Sharpshooter Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 16 hours ago, RJWantsTheCup said: Other than Colorado the Rangers should win the rest of their remaining games. No reason not to get on a roll to close out the season. Philly, Colorado, Arizona, Pittsburgh, NJ, Detroit, Montreal, Isles, Philly, Isles and Ottawa. I don't see why they can't finish strongly, but I wouldn't count on it. Philadelphia is competitive, Detroit is fighting for a spot, although may not get in after all. They never beat Montreal and the Islanders are always annoying. Hopefully they can get it done because Carolina just won't lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Tampa beats Boston in regulation. So another day where we remain atop the entire league. Very nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Given how good the conference (and league in general) is, the President's Trophy and best record would be a great team accomplishment. I'm not a believer in the trophy curse or anything. I'll gladly take the honor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like any of the teams that won it this season would be over-confident going into the playoffs like Boston and Florida were the last two seasons.

That’s what they’ll need to go anywhere in the playoffs. Colorado absolutely abused the Rangers with their speed last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our depth is better. Our Igor is better. You win with what you have (as you said). I’ll take that over a 7 game series. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersIn7 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 3 minutes ago, Pete said: Agreed. I saw one player abuse them with speed, and it's the same player who abuses the entire league. They played them very well defensively for 2 periods and the game really opened up in the 3rd. It had opened up in the 2nd but I thought they did a better job.

BreakawayMachine Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I dont think Kakko will ever live up to being 2nd overall but I am very happy with him defensively and its great seeing him finally adding to the scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about McDavid and MacKinnon is that they do everything at a high rate of speed which is different from Crosby who typically slows the game down. I think Ovi used to play a lot like MacKinnon does, but as he got older and lost his wheels, he turned in to more of a one-trick pony with his one timer.

RJWantsTheCup Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If the rangers go 5-4 in the rest of the games Carolina would have to go 6-1-1 to tie us. No reason not to finish 1st in the Metro at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
