Tampa is getting hot and they have that winning pedigree, but correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t think we would face Florida until the ECF AND they have the red wings leap frogging the lightning and the leafs when they’ve played like shit the last 2 weeks. Those matchups make no sense, how the fuck would Florida play Philly and the canes play the leafs?? Lmao

Very interesting take that the league is going to change the entire playoff format a month before they start…. This is an impossible bracket and shouldn’t be paid any attention to
jkman61494
Don’t get me wrong. I want the 1-8 model back. The crap they have now is AWFUL
But FFS. You are NHL NETWORK. How the hell do you mess up a playoff bracket
They likely have Bruins 1, Rangers 2 , Florida 3 and Carolina 4 in this for what it’s worth

I’m not having the most awake morning and looking at this hurt my brain. I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how I missed them changing the playoff format.

Keith who? I want everyone to underestimate us. This is a better team than the one that went to the ECF and dominated a back to back champion for two games before running out of gas. Last year taught us not to take anything for granted. The team has overcome a lot of challenges and failures the last few years. Once we get our top 2 defensemen back and young guys ready to step up, I really like our chances.

Imagine not knowing the playoff format for the league your network is named after. That alone disqualifies these brackets imo.
It looks like they’re saying rangers would win the Metro and play wc1, which may be Tampa. Why is that impossible?
cha-cha_dancer
Even if the bracket is not possible, drawing Tampa is and that is worrisome. Good with any other matchup.

How do they put this on television with impossible first round matchups?
elarobot
Whatever. Not even worth getting worked up about how possible these matchups are. I’m so very fine with nobody talking about this team outside of NY. Let the hockey writers and NHL network drool over someone else and heap a ton of unnecessary hype & lofty expectation elsewhere. Put that pressure on some other shoulders and let the Rangers just play.

Whatever. Once you’re in the playoffs anything can happen. And our team is SOLID this year. Bring it.

I think Mike’s been hitting the crack pipe too much if he thinks the bolts will shut the Rangers down in the first round!

Imagine thinking the best team in the NHL this year is going to get bounced in the first round to an old team that’s barely making it into the playoffs
Upbeat_Shock_6807
Holy hell. How does the NHL network not know how their own playoff format works lmao. Besides that though, Rangers are always hated on and doubted even when they lead the entire league in wins and points percentage with just 12 games to go.

I don’t believe this

Everyone’s worried about Tampa, I’m not. They’re a dangerous team but so are we. I like being the underdogs. If we’re good enough to hoiste the Cup, we’re good enough to take down any team in a 7 game series.

NHL Network needs to catch a grip — NYR ALL THE WAY!

NHL Network has been pure garbage the past year at least, it’s sad
JayTee245
On paper it should be this way… but screw it, it’s the playoffs! Anything can happen!!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!!!
Marshmallow5198
NHL network seems to have failed to take into account NO QUIT IN NY. Fuck this bracket, fuck Florida, and fuck the whole western conference. Rangers in 5 baby boys!
tiggertom66
This is an impossible playoff bracket, they put east on the left and west on the right, and they have Winnipeg winning the cup.
Whoever was responsible for this needs to be assigned to follow updates on the Coyotes new stadium that is for sure coming any day now
Independent-Switch43
It’s gonna be Rangers Canucks so…yeah
IronCheff92
Perfect. Give them that chip on the shoulder. I prefer it this way.

I know the seeds are messed up but why would you ever have the West on the right side and the east on the left side lol

My bracket has us beating the Dodgers in the Super Bowl. Can I have a job?

jaypeedee1025
They have been getting doubted since training camp and they have done a good Job tuning that noise out.I think last year has them more then motivated for the playoffs .Last night after such a complete game I said to myself there ready let’s goooooooo
jaypeedee1025
Look regardless if we want that cup we are going to have to beat some really great teams but after last night in Boston we are one of those great teams.Other fan bases won’t admit it because of how they extra hate us lol but this team can beat anyone .Saturday night is the Game against Florida that the first true playoff test.I want Rempe to park himself infront of Bob and never move ever lol
