Lol Homerish.... Rangers are better in net and on defense than both teams. The Rangers beat the ducks 4-2, 7-2, split with the Hawks... Hawks have Kyle Cumisky as their 6th dman. Rangers had a great regular season and got home ice.. Ducks are a 2 line team like TB.. Rangers are tough as hell to eliminate on home ice...Still sound homerish?
The Rangers have +/- against both WC teams if they end up playing either. They are sort of a mirror image of Chicago without as much high end talent but better goaltending. Anaheim might bang them around pretty good but the Rangers are a quicker team with a decided edge in goal.
They would probably end up in a game 7 against both. Especially if Z somehow returns and contributes. Getting a puck mover like Yandle helped cut the gap even more with the WC elite.
Anyone you are so confident in your team is blind homerish. Never mind that the team you root for had the best overall record and best road record in the league. Never mind that the team has been one of the best in the league for the past 3 seasons. Never mind the fact their goalie has an unbelievable record in elimination games.... Lets just ignore all that shit because I am a huge cheerleader and I have absolutely no fucking idea what I'm talking about. #BELIEVE
The East has been weak for years now which is part of the reason why a flawed team like the Rangers can keep making it deep into the playoffs even though they keep going down in series and forcing Gm 7's. There just aren't many good teams that can make us pay for the stupidity. I can totally see why some would consider the WC team as the favorite for the Cup. Hawks throwing out Kanes/Toews/Sharp/Keith/Hossa is a pain the ass to deal with, and Ducks throw Getzlaf/Perry/Kesler/Silfverberg at you so it doesn't get any easier. Yes, we have an edge in goalie, but the importance of a top flight goalie to win the Cup is greatly diminished. I mean, Ben Bishop is taking us to a Gm 7 and had us down 3-2 in the series. I repeat, BEN FUCKING BISHOP. Before that it was Braden Holtby who made us sweat it out. We're not exactly talking the Belfour/Roy/Hasek/Brodeur type of competition here. ANA has had no problem getting to the same spot we're in right now (Gm 7 of CF's) with a goalie most non-Duck fans have never heard of.
who would have thought the first one to jump ship when the team is down in a game would turn around and be its biggest defendant? lol
so you call them flawed yourself in previous game threads, so now when others say they're flawed you challenge that? lol makes no sense.
East isn't weak.. Ducks had the easiest path to the CF. Hawks had the second easiest. Throwing a Chuck line out there 31 - it is what it is
4 of the last 5 SC winners are from the west and in none of those wins did the series go 7. Must be due to the strong East, lol
This bickering back and forth is worse than my two daughters when they're tired. It's game seven tonight. Worry about the other stupid shit later.
