Jan Levine: Rangers-Capitals: Reading the Numbers, Looking for an Advantage Look behind the numbers

Good blog Jan, didn't realize they were 3rd in missed shots weird stat

Rangers were definitely last in scoring on their breakaways, I don't know if that's a stat that's recorded but I can tell you that has to be a fact

One of the advanced stats companies likely has. We know Valiquette sure does, and yes, agreed, I think we can all recount the number of missed breakaways.

Im sure that number is out there.

I am not implying anything. I don’t know what, if anything, it means. But Filip Chytil is flying out there today.

Trying to remember a time if the Rangers were ever really good at breakaways....

Just want to say how happy I am management believed in Laf. I definitely had my doubts for a little, but he has been fantastic this year.

This is fucking amazing. I really hope they stick him on that first line on Sunday. The garden is going to be rocking between him (if he plays) & Rempe (if he plays if Chytil plays)

You think Drury told him to take a fall during that morning skate? He wanted to bring In Wennberg lol

My guess is Roslovic is going to be a heathy scratch

This just feels like a guarantee that now Tom Wilson is going to steamroll him and his skull is going to implode like the OceanGate sub

Oh for sure. The first he takes is gonna be the one and I'm gonna feel horrible.

Honestly,
I wouldn't doubt for a second that Drury said don't worry about the regular season and just get healthy...See you for playoffs if/when you are ready.

I hope he's doing well and continues to do well (physically, not professionally) but man...given all the issues I don't know if going from an entire missed season to getting tossed into a playoff series is going to end up being a smart idea.

an important stat that you neglected to highlight in your preview:

F*cking Dylan McIlrath is in their TOP 4 D!

That is all...............

There was a red jersey hanging in Blake Wheeler’s locker today, and #NYR coach Peter Laviolette says No. 17 skated on his own beforehand.

Interesting. IF he somehow comes back some time in the playoffs, it would really make these line decisions difficult

No it wouldn't. Keep him in the press box.

McIlrath's last and only previous playoff game was for the Rangers in 2016 in game 2 vs the Penguins, played 9:07 TOI, only game Rangers won in that series
