Wow you get a lucky season after being a total disgrace for ten seasons and everyone thinks they've won the cup. Everyone will shutup in a few weeks when they get ousted in the first or second round. LETS GO ISLANDERS!

GL in the East. We'll be waiting in the Cup Finals.

An original 6 Stanley Cup Finals matchup would be pretty cool actually, as long as the Rangers won of course. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

That would be great, but don't overestimate the chance of the Rangers. If you watched the game the other night, you would know that the Rangers have no chance in a series against Ottawa. With Ottawa, Carolina and Bufflo in the way, there is no chance the Rangers make the cup. Jagr has had a fantastic season, but I'm sorry, the team just isn't a cup contender.

If you read my original post then you would know that I'm in no way saying the Rangers will get out of the East and beat the Senators or Hurricanes.

Buffalo isn't a good team right now. If they can find their way before the playoffs start they will also be a team to reckon with. And of course you can't count out the Flyers and Gagne/Forsberg or the Devils and Brodeur.

No matter what, the playoffs this year are going to be really good.

If you call the Rangers season this year, "lucky" then you are a complete and total idiot and obviously have not watched a single hockey game or even highlight all season.

And who thinks they "won the cup"? Your reading comprehension sucks and don't be jealous that your team is run almost as poorly as the Knicks.

P.S. We Want Fishsticks!

Obviously they didn't get lucky every game this year. They have a solid team. They just got lucky that they were able to gamble on Jagr and have it pay off.

After putting together some of the worst teams of the past ten years, they finally got lucky and put together a solid team. No big deal in a league where over half the teams get in the playoffs.

It is very likely that the 2006 NYU College of Arts and Science Baccalaureate will be held in the Arena at Madison Square Garden. Only once local sports teams release their holds on the Arena can that space be reserved for the College's Ceremony. In the event that the Arena is not available, the Baccalaureate will be held at the Theater at Madison Square Garden (same address). Each student will be able to order a maximum of two guest tickets online, not including the student's own ticket. If the College is able to reserve the Arena, each student who ordered tickets online will be able to pick up a maximum of six guest tickets. It will not be necessary to change the already-placed order; students can simply pick up six tickets during the scheduled ticket pick-up times. If the Ceremony is in the Theater, only two tickets will be given to each graduate, with no exceptions made (space is VERY tight in the Theater).

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm hoping for a early first round exit so I can graduate in the arena.

If you want to pick on the Rangers for being lucky, you should start with Henrik Lundqvist. Even if Jagr plays like the Washington Jagr, a eunuch with skates, he's still scoring 80-90 points this season. The Rangers are still probably a playoff team. However, to pick up a top 5 goalie for free - that is luck. And I won't hear anything about scouting or any of that BS - picking superstars in the later rounds is basically luck.

They didn't just squeak into the playoffs. They are currectly 3 points ahead of the flyers for the Atlantic Division LEAD and 25 points ahead of your Islanders. Also a 3 seed in the playoffs. That's hardly just making the playoffs after being picked to finish 30th by a number of media organizations including SI.

All Ranger fans should thank the lockout for their season this year. Creating a salary cap allowed for their upper management to wake up and stop widly spending. The salary cap saved the team.
