Sharpshooter

I also thought the same thing about the Rangers early opponents last year. lol I know this team looks more dominant and is better coached, etc. Nothing is a given in the postseason, ask the Bruins from last year. I don't think I'll ever feel totally confident in the playoffs. lol

Compared to the second half of last season, and the playoffs as you mentioned, it looked like they had a completely different player. But no, it was Laf taking the bull by the horns and giving us a great glimpse into the future. I don't care that Panarin was a beast this year, he looked really damn good anyway. Being in the vicinity of 30 goals, being still only 22, is a great achievement and I think we can officially stop worrying about this kid.

I know, but I had to come up with something that wasn't thought of already, and panicked. lol

Them playing Detroit and having Kane light them up would be the most Rangers thing ever. lol

Same. Just in general, I do not want to see Pittsburgh.

Anybody but Pittsburgh. You're always going up against them, the refs and the league. I want no part of them. Plus, you could argue thus was one of Crosby's best seasons.

The last time the Rangers won the Cup: They won the President's Trophy. America hosted the World Cup. There was a Spring solar eclipse. OJ Simpson was in the news. There was an earthquake in the NY/NJ area.

The real season is just beginning, but damn, this was a magical regular season. They had a time in January where they were average at best, but basically went wire to wire leading the division. Monster winning streaks and insanely consistent, career years from some guys. Lafreniere blossomed, along with some others, a memorable win outdoors. Chock full of fun and memories.

I will likely to begin drinking heavily on Sunday.

Shesterkin leads the playoffs in shutouts.

lol These are so wild to look back on.

Interestingly, the Rangers only lost twice all year when he scored a goal.

Goosebumps inducing win in Detroit. Wow.

Chytil gonna pull some Willis Reed shit in the playoffs.

Trophy is great, but home ice throughout is even better. They cooked at home this season.

The real season begins soon, but let's savor every minute of this. This is one of the most special Rangers teams I've watched. They feel like a team, and the vibes have never been better. I love this group.

Fox was shorthanded.

30 wins at MSG too. Most home wins since 1972.

55 wins. Incredible year.

Fourth.

BEST RECORD.

Damn. Sneaky shot by Panarin. Almost had it.
