I was going to say 1 player changed this team, but Hayes, Miller Kreider have elated their game as well, but where would we be without Grabner?

Tough to say. Like you pointed out yesterday. If Buch was on that line would they have as good as chemistry? Not trying to diminish the Grabner addition at all, but its tough to say, because maybe someone else would have got that chance.

The same one who is totally OK with going with Pulock/Pelech/Mayfield as 50% of our top-6 defensemen next year?

yes because half of the defense can be rookies and they'll be just fine same guy that said garth knows when to let people go, he kept cappy too long

E5 yea and for only hamonic, strome, pulock, and a 1st what a deal. as ranger fans you should all be shaking

I kept saying that going into the playoffs, but people were saying how playoff tested the roster was and not to worry
My point was, you cant just flip the switch come playoff time, they proved that.
You have to be beating bad teams, and winning close games to be ready for the playoffs.

I wasn't confident at all going into the playoff last year, but they were playing well around deadline time, and coming off two years where they advanced to the finals and Game 7 of the ECF, I don't blame the GM for giving the team the benefit of the doubt and trying to make another run. The thing is, that the Rangers were still a 101 point team last year. That's a pretty damn good regular season taken as a whole, but probably exaggerated by their hot start.

He's noticeable all the time. Can anyone look up how many penalties he's drawn? He drew the one in OT against Buffalo that led to the PP goal to win it, and has scored some big game tying/winning goals for us.

By the way, Matt, I never really apologized for calling you a b*tch last week. Trust me, I meant it in the nicest possible sense of the word. So, apologies.

Pavel Buchnevich not playing tonight is real news, twitter letting everyone know about it is fake news

Pretty much. I mean you always try to have hope when your heading into the playoffs, but I can honestly say I had absolutely none last year.

To tack on to this...mdw, if I ever called you that word I just want you to know that I meant it in the most literal, vicious sense of the word.

No need to apologize. Heat of the moment.
