I am fully ready to declare the Rangers as Cup champs if they win tonight, but also ready to denounce them as playoff-worthy if they lose.
Oh you already know how the post game is going to play out here
Rangers win: 50% of the fan base declares this team a contender, 48% are happy with the way they played but realize its just an exhibition game, 1% are miserable for what ever reason, 1% Bern and KreiderBomb trying to trade DeAngelo. 100% of the fan base is like "lol the Isles suck."
Rangers lose: 75% of the fan base panics, the streak before the pause was a fluke. 20% are happy hockey is back and realize that this is just 1 meaningless exhibition game. 4.9% decide to be miserable for what ever reason. .1% is SwedeAmerican trying to convince everyone that the Isles are cup favorites.
Igor shuts out the Isles: 99% of the fan base is in agreement that he should start. @nevesis cries in a corner until he remembers that Igor gives him another goalie to obsess over for the next 15 years, he joins the 99%. 1% thinks that Hank should start because the starting goalie position in the playoffs is seemingly a career achievement award.
Igor gets smoked: 80% of the fan base is convinced that everything hes done up to now is a fluke. 10% say he can't handle pressure situations. 10% waste their energy trying to calm everyone down.
Kakko has a monster game: 99.9% of the fan base is ready for him to rip the league a new one starting Saturday. Chosen still deems his performance disastrous.
Kakko does nothing: 99.9% of the fan base is ready to label him a "2nd liner at best in his prime." Chosen takes it a step further and says that his career will be a disaster, showing that he's moved on completely from Kreider.
Mika Scores: no one is surprised.
Mika doesn't score: ....does not compute.
Me no matter what happens: Staal blows and is going to hurt this team whether the games count.
You forgot ‘Go Away Staal refers to jas as old’ in at least one post.
When has that stopped you?Oh but that has nothing to do with tonight's game you old bat!
And I want to see Rooney Mara when I wake up in the morning.I want to see solid goaltending and a sound defensive structure. Good gaps, backchecking, and covering the middle. There's no time to practice this. They need to be on board mentally from the get go.

And Jas is frigging old.
Can we compromise and make intermission a 12 minute long commercial break?if its ever changed it will be made longer not shorter for more commercials and ad revenue
The Bruins are playing tomorrow at 7:00.....that should cover your requirements.I want to see solid goaltending and a sound defensive structure. Good gaps, backchecking, and covering the middle. There's no time to practice this. They need to be on board mentally from the get go.
Need those 55 second interludes though to keep the fans in front of the TV for dat ad revenueCan we compromise and make intermission a 12 minute long commercial break?
Maybe in Da Beauty League.Lias with the Gordie Howe hat trick.
If "hockey is back" only last four games for the NYR it's going go be like buying a bottle of Angel's Envy at the liquor store and dropping it fumbling for your keys trying opening your front door.
I called bullspit on that. There's no such thing as "only hockey!"The first glimmer of light in what has been a miserable 4 months plus for most. Yeah I know it's only hockey but still.

I think we missed a few.
Win or lose, there’s a contingent who will find fault with Trouba unless he has a monster game.
If Strome takes a penalty or doesn’t have a point, it’s confirmation that his season was a fluke and he’s a bum.
If Chytil has a big game, Strome is likewise instantly more expendable.
DeAngelo could have a hat trick and if there is one defensive play we can hone in on where he messed up, he’ll be a third pairing guy we shouldn’t invest in.
I’m sure we’re missing more.
Was misleading myself into thinking you were going to change your ways. #ImNaive5,618-0 NYR
Chytil (5,218)
Kakko (306)
Panarin (93)
DeAngelo (1)
LGR!!!!!!
