Exactly. Don't take my arguments to say the Rangers are a great team or that we're better. All I'm pointing out is they've gotten lucky and probably overperforming and we've gotten really unlucky and are probably underperforming.
The Rangers are still a better team, but they've also gotten lucky to a degree, and we've gotten quite unlucky. It's a closer matchup than it looks.
Well there is no way that we could be as bad as the entire world seems to think.If for no other reason than we played with only five defenseman for a good part of the end of the year. Also, we are missing some guys, but it is funny how so many have been all over Letang, not just this year but most years, but suddenly his loss is like we have lost Bobby Hull, Mario and Gretzky all rolled into one. OMG, not Ehrhoff too??? Do I need to pull up the threads and quotes where everyone was calling him a waste of a signing. Yes, we have some no names replacing them, but all in all this team is fairly intact. That does not mean that the Rags should not be favored, are not better. It does mean that like with any playoff team, take them too lightly at your peril.
