Nice write up Jan. If this series goes 6 or 7 I will be be ecstatic.

Will all the former Rangers on Carolina, I tend to forget about Smith. I bet Drury wishes he could go back and extend him for a season.

Same, it would be amazing experience for the team and give them a true picture of what they need to do.

I think they are a better team if Smith is back instead of bringing in the Swedish Pylon.

That Florida game was boring as hell. Did they give free tickets to the retirement complexes down there?

I'll go against the grain - it should be Carolina in 4 or 5 - I say Rangers in 6. The heart will go on!

Nothing wrong with wanting your team to win. We can also look at it objectively and pick the other team too.


Everyone needs to remember that we can't predict anything in these playoffs. Anything can and will happen.

the analytics people want to take away our ability to BELIEVE and take the fun out of everything

That is why I don't read it sometimes. I get what they're saying but the analytics can't predict injuries or insane performances from one or two players.

I dont care about those people. I think we all know the Rangers are the underdogs. I like it though. We win, its that much better

My thoughts exactly.

Let Carolina have all the pressure and their fans all the stress. Rangers have nothing to lose and we the fans are just happy to keep watching NYR hockey.

Sometimes that’s a deadly combo.

Jimmy, do we need to add in a streaking guarantee for a trip to the Conference Finals?

Speaking of Incels, isn't Tom inching closer to his ban return?

streaking is only guaranteed with a Cup victory, I do have some dignity

Yeah, and if this was a one game series, I'd agree with you. Not taking away anything USA did in 80, but I think a 7 game series might of went differently.

For what it's worth, anonymous sources from around the league commented in an article about this series. Most think it will be a 6-7 game series. Kind of interesting.
