I usually don’t care about home ice advantage, but I think you want it for this series. It could be the last Hoorah for the Pens core, and we don’t need to be playing against the refs/league. Home ice never really stops such things against teams like that. Especially in a last hoorah situation, or a Tom Wilson flagrant rag doll and taunt. The Rangers never really get home ice treatment that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but you'd have to assume the MSG fans are gonna be animals in the playoffs. It's been a while since we've seen meaningful hockey. I think that's an advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus besides playing the Rangers 2x, Col, Minnesota, every game they have is vs. teams below .500 Yeah, it would be hard to unseat the 'canes from first place, penguins on the other are pretty much given in the first round. So is the outcome of the first round of the playoff: After that, all bets are off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kick save and a beauty Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 All of this is predicated on Igor staying healthy. Avoid slipping into a wild card slot which seems likely but not a mortal lock and then beat the Pens. Carolina is tough but doable. We have matched up well against all of the "beasts" in the Atlantic (Panthers, Lightning, Maple Leafs and Bruins) so I have good feelings about meeting any of those teams if we reach the conference finals. We have been overmatched by both Calgary and Colorado this year (twice each) so I am not real confident about our chances against either of them. Those games were before our trade deadline additions so there is that but a run to the finals would be house money and way more than my wildest dreams at the start of the year.

Tomas Sandstrom Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 2 Points out of first place, with 7 to go. Legit shot at winning the division. Carolina has 2 home and 5 road games left, Rangers have 5 home and only 2 road games left. Ironically enough, Rangers will be rooting for Islanders and Devils to try to knock off Hurricanes. Barring a losing streak, probably comes down to the last game with Carolina on the 26th Finish strong, boys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
