It’s interesting because in a matchup like this New York is still following a similar trend to where they’ve been for a few years now. They’re an average at best 5v5 team which is probably reflective of them not being a deep roster to a man but having talent at the top of their lineup. Special teams & goaltending is where they really break through.

So despite being a “contender” this is a matchup the Flyers can potentially exploit them at 5v5 which they yesterday but you still have get through their goaltending.

Just finished this game. We should have won. The rangers are basically Igor and have been for awhile.

Couturier will start scoring goals if I drop him from my fantasy team

I dropped him a few weeks back and he has not started scoring.


My team is also in shambles right now

I think they can beat them in a playoff round. Much better than the against the canes. We may lose the 3rd pair and Laughton but can bring some kids in to help.

I don’t know I still think they lose a 7 game series to New York even with all that said. But I do think New York would be a better matchup for them compared to Carolina or even a Boston/Florida. If they make it, they’re probably playing one of those four teams.

Agreed. Igor alone could win it for them. I do think Ersson could be this years unicorn. If everyone is healthy and playing well he could win a series imo.

looking like, if we make it, it could be more as a wild card team. Carolina was more likely, but we play contenders every night almost and all of these injuries plus deadline losses.
