LindG1000 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 For those of you saying it's a meaningless game....likely true, but so long as there's a shot to finish second (or even, improbably, win the division) we should be taking it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Need 2 wins and NJ to either lose both or win one but the win can’t be in regulation. Devils get Buffalo home tomorrow and finish up in DC against the Caps on Thursday. So if the Rangers win out and finish at 110, either the Devils losing both gets us ahead of them at 110 to 108 (or 109 if they pick up 1 point along the way) or if we win out and NJ goes 1-1, the 1 win needs to be after regulation because we then would finish with more ROW than them. Provided we also win in regulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Buffalo needs to win out and have two of the three teams ahead of them not get two points in their remaining two games Florida plays Carolina and Toronto (meaningless game for them) Islanders play Washington and Montreal (they'll win at least one of those) Pitt plays Chicago and Columbus (lucky them) The math doesn't add up. Sucks because I think they're a better team/deserve a playoff spot more than those the islanders and penguins but they shot themselves in the foot early in the year and are paying for it now. Better luck next year Buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Anyone else feel like this was a quick season? We're at Game 81 suddenly...at least it feels that way to me. Also, the usual rollercoaster NYR ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Buffalo knock the piles out of the playoffs. Said the same thing the other night. Feels like it was just Opening Night and Mika potted 2 goals against Tampa. I would love to see the Isles lose tonight. If they do, and the Panthers win, Florida clinches. And then they need help from the Pens to make it.

Then he'd never be heard from again! The guy had a really rough couple of years and was deemed the worst contract in the league at 9 mill per. He's climbed back to what he was expected to be, but 9 mill os still an insane amount of money for that kind of player. He probably could have been had at 50% retention 2 or 3 years ago and it would have been a good pick up. But he was really, really struggling.

After the playoff run last year, this whole regular season has felt like a formality before playoffs start. And at times, I think they players probably felt like that too. Just no injuries in these two games. Don't care about home ice against NJ. In fact the sweep being finished in NY would be pretty cool too! Or winning in 5 in their rink would be pretty fun to remember as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the prime "example" of a bad contract for a long time. Before I came to BSBH I really never knew very much about how GM's navigate a salary cap. All I remember is the simple "word affiliation" of: Skinner = BAD contract ...could probably make a case for Zach Parise too....I remember him being a player a bunch pointed to for a shitty contract.

Blue Heaven Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 My god these LIRR train schedules from/to Forest Hills are atrocious since Grand Central opened. 1 train every hour from Penn to Forest Hills, cut it close for the 9:49.....WTF!!!!! There use to be at least 2 trains stopping at Forest Hills...... Gotta leave my office early, go pick up my daughter at the Forest Hills train station just so I can catch the 5:49 to Penn....WTF!!!!! There use to be 2-3 trains from 5:00 PM on that would get you to Penn in time for a pee, grab a bite to eat before faceoff....Now 1 train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Good point about the season going by quickly. It sure did. This might have been the fastest moving regular season I can remember. It'll be hard for Buffalo to get in, but I still expect them to play hard since they still have a shot. They aren't Columbus so I'm not too hopefully for a win. The Rangers can still catch New Jersey, but the urgency really doesn't seem to be there for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I want whatever scenario to unfold that allows the Rags to win both of our games and the Piles to miss the playoffs. I want home ice and I do not want them in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Got a Devils presale code for Round 1 but I cant pull the trigger to buy Game 1 tixs since its not a guarrantee that it would be NYR-NJ in Round 1. Get in price is $200 for cheap seats....far cheaper than MSG which is about $400 at "Face Value" through Ticketmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ends up not being NYR/NJD then I'm sure you can sell it rather easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
