I am at peace with whatever happens because either the Rangers win, and there are changes in the off season, or they lose and there will be changes in the off season. No shame in trying to go for it, one last time, with this core group but Gorton appears to be a self aware executive and he has to see that this team needs a shake up of some sort regardless of this postseason's outcome.

No clue honestly what I read. I don't understand what you mean by P O gear headin to net

I think he meant playoff *PO* and gear is a driving reference I think? Like i'm in 3 gear ready to the finish. So I think dundee was saying they need to get in playoff mode (intensity--style of play--aggressiveness). Wait, have I just found my calling?!

That's very odd. You have the exact same picks I do. Our # of games has a few variances & there are numerous series where I avoided making selections in any of my 7 pools due to concerns about whether they would advance. Never selected a single Florida player from Florida & even though I have StL making the final 4. I hedged my bets & only took 3 players from StL. I also ended up taking 3 players from Pits in most pools even though I loaded up on Washington players & 1 of those 2 teams is toast in the 2nd round. 1 of the problems & things I don't like about the divisional playoff format. I prefer a conference based format.

Even though they got to the 100 point mark, they dont seem like a confident 100 point team. Maybe it changes but I don't see it this year. Will be a very interesting offseason if they don't make it through this 1st round.

"Gorton announces team will give it one more run with current core for 2016-17 season; extension for Dan Boyle coming soon."

Daily fantasy I guess haha

It will be a great offseason, assuming they get knocked out early, if you love complete mayhem.

Don't think Vigneault is in danger of losing his job, if this scenario holds true, but I really see Gorton making moves.

I can see the 2016-17 trade deadline now: "Rangers acquire C Joe Thornton in exchange for Buchnevich, draft picks"

I'm not gonna go there with Jumbo, but he had a fantastic year. Maybe SJ would like to get Nash

Appealing but don't any pressure on him haha

Jumbo Joe was unreal this year. We all know that if we acquired him he'd be a bum so I will pass. Nash gonna score in game two? I think he scores in game one if stepan makes a better pass on that two on one.

I never have confidence Nash will score, I've accepted what he is. He saved a goal the other night when it was 0-0, or 1-0. And assisted on Stepans PP goal, So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now

Yea, just need 19 players on Saturday to step up and really work hard and at least outwork Pitt.

Derek Stepan is probably playing the best hockey of his whole career the last month, really wish Brassard would get his game going too like we know he can
