The rangers have 1 cup since world war 2. You're currently celebrating top of the standings in december. But you know what they say, stanley cups are won off the backs of unsustainable play by your backup goalie in november

I'm not worried. Jonathan quick won't be playing in the playoffs. The rags wouldn't have the balls to bench Shesterkin

So we'd be going against the 10-7 0.902 Shesterkin.

12-4-1 with our Captain in the lineup.

But hey all you have to do is hope that all of the devils best players are injured, and maybe then you can win a series

Igor at his worst is light years better than anything the devils put in net which is 2 garbage cans lmao

The rangers beat up on LAK and Boston this season without having a fully healthy lineup. So I ain’t worried about the devils

If by "beat up on LAK" you mean your backup stood on his head (again, Jonathan Quick will not be seeing a playoff game unless igor is hurt or gets pulled), vs the kings backup goalie (who again, will never be seeing a playoff game).

You should be worried. Rangers lost to Jersey last year with Igor playing the best hockey of his life, and the rangers roster is worse this year.

Devils core of 19 year old nemec, 20 year old hughes, 22 year old hughes, 22 year old mercer, and 21 year old Holtz is just gonna get better and better every day.

But hey, hopefully 40 year old quick will be strong as ever after a long regular season. Because as everyone knows, NHL athletes peak in their 30s and DEFINITELY aren't more impacted by the slog of a regular season

The rangers biggest factor of success will be sitting on the bench opening doors in the playoffs.

And the devils biggest weaknesses will be either opening doors or in the press box.

there's no brendan smith to pick on in a devils playoff lineup. Chris Tierney, Max Willman, and Sam Laberge won't be on the ice during a playoff game. And vitek vanacek will be on the bench.

Stood on his head against LAK??? The barely had 2 goals expected on the rangers lmao

But you’re right. Every single win the rangers have had is extremely lucky and they’re honestly the worse team in the league. They should sell at the deadline and start a rebuild

Yea true devils are extremely stacked and every team should just stop trying because they’re a lock for the Stanley cup. Alright everyone hand the devils the cup and pack up the season until next year, it was fun!

The rangers are a mediocre team 5v5. That's where playoff series are won.

Anything can happen in the playoffs, but with a fully healthy devils lineup and Schmid in the starters net, I'm not worried.

Better just hope Meier and or Mercer don't start clicking.

If the devils are way better than the rangers because they beat them in the playoffs, then by your standards you should be terrified of Carolina because they smacked that ass and embarrassed y’all

Carolina is a fantastic hockey team yes.

But it wasn't about that. It was about the way we beat you.

Igor played the best hockey of his life. He stood on his head and bailed you out time and again.

But the devils were just so much better 5v5. Controlling play, generating chances, putting pucks on net. You had a 42% xGoals share 5v5 (to put that into perspective, that would rank 31st in the NHL behind the blackhawks at 43%, but ahead of the sharks at 40%). Thorough domination.

Now the canes outplayed us, but they didn't dominate play like we did against you. And the canes don't look as dominant as they have in past years. But yeah I'd much rather play the rags in the playoffs than the canes

Dude in the three wins in the playoffs the rangers won 5-1 lmao. Consider yourself lucky the rangers choked extremely hard and had an incompetent coach behind the bench

But like I said, enjoy your Stanley cup from last year because we know Hughes said it was the only thing that mattered, which is why they got wiped the floor with 😂

I advise you to go watch the games again. Vitek played awful, Shesterkin played out of his mind. And you still lost.

The goaltending gap gave you guys like a 14 goal difference in 7 games. And you still managed to lose the series. Because like I said, you were thoroughly DOMINATED in terms of actual hockey. Now just imagine if the devils get average, or good goaltending, and Shesterkin plays like he's been playing lately. Yikes

gonna do two takes on this one:

team "we need to win one game today and today only" (aka the Space Jam method):
Panarin
Mika
Horvat
Kreider
Miller
Fox
Pulock
Sorokin

team "we're building a team from scratch so contracts matter" (aka the OOTP method):
Barzal
Mika
Lee? Neither of these guys strikes me as the type to hit their mid-30s without falling off a cliff so I'll take the guy who's off my cap quicker.
Miller
Dobson with the hope of unlocking a little more and not having to pay him until the cap goes up
Pulock
Sorokin

True this way really puts it into more perspective. But overall I probably agree too
