This year's 50 is more impressive than others because he is surrounded by garbage in Arizona.
Clayton Keller may be the most talented guy on the Rangers.

I really hope Chicago gets ****ed by the lottery and moves down. I actually like the Hawks but they've had enough luck already (plus they won the lottery to draft Kane, Philadelphia should have drafted 1 OA) and if they win Dahlin in their first bad year that would just be unfair.
Chicago isn't even dressing their top players anymore. It's full on F this league and we are tanking and not hiding it.
I think our defense is so putrid it doesn't matter who's in net at this point.I bet people on the outside think we're doing the same by not playing Lundqvist much.
If only we could stop turning out amazing goaliesI bet people on the outside think we're doing the same by not playing Lundqvist much.
7th isn't happening unfortunately. never really was. Our hope now is to stay 10 or 9. Islanders may just beat us and no one else rest of year lolIf the Islanders (hoping for 3pt game!) And Oilers win in conjunction with a Rangers loss, the Rangers will have 8th worst record in the league. Chicago would also be just 2pts behind the Rangers (Rangers would have 1 game in hand).
Finishing 7th worst would guarantee a top 10 pick.

You do realize they just lost at home to a team that got blown out at home to the worst team in hockey the night before right? You do realize we have the most competent of goaltending by a fair margin with all those teams right? All i'm saying is its just as realistic to get 9th or 10th as it is to move to 7th or 8th.You do realize that the Isles have Ottawa and Detroit on their schedule yeah?

Actually more realistic. Unlike the thought that a couple of weeks ago thought that we would actually would have a chance at being in bottom 5.
Yeah, but you were also out there trumpeting about how this team was not any worse than teams like CBJ and Florida, they didn't get the memo.
FYI, Arizona is no longer the worst team in hockey, the team we just blew out is. Might want to check what the Coyotes have done since the new year: Spoiler alert- they've been good.
Ranger schedule isn't exactly easy shakes from here on out either. They've got 3 games against 2 division leaders who are trying to wrap up home ice advantage and other teams still trying to secure their spots in NJ and Philly with games vs the Canes and Isles (who we never beat) mixed in - those last 4 are on the road where the Rangers have been anything but good this season.
We easily have the most competent goaltending, but against the leagues elite it hasn't really mattered. They got that one lucky win in Winnipeg and squeaked by Pittsburgh a few weeks ago (who the Isles just also beat), they've been beaten by everyone else who is worth a damn, guess who most of the schedule is comprised of?
Plus its not like the Isles will be facing Ranger level goaltending against Detroit and Ottawa. Ottawa in particular is almost just as bad as the Isles are in terms of letting up goals.
Think Tampa is going to be like a 2nd round maybe even 1st round exit. They either show up to play or totally disappear. Nothing in between. Kinda stinks, was really rooting for them, for a lot of different reasons.
Vasilevsky has been pretty bad since January.
That and Tampa's PK sucks. You can win the cup with a bad PP, but you won't find a team that wins one with a bad PK.
I felt columbus was a good team that was really underachieving. I'm still not sold on florida. I hope they get in but still doubtful about them.
Aren't you the one that was trumpeting that this team would be able to drop to bottom 3-5. well as we have seen that isn't even close to happening. What have they gone since the trade deadline? 6-4-2.
You made a mistake. the hawks lost to the pathetic canucks not arizona. vancouver is the worst team in hockey not arizona.
So where do you feel we end up placing when all is said and done? you don't think the rangers can secure 5-6 points the rest of the way ?
They could be playing NJ in round one who i believe they have not beaten this season.
Really wanted to see a tampa florida first round.
Well if they face NJ ,can go to a game up here.I already have a planned trip next month to go to Tampa for a game. But coming back for one also would be pretty cool. Also its not MSG so won;t be paying a crazy amount, lol.
The only thing is NJ will be a tough 1st round, and if they get Boston 2nd round think that is where they exit. But hope I’m wrong.
