And I'll start with this:

 

Ryan Lindgren does not bleed on the ice at any point in the playoffs

 

I think this is a hit, actually. I don't recall Ryan Lindgren bleeding at all during that series.

Rangers sweep the Devils

 

This aged poorly ;/

Let’s run it back with an added point total modifier:

 

Chytil scores 10 goals, 20 points in the playoffs

 

 

Nope.

Trochek scores at a point per game pace. Pete grows half an inch shorter

Trocheck leads all Rangers in playoff scoring.

 

Trocheck? More like No-check

Alexis Lafreniere / Filip Chytil / Kaapo Kakko score more even strength goals than any other Rangers forward line trio (based on game 1 projected lines) in these playoffs.

Chris Kreider A / Mika Zibanejad A / Patrick Kane

Artemi Panarin A  / Vincent Trocheck / Vladimir Tarasenko

Barclay Goodrow A / Tyler Motte / Jimmy Vesey

 

Interesting site note: Almost half of Zibanejad and almost half of Trocheck's goals in the regular season came on the Power Play.

Nope

Kakko scores more goals than Kane and Tarasenko combined.

 

Nope

Tarasenko scores in each game of round 1.

 

Tarasenko scored in every win, but there were only 3 of those in a 7 game series.

After an injury to Igor (who is carried off a stretcher but only misses one game) the Rangers rally around Jaro the way their forebearers rallied around Lester Patrick, and he comes up with a big win.

 

Aside from being unnecessarily cruel, no.

Igor gets at least 6 shutouts this post season

 

Poor Igor. Deserved better.

Can I switch mine to Patrick Kane shows up and makes a difference eventually?

 

Still waiting.

Rangers will beat the Devils, move on and beat the NYI, move on and beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, and finally Win the Cup defeating Edmonton.

Is the ballsy part the Leafs making it out of the first round?

 

A rare double-whammy.

Picked it in the beginning of the year so have to re-up it now: Rangers win the cup 

 

There's always next year, says the Rangers fan every year.

Jimmy Vesey scores a series winning goal in OT at some point in the playoffs.

 

Himmy.

Fox will win the Conn Smythe. 

 

This looked great for four days.

 

I guess...I win?

 

Sad rep.
