Right now I would say the way the Rangers are playing:

Against the MET in the playoffs:
Rangers v Pens -Pens win 4-1
Rangers v Caps - Caps win 4-0
Rangers v. Islanders - Islanders win 4-3
Rangers v. Flyers - Flyers win 4-3

They're in a funk, sure. But no chance the Flyers could beat the Rangers in a series.

When they continue to score 4 to 5 a game, the goalie seems slightly less important.

This will be unpopular, but it's always around now that I think the season is too long. The sun is out, the snow is gone, the bikes are ready... Not really setting the mood for hockey but there is a ton of it left, Of course, having no Canadian teams left might bias that a little

Just want the pens to get out of this before Simmonds or Gudas tries to kill someone.

While I'm ok with the season being a little shorter, although not right now as the Wings need all 82, I always love hockey when it's getting a little warmer out. But I have plenty of good times to remember that makes me like it.

Pens are really faster this year with Sheary and Hagelin. That's gonna bode well for them in the playoffs.

Damn. Did not see that coming. Thought they'd come out pumped up and gunning knowing that a win would put them ahead of both Detroit and Boston.

Best of luck to Stamkos tomorrow. Sucks to loose him for the stretch and playoffs, that said he made the right call. No sense in fucking with blood clots, scary times. TB is in a bind with Stralman gone too. Bishop is going to have to play great and Hedman will have to carry that defense. Yzerman might even have to bring up Drouin to get some fresh and healthy legs to help on offense.

Yeah, they sure are. Haven't missed a beat since Malkin went down. Outside of them and the Caps (maybe the Ranger if Hanks gets on fire) I do not see any team in the east that would give a West team too much trouble.

The biggest thing is that Zadorov had his head down and I think that is what made it worse. From first view it still looks like the contact is still in the chest.

This is pretty how much how I felt about it. Leaving the feet is something that will always happen after contact is made, it's problematic when the players jumps into the hit, which is not the case here

Another point though to go on the side against Wilson. He has a history of questionable, hard hits so that will play a factor. Another thing, while I mentioned that he glided into the hit I should point out its not like he went in soft or slow. He had full steam when he crushed Zadorov so essentially he charged him without his feet pumping. It was still a violent hit and he traveled quite far to make the hit, so yea essentially still a charge.

Surprisingly, Wilson still has never been suspended, though he's been close. It was clearly violent but I think that was the intent. He did travel a long way to make it but I don't see a charge. It looks to me that he maybe did slow up just a touch before making contact. He certainly didn't stride into the hit.

Rangers v. Detroit - Rangers win 4-3

I don't think anyone in the world thinks this would be the outcome except you. No way the Caps sweep anyone, especially not the Rangers. Come on.

Sadly, what Sarah said. It took until basically the next day for the hockey world to stop caring. But his all star moment is eternal.

Yeah, too much. The Avs would have to earn 6 out of 6 points while the Wild earn 0 out of 4 points.

That ain't happening.

Not Matty, but I agree with Patrick's criticisms. 30 goals is something to be proud of. Being down 4-0 in the 3rd period, late in a year where you're going to miss the playoffs for the second straight year after showing so much promise two years ago is not.

It's ok for Duchene to be happy about a personal milestone, but the celebration was a bit much. Your team is getting ready to finish a pretty disappointing season and you're gonna celebrate like that, even when you're getting steam rolled 4-0? Not a great look into opinion

Wayne Simmonds with one of the dirtiest plays i've seen this year :lol

Agreed, the All Star game thing was great and a wonderful story but he is pretty irrelevant at this point!

Agreed, just pump your fist and act like you have been there before (he has been close to 30 a few times before) then ask for the puck to put on your trophy wall!

It's safe to say he had little impact on the game either way.

And John Scott, wasn't he the lead singer to AC/DC? (Womp womp.)

Finally got around to watching it, and here's the thing: I watched it over and over again to try and find something wrong with it, and I'm just having a hard time. It wasn't a blindside (Zadorov happened to be trying to corral the puck), Wilson was gliding at that point and didn't jump into him - he skated through him just like we were talking about with the Reaves hit a while back, and the hit was shoulder on shoulder. I have high hopes for Zadorov and I hate to see him get hurt, but that seems like a clean, hard check to me.

On the other hand, I can't blame Zadorov much either. He was trying to regain control of the puck and couldn't have done much else. Wilson could have let up a little, he didn't have to freight-train him like that, but he did it and he did it within the rules as far as I can see. There's the longstanding argument between us of whether he SHOULD just because he COULD, but I think we've all pretty much established our sides of that battle.

So frustrating. I mean, I'd almost RATHER the Wild be winning while the Avs lose, y'know? At least I can say then that the Wild simply deserve it more. But to have the Wild faltering and the Avs not being able to take advantage of it? That sucks even worse. Granted, the Avs have a tough schedule, but I feel like they've just given up.

My thoughts on Duchene's celly, or Roy's critical comments? I'll try to give both at the same time. I really like that Roy is actually coming down on his players. He admitted after the Washington game that his approach of "trust" with his players has perhaps been too soft and that he needs to start holding more players accountable for their play, or lack thereof. He specifically called out the leadership core, which I have questioned recently as well. I think it's needed.

As for Duchene's celly, yeah it was kinda crazy for a 4-1 game. I know he's excited to get #30, but I would think that the whole playoffs thing would cause him to be a bit more focused and business-like. I don't know, maybe I'm just old-school.
