Kreider and Zibanejad play better offensively than they do 5 on 5.  Maybe they shouldn’t worry about a RW for their line.

So possibly stupid question. But will the Presidents Trophy be presented to the Rangers if they win tonight? Or will there be no official presentation? When we won in 2015, we clinched in NJ and then had it given in a pregame ceremony. Will they bother doing that tonight or just have it be a formality? Just curious.

Not that I know for sure but I would assume it would be presented to them in a ceremony before the 1st playoff game.  

Chicago Carolina 1-1 going into the 3rd.   Come on Chicago

NY fans in general tend to be over critical of their teams not just us Rangers fans with the exception of maybe Yankees fans.  Too many NY teams have had those wonderful years or runs during years only for something to go wrong in the end.  So we tend to always look at anything negative as it all falling apart.  The Mets, Jets, Giants, Knicks and the Rangers to a lesser extent always find a way to disappoint fans. I won’t consider Islanders fans as NY fans.  They are their own set of fans.

If Rempe is in then they’ll win

13-2-1 when he plays.  Like it was mentioned elsewhere he should be played in at least every home game.  I would play him against tougher opponents too like Islanders, Bruins, Panthers, etc.

Changed ≠ Saved

None of us have a crystal ball to know for sure so can’t really argue that either way.

Well anyway, saved the game. 

Definitely changed the season.  He doesn’t make that save.  They lose the game.  More than likely don’t win the division.  Have to play Islanders first round.   Now they still can win the division, conference and Presidents Trophy.  

1. Artemi Panarin

22. Jonny Brodzinski 

23. Chad

Did I miss something?  Panarin’s tying goal wasn’t a power play goal.  

The save Shesterkin made on the delayed penalty on Lindgren may have saved the season.  

About fucking time.  

At least Shesterkin is playing well

That’s one hell of a giveaway by Panarin. 

This team will never score 5 on 5 again.

Bad giveaway at the blue line. Who was that?

Vesey.  
Rangers took a lot of penalties.  But Panarin line invisible so far. 

Vesey needs to get that shit out.  

That’s offside

9 hits in 10 mins so far.  17 hits the entire Philly game. 

Wennberg should’ve shot 

Would be some shit to be in first place basically the entire season to end up finishing second because of a no show game at home against a collapsing Philly team.  I actually think they still pull it off and win the next two.  Hopefully I’m not just wishful thinking.  

I like the idea of Chytil on RW with Zibanejad and Kreider better than him at center if in fact he is able to play in the playoffs.  That line and the 4th line are the only lines I would mess with.  Roslovic  can play 4th line center between Goodrow and Vesey.  

3 points in semi final of Frozen Four last night

Team has comeback so many times that they think they can take the first period off and use it as a slow warm up every night.  Last night they never came around. If I’m the coach I start Cuylle, Goodrow, Rempe against the Islanders with clear instructions to make every legal hit possible without taking themselves out of the play.  Don’t start Trouba not that I would play him. Stir the crowd up and the team up.  Get energy into the team.  

If they are going to play the 6 D  who are playing the best right now.  Trouba is out and Jones is in but Lavi doesn’t have the balls to do it.  The playoffs should be who’s playing best.  Something is wrong with Trouba’s game right now.  Not sure if he’s playing hurt or if it’s rust but you can tell he’s not right.  Part of it seems to be mental.  He makes plays that a player of his experience should never make.
