protective/shutdown hockey. That said, it was arguably the only example of them doing that all season long, so it didn't do nearly enough to dismantle the broader criticism that they're too heavily reliant on a power play and goal tending. Like I said, they relied on Igor and the PP and Florida 2nd night of back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just me, but... 11/08/21, Florida's 1st night of the back to back in NYC, NYR won 4-3 12/29/21, Rangers' 1st night of the back to back in FLA, Florida won 4-3 02/01/22, Florida's 2nd night of back to back in NYC, NYR won 5-3 So, the Rangers beat them, regardless if it's the 1st, or 2nd night of back to back games. They also won the regular season series 2-1, against the best team in the league. Not too shabby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 That is true that the board remains very active despite the layoff. I suppose there are still enough things to discuss without actual Rangers games going on. At least there is other hockey on to watch so it's not quite the nightmare that is the offseason in August.

4EverRangerFrank Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I like the rest our squad has been able to take, and while others get to rest too, it's good for our young netminder so he's strong like bull for the remainder of games. Some rust is to be expected and I'm ok with that as long as we get right back on that bike. Other than fatigue, the other teams that are playing make-up games actually have a bit of an advantage when we re-start. No matter though, our boys will be ready. The photos from practice showing smiles all around - great! Have fun and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
