They are playing decent enough now that I will call them Rangers in the thread title. Watch them fuck that up tonight.
They jumped 2 spots in the wildcard race with the OT win last night, they will move past Montreal with a win tonight. Only 4 points off the 1st wild card spot.
I won't say Kakko can't play in NY. The way the Rangers developed Kakko and Lafreniere is fucking retarded as I have proven beyond all doubt multiple times. If you look at every other team as I've pointed out when they have a high forward draft pick. They play them 17+ minutes a night and on the first PP unit from day one. It also doesn't help that Zibanejad is a retard and can't play with anybody other than Kreider and Buchnevich and no longer gives a shit about playing hockey. Plus, Chytil the poor bastard can't stay healthy. However, Kakko for his size is soft. He's not a playoff type of player.
The Devils are not out of range. The Rangers have games in hand. If they win their four games in hand, they’ll be three points behind the Devils. The Devils play Montreal and Boston and Philadelphia twice the next four games.
