Vukota, no I was at the WFC covering the game and following Bruins-Red Wings simultaneously.

As for "whining", you seemed to have missed where I wrote that Flyers would only have themselves to blame if the miss. But the Rangers sending out far less than their best available lineup while they still have a shot at finishing higher in the standings says a lot about their character, IMO.

Who did they sit that was healthy against the Islanders?

It has nothing to do with character...players are banged up and injured and since we clinched, those players will rest. It's extremely common for teams to do this in the final few games of the season.

I wonder what your tone will be if the Rangers end up winning today?

No Rask today. That should help the Flyers' cause.

Why did AV challenge the goal if he's purposely tanking????

Call me whatever you will but this blog was extremely disappointing to read from Bill today. I am actually one of the Rangers fans that enjoys this group and comes here to only discuss the game; even pumps the Flyers up when warranted. But this notion that the Rangers are tanking is hysterical.

McDonagh and Girardi sat out because they are hurt.

Rangers badly outshot the Islanders and Greiss stood on his head for the majority of the game. Hank was not that sharp, but he has not been, down the stretch so there was nothing out of the ordinary in that regard Thursday.

Game is crawling. Wings don't want to make a mistake; everything is on the line for them today.

I come here day after day, to hope many of you miserable (frank)s drank bleach the night before. I am always disappointed.

Yep, that goal is a clear sign of them mailing it in.

it might have been answered already, but what are the chances that the flyers get in and finish seventh instead of 8th? i really want to see them match up with the capitals.

if the rangers win, does that automatically lock up a matchup between them and the pens?

If isles get 3 or more points over their last 2 games, isles will play pens.
