if the Rangers hit 3 GPG, they win the cup IMO.
Absolutely not. I would be shocked.
When the Rangers have two players like the Sedins, IMO the two most under-appreciate stars of the last 5+ years, who can single-handedly create offense for 20 minutes a night...sure.
Although apparently the only reason why they couldn't hit that number last year was Torts. All aboard the NYR summer hype train!
Please, don't make me spit out my morning coffee while dying from laughter
it will be close. They were at 2.62 goals/game last season.
To hit 3 per game they'd need an extra 32 or so goals over a full season, where would the extra goals come from?
Brad, kreider, Zuke, Pouillot, Brassard.
I think it's doable, but it will be close, i am guessing they will come in around 2.9/game this first season, if everything works out as planned.
I don't think people realize how lofty 3 per game is. There's years where only 5 or 6 teams get there.
It's difficult to have such a steady scoring rate like that on a regular basis.
So, predictions in GF-GA terms: 254-168 (+86 differential)

Unless you're the Penguins, then scrubs show up and turn into first team all-stars.
I can't tell you how much Kunitz and Dupuis annoy me.
a franchise couldn't have more luck

The emergences of Kunitz and Dupuis are a combination of good scouting and tying them to the hip of Crosby and Malkin, 2 of the best centers in the world.
How about Crosby's concussion history? Or Fleury's problems.
If you want to compare luck vs. the Penguins, the Rangers stumbling into Lundqvist would probably be the luckiest singular event.
