Valriera Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Zero reason this team cannot win the cup outside of the fact that you could say that about eight teams this year. Going to be a crazy playoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Lots of people here predicted this team would be a bubble team for various reasons. None of the predictions led to bubbliness. However, this season, shit happened. Injuries Bad goaltending stretches Bad PP stretches Uneven 5v5 play And they've been at the top of the league and #1 in the division all year. They get contributions from everywhere. They're never out of games. They win in bunches but never lost more than 3 in a row and pretty sure they only did that once this season? Either way no one could have predicted how good this team would be. They are a legitimate contender. 1 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Froman Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 There's no quit in New York, seemed like false advertising at times last year. But definitely not this year. They are the comeback kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richter35 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Big factor coming down the stretch, after these 2 away games , we are "home" the rest of the way. Except one game in Detroit. They should be well rested going into the playoffs. At least from a travel standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas Sandstrom Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Dare I say that the Rangers this year sort of remind me of when the Yankees swapped Buck Showalter for Joe Torre. The Yanks were good in '94 (strike year cancelled playoffs / WS) and '95 (lost to Seattle in Best of 5), but then when Joe took over, things just clicked. Sometimes the right leader can join an already good team and help them achieve greatness. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Mission is clear: First ones in. Last ones out. To win a Cup, often times you need to learn how to walk before you can run. We went on a deep run 2 years ago. Expectations went sky high the following year and we got humbled in the worst way possible against a bitter rival. We know the highs and lows. And we’re ready to run. History lessons are over. Because it’s time to make history. Edited March 27 by RichieNextel305 1 2 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) The lack of respect from NHL circles is hysterical. Biz, who we know is a troll, was openly campaigning for Toronto to fall into a WC for a matchup with us. The crew was talking about East favorites and drooling all over Florida and Carolina. NHL Network was talking about Metro favorites and mentioned Carolina over us. Lets not forget we are the only team to actually clinch, to be in 1st place since late-October. How are we getting this little respect in comparison to Carolina? To Florida? Florida had a hot run last year. Everyone is drooling this year. Sound familiar? Kind of like, oh I don’t know, us last year? Amazing run the year prior, good team going in, all the pieces. Yawn. And Carolina? Perpetually failing come playoff time? A favorite over us when they lost 2 of 3 against us and have been playing catch up since October with us? Hysterical. We’re being disrespected. And I’m gonna love watching all of these assholes eat crow in a few months. Edited March 28 by RichieNextel305 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I don't take anything Biz says seriously at all. I always think he's kind of just playing this character on TV for views and to get people hot and talking, like you're doing. lol Does he hate the Rangers? Meh, maybe, but overall what I just said are the main reasons for his podcast and takes. Even if they liked the Rangers, I'm just not a fan of that podcast anyway. I feel like it's just a lot of hot air, again, just to get people talking. Their interviews are really the only thing really worth listening to.

They are just going with the odds. Only one team with bad analytics like the Rangers has won the Cup in the last 10+ years, the Capitals in 2018.

Sharpshooter Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Sometimes I think with analytics it's paralysis by analysis. Yeah, they can paint a real picture regarding a team in certain situations, but the playoffs is just a different animal entirely. It's more of a crapshoot than most sports postseasons. Plus, in general, a lot of people don't like the Rangers anyway. lol I've often said the only people who really like the Rangers are Rangers fans.
