Best team in the West is 7th in the league. Im pumped for the playoffs as a habs fan. Im going in just to enjoy the hockey
I'm tired of this team scooping up all these players solely based on their geographic location. I'll have fun watching them go out in the first round.
Nooo this is still top news baby come on now its fucnin ny baby! LGR!!!!
Defense is the problem so they add offense oh classic Rangers 😂
Answering the question No
As a Rangers fan I'm fired up about this, but I'm also a realist that knows the Playoffs are an untrained beast. Anything can happen, to the low seed getting hot and the president trophy winner getting knocked out in the first round. One thing is for sure, the eastern playoffs are gonna be sick.
I am gonna love the playoffs this yr. I never seen a arms race for the cup, like this in a long time. My B's r favored yet I am not sold after all the trades. To make sure it won't be easy. Damn this gonna be fun.
Too many cooks in the kitchen.
I'm a devil's fan, so I'm just giddy to see some crazy good playoff games out of the east.
Vegas doesn’t think so. That’s the only opinion I really hold any weight on when it comes to sports predictions
Nope, until the Rangers actually do it, won't believe it. How many times did this team let Hank down in the past and why would it be different this time for Igor?
We were already winning games 4-2, now we will win games 6-4. However, playoffs are a different beast. This team is not going to win many 2-1 games and that is what is needed to win a cup. There will be some fun games, but I do not see the Rangers getting past round 2 unless goaltending and team defense vastly improves. Kane was completely unnecessary and may hinder the team chemistry with another star personality to contend with. We made our bed, time to lay in it and see what happens…. I HOPE I am wrong and this team finds a way to the cup.
Let's GO Rangers
No. No it doesn’t
We've had issues. Beat Boston and get a win streak then we'll talk. This past week has been humbling for us
if kane were to re sign what would the term and salary that NYR could afford him ?
Yes. Kaner is going to turn it up three notches and put up incredible numbers. He will be a force in the locker room when it comes to the playoffs. We Chicago fans wish the Rangers the best of luck, and I'll be rooting for them again, like I did in '94.
Honestly, this trade was ridiculous.
Congrats to Rangers fans.
A guy the level of Patrick Kane just getting handed to a top team for nothing and having most of salary retained too.
They just gave him what he wanted and didn't care how bad a deal it was for the team.
It's almost anticompetitive behavior, really.
Are they moving Tampa out of the east sometime soon?
The answer is NO….not even close.
Just not a fan. Kane was born to skate in those awesome Hawks jerseys.
Short answer is no
No. He's a great player but if he doesn't gel with the the team it could be their downfall. Just because you add a great player, doesn't mean you make a contender.
He’ll get slashed by some over zealous goofball and be out of the playoffs. Much ado about nothing.
Boston is still the team to beat. Have been all season and that’s not changing.
IMHO it's still the Bruins. They added to their already great depth at the deadline. When they got rid of Cassidy and manage to sign back 2 future HOF superstars worth $13.5M for $$3.5M all season, it's like getting to deal from the bottom of the deck.
Надеюсь Панарин и Кейн будут вместе до конца карьеры обоих в Нью-Йорк Рейнжерс 😎🦾🇷🇺
Leafs & Rangers are both first round exits, mark my words
No
