He has to be in the lineup game one, Wilson is going to attempt to establish himself and set the tone for the series early.
Easy guy to root for. Just 21 years old, father died 6 years ago and it was the 1st time his mom saw him play at MSG.
Saw that in his postgame presser. That's so cool. Imagine your son playing in the world most famous arena as a 21 year old and hearing the entire arena chant his name when he steps on the ice and then the crowd goes insane when he scores? Had to be an emotional day for her.
I'm sure he was too innocent to ask but someone from the Rangers should have taken care of that.
Awful collapse for the Islanders. I found myself in the uncomfortable position of wanting them to win. I want that series to go as long as humanly possible, but the Isles pissed away a prime chance to make this one interesting.
Yep. No arguing that one. They need to get swept so the owner can sweep the mess out of the front office, then let a new GM cook.
Defeating the Hurricanes will be an enormous task.
Carolina is a team built for the playoffs. And so is Florida, so crazy tough road ahead.
Carolina is without one of their top defensemen in Brett Pesce, at least for the rest of the series with the Isles. Which opens up room for Tony D’Angelo…always intriguing.
My analogy of the Rangers metrics admittedly ignores how opportunistic we are, or how good our special teams and goaltending is.
Subverting the cap. Your Rangers will have a half a million dollar penalty or so. Bettman's favorites have subverted the cap 3 years in a row by using an extra 9.5 to 10 million, it is not right.
A long list of teams including your NYR, as they will have about a half a million dollar penalty. Oh I posted this because no rules were broken by any team getting this penalty as it primarily came down to bonuses.
There's nothing illegal. Million reasons to hate Bettman but thisn't one of them - its' collectively bargained - so unless there is evidence of manipulating injury reports, etc. there's nothing wrong.
LOL this is picking and choosing and it's wrong. If he penalizes these other teams, including your NYR, he should penalize Vegas, because none of these teams broke the rules either.
You're not making sense. This is negotiated in the CBA and there isn't anything wrong with it.
Vegas' loophole is Cap circumvention. Well so is the cap penalty over 10 teams are going to get. In both cases it has been said no one did anything wrong, but the NHL is not using the same logic.
Can you explain this other cap penalty you are talking about that 10 teams are going to get?
Classic guy everyone hates unless he's on your team.
Dude is such a POS. Who goes after a guy who just suffered an injury? I mean, Tom Wilson does, but it’s such a trash move.
I said the f word over and over again bc hes so important. Looks like he's okay but perfect example why they need to twist the knife tonight (and on PP).
After a goal no less. He was going to celebrate — that’s bush league. Reminds me of turgeon getting leveled years back after a goal
I have no doubt Rempe has been under orders to not engage. But now, I think Lavi gives him the green light to go with Wilson. Just can’t take the instigator penalty.
