They have looked like peepee caca since they started making those trades

would've been kinda funny if they missed the playoffs

it's kinda like Toronto, an adjustment period is to be expected though after those trades. the rags might not be so solid defensively but they have enough fire power upfront to figure things out.

Yeah, you make some good points ... like the Leafs, they probably need more time to "gel" together.

In my opinion, our toughest opponent (I missed the Canes game) in the last week was the Kings ... their forechecking was suffocating.

The league would hate to waste the annual "make the rangers relevant" card again

But there seems to be an attempt by the league to make them their Lakers/Yankees/Cowboys. A polarizing team with a coast-to-coast fanbase. It never catches on... Nobody outside of NYC bites

huh, never really paid attention to any of that but it very well could be. kinda hard though to become the yankees with that salary cap...

Starting to open up..

Damn ... the Rags D is gonna get destroyed in the playoffs.

They should have invested in defensemen instead of hasbeen overpaid veterans. Nothing ever changes in New York ... they like the "big names" even if their best days are behind them.

they do have a good forward group right now and a decent goalie, I wouldn't count them out just yet.

Why not send belz out there for a shift or two with Suzuki?

True but their D is weak, not "Vancouver Canucks weak" mind you, but weak nonetheless.

You don't win championships with a weak defense.

if they manage to tighten things up and Shesterkin gets hot, you never know... we'll see, the playoffs should be entertaining anyway.

If Spinash (Pinard) is not on the team next year then something is wrong ... buy out Armia if need be.

Well, they better get much better and quick because they're not getting out of the first round playing like this.

EDIT: Games like this gives me ideas when comes the playoffs pool season.

the 3 on 3 OT should be 10 minutes instead of 5.

I hope they don’t..
