Jan Levine: My playoff predictions round by round and overall champion Rangers have a vested interest in who wins the Cup

From last blog.

No just pissed he never got a shot with the Rangers...his contract was terminated, going back to Russia
- TPC

He was already in Russia for a majority of the year. He placed on conditional waivers for the purposes of contract termination.

Devils are going to upset the Bolts. Sorry Vin

Doing so frees up a contract, enabling New York to possibly pursue an additional undrafted college free agent or a player drafted and not signed as well as a former NHLer playing overseas

New Jersey was 3-0 against Tampa this year. The Lightning is a much better match up for the Devils than having to face Boston.

I like you. You can stay.

woah... woah... woah.... You have Washington beating the Pens?

Please.... the hockey Gods will not allow such a thing to occur. Ovi must have murdered one of their decedents to be barred from Stanley Cup Glory so harshly.

My unexplained ban , not worthy of the time down ended last nite
But judging by the content of Jans last thread ....O M G
didnt miss much , thanks again Jan for finding out why this crap happens
can u spell conspiracy ,well i'm gonna find that flag of sensitivity too now.
really pissed this group can't perservere and handle any commentary with out
bullying there way ,its a shame Jan watches ( must like that sort of thing )

ANYWAY , A V got screwed , Gorts is a fumbling boob when it comes to explaining
who as early as last summer they were breaking down team with 2 less centers and
a pipe dream of Z bad makin #1 ,Anderson makin team ,giving AV DD as a competent center is a reflection ..."they can tell you boobs anything & you buy it hook line & sinker ...
JUst last week it dawned on the "group " as Gorts pust it to .. refresh yeah refresh a,i like that to "refresh " team with a new hd coach ...

I am tettering on the brink with this team ,been the loyalist of a guy but if i see a 35 yr old russian here and Karllson NOT i'm goin shoppin for a new squad
Especially if the Fish hds do somthing smart & snow hires AV ,....they should

this abomination of a season has been orchestrated to get his own guy in place
and stop patching it up and just build it ... we will see ,my outline has been out there for all ... good luck gorts ,you are gonna need it

Welcome back to the cesspool DUNDEE
, i go and rinse off in the blue shirt banter blog next to refresh myself...

great commentary there too .se ya wouldnt wanna be ya

Dundee, enough with the passive agrressive shots. I am going to state this publicly again so it’s clear. I had nothing to do with your van. I don’t control the bans. I did send an email to the site moderators but didn’t hear back as to why the ban occurred. If there is a conspiracy as you mentioned, someone else must be involved because I had no part of it. With the family stuff I had going on, worrying about the pot shots you continue to take at me and the blogs was way down the list of concerns.

Don’t you dare ever accuse me again of bullying or conspiring to keep you out of the blog. I don’t make threats or sit there and go back to the moderators and tattle tale. But if forced, I will make an exception.

Shero will likely say something to Bettman and should. Technically, conversations weren’t to begin until April 15, when he becomes a free agent and signings can’t be made until July 1. If the rumors are true, both dates were breached.

Got it. Thanks

Unless there is a paper trail I am sure the Rangers will just claim it was rumors that ended up being true. Who the hell cares at this point? I am not all for getting him but I would not be too upset if he decided to sign.

Any idea where the rumors started? Haven't followed the 'mill', could this have been floated by someone in Kovy's camp to gauge NYR interest?

to put your mind at ease .....Outta here ...til when

New Jersey was 3-0 against Tampa this year. The Lightning is a much better match up for the Devils than having to face Boston.
- airjan23

Completely agree Jan. Its going to be the big upset of the 1st round.

So you are predicting a record, 8 games 7's?......Very Unlikely.

Debated going six or seven games in several rounds. In 2014, we had seven Game 7s

I would have rather had them win the cup this year and completely tank next year.
