I think Philly is going to surprise some people this year. I just checked FanDuel and their predicted standings are

Lot of love for the Devils. They were last years darlings too.

Canes maybe a bit weaker than people think and I think the Caps maybe a bit better.

The Devils on paper look strong. If they are healthy, they could take the Metro.

Devils actually got their goaltender this year though. Also upgraded their defense even further.

Your question is irrelevant to me because you are irrelevant to me.

I can see why you would think I was trying to be a Richard but I actually was genuinely asking with 0 ulterior motives

This board! Haha.

For some of you, I wouldn't be revealing your ages based on the way you act online.

Bottom line: The Rangers are a winning team, more consistently than not. Making the "overachiever" argument moot. Drury has not found the right recipe to push them over the edge to win the cup and/or the circumstances haven't been right. That's the only goal and anything else is disappointing when your team IS a winning team. If your team is a losing team, you only focus on rebuild and not winning the cup. Everything else is opining and debate on how to Monday quarterback the team. Winning the cup is (frank)ing hard!!

Expressing an opinion is your right and the purpose of this board. Disagreeing with opinions is everyone's right as well. Being an a$$hole because you disagree with an OPINION makes you and this board obnoxious.

Now, GET OFF MY (frank)ING LAWN!

Except when the winning matters most.

So a guy who's internet name is "pickle" instead of using "Richard" rick with a Drury avatar with a win o meter in it is asking about someones elses maturity level??

I agree with him that age does not equal maturity. That being said, half his posts are like a middle aged man and half his posts are like a child.

Again just wanting to antagonize me for what? In the face of what is posted on here, Im pretty mature, drag down by some adolescent posters, its ok, I will live.

I just dont care what a guy, with a picture of Drury and a win o meter as his avatar posts or says. Im guessing you think you post only mature things when most of the time, its just manure.

I'd much rather the insults be hurled at Drury than at each other.

To the dismay of the offer sheet deniers, this is fun. We love a good offer sheet.
