The Rangers D pairings are fascinating

Here they are with their 5v5 shots +/-

Girardi-McDonagh = -21
Holden-Staal = -5
Smith-Skjei = +1
Lunqvist bailing his team out hard

A shitty Pens photoshop, yep, the playoffs are here.
 
Yeah, but I'm a transplant from Ontario. Oilers fans have been so deliciously cute ever since McJesus showed up. I need their dreams snuffed out like a proper Grimm Brothers story :)

Ah that makes sense then. You'll probably get your wish this year, potentially versus Calgary in the second round.

"playing" dumb? unpossible
Can I root for the Oilers and still boo every time the Nutcracker touches the puck? God, just the mention of his name is pissing me off lol.

Ps. I was honestly amused when during the team introduction I thought the fans were booing him. But then I realised they weren't and I was mad. Do they not know the horror this man has left behind in the eastern conference?

Lundqvist's 55 saves were the most by a Rangers goalie in a playoff game in the expansion era (1967-68)
Goddamn

Pretty impressive considering how many playoff games the Rangers have played over the past few years

Look at those numbers and then realize that the final four defensive shifts of the third period were:

Staal-Holden
McDonagh-Girardi
Staal-Holden
McDonagh-Girardi

This loss is on AV.
Those numbers have to be an "off-night" scenario. That's just messed up otherwise.

Seriously though, Bruce Boudreau must've pissed off some wizard to lose in the 1st round as often as he does.

I think the Rangers d corsi numbers were due to score effects. The Habs had taken over the game and the top pairing played the most minutes so they had the biggest negatives.
