  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 1. Artemi Panarin 2. Adam Fox 3. Vincent Trocheck 4. Alexis Lafrenière +1 5. Igor Shesterkin 6. Mika Zibanejad 7. Jonathan Quick 8. Chris Kreider 9. K'Andre Miller 10. Braden Schneider 11. Kaapo Kakko +1 12. Jimmy Vesey 13. Will Cuylle 14. Matt Rempe 15. Zac Jones 16. Jack Roslovic 17. Erik Gustafsson 18. Alexander Wennberg 19. Barclay Goodrow 20. Jonny Brodzinski 21. Chad Good game kids
  6. 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.
  7. 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
