Give me good defense, great goaltending and depth scoring over PPG players any day of the week.

Anything else is a bonus.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

While it'd be great to have your guys score over PPG till their arms fall off. Depth scoring is also nice.

I.E the rangers have 3 Defensemen who are 1 pt away from hitting double digits in points. While the leading forward (stepan) is a "decent" 12 pts in 16 games.

Darn.

That's what not drafting in the top 5 for a chance at OV, Crosby, Kane, etc... will get you (major credit to TBL for finding Johnson).

Rangers have scoring depth, thats what has kept them competitive. That and their best player is in goal. There are many different ways to win.

Like getting dominated and getting lucky.

It's good to see how our young players have stepped up big time this postseason. Stepan, Kreider and Brassard have carried the offense with Hayes, Fast and Miller contributing up and down the ice. Those are all top 6 guys and haven't even hit their prime yet.

This is a non-issue. Consider that Tyler Johnson at this point is only slightly above a point per game (17 points in 16 games) and with 2/3 games against Lundqvist plus maybe another series against another really strong defensive team isn't all that good a bet to finish ahead of that mark. From 2011 to 2014, only 12-13 Krejci was above a p/g of players who have went to the cup finals. The Rangers haven't had big time star forwards in their recent run and they've usually gone deep enough to not have some cheap 6 points in a 5 game opening round loss for whoever to meet that criteria.

I'd say Brass is in his prime right now.

Lundqvist only has ONE assist in all those years...and people say he's one of the best? Wow.

 

[imfree19]

This is why people call them a "boring" team. No real standout players. Just solid offense with great defense.

It's ridiculous that somehow Hank is absolved of all the Rangers offensive woes. He stinks on the power play.

We need him to contribute on the scoreboard, trickle down offense eh Reaganomics?

Exactly. If your top guys produce eventually it will trickle down to the rest of the line-up. Offense trickles down, not up. Nothing trickles up.

I think the hilarious thing about that is that they didn't re-sign Jagr after that season but decided to roll with the Drury/Gomez duo.

I remember those playoffs, Rangers lost to the Pens 4-1, but Jagr was easily the best player in the league for those two playoff rounds.

 

[tony d]

Shows how much depth they have. 3rd conference final in 4 yrs. and don't have a guy above a ppg.

 

[Classicnamesup]

The Kings haven't had anyone over PPG since 09/10 and they have actually won something.

 

[Machinehead]

We're just not built that way. We're doing fine regardless of everyone's expectations that we must have a franchise forward.

 

[Steamwhistle]

Useless stat.

All the cup winners since the '09 - '10 season won the cup without any players above a PPG.

 

[De Montreal]

Make me realize Derick Brassard has really established himself as a playoff performer. Maybe I'm late but his stats are pretty good : 35 points in 52 games. I bet he was hungry for some playoff hockey after missing it his first 6 years in the league.

 

[BusQuets]

Because they play very defensive style and limit opponents offense. Very boring team.

You don't watch the Rangers play. Thanks for letting us know.

 

[hockeykicker]

is that really a big deal in the playoffs?

 

[hockeykicker]

how many teams have players above a ppg in the playoffs anyways?
