did Reaves have a little brother growing up? Man feel bad for that kid if he did
- TPC

Little brothers are the toughest creatures on earth.

i wonder what the concern is like in islander land - i dont think you can look at their record and say anything since they havent had a home game yet. 4 straight losses, but finally at the end of the road (literally) trip. optimistic? tell us chiefs...

this division is so deep its crazy

I would be concerned but that team has everything they need to fix it. The only issue is that the whole division was over .500 until recently. Pittsburgh has also faltered somewhat.

They're only 6 points out of a wild card spot with games in hand, 1 less played than Philly and 5 less played than Detroit. I think they turn it around.


Edit: They also have been playing largely out of division. They could make up some serious ground with those "4 point games".

One of these things is not like the other...

I'm more alluding to the Rangers goal differential versus their points standing.

Well except for a dynamic offense yea. I always think that is what will hold them back from being a cup contender. Need some more elite talent with Barzal

The two Calgary games being outscored 11-1 is the cause of that.

Well sure, but they need some of the opposite to get that trending the right way.

its more important to gain experience and learn how to close out tight games than it is to get some easy blowouts.

I don't disagree but they could use a couple of those wins to gain even more confidence.

Their goal differential was awesome last year and they didn't make the PO. Weird league

Well, they certainly have no idea what the (frank) they're talking about.
Even if you buy the provided reasoning. There's not much chance a defensive change is coming via trade rather than promotion from within.

makes no sense

The one thing that kind of sucks is that I really wanted to move Georgi in the offseason to improve. However hes all but destroyed any trade value he might have had so far.

I saw it this morning too. It's because someone decided to mix fancy stats into their reasoning. The issue with that is it isn't indicative of recent play.

Clearly written by someone that knows nothing about the Rangers.
