Let's not forget that Ryan Callahan was sidelined for 19 games from Dec. 16 through Jan. 25.
Yet the Rangers not only survived his absence but played over the .500 mark (10-7-2) in that stretch.

:thumbup:


LETS GO RANGERS !

Drury might make it back in time for playoffs ?

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

How nervous are you guys over here? I gotta say I'm pretty nervous from where I stand. All I need is to gain one point or for Carolina to lose one point. . . but I've watched my team miss the playoffs by just one point before. . . and I don't want to bring up any bad memories for you either.

I hate the Hurricanes. I really don't want to see them in.

GOTTA GIVE IT UP TO THE CANES....they are winning every game

im not nervous ..we need to just win our games and not worry..if we lose ..we don't deserve anything


that being said ..i hope it doesn't come down to the devils on sat afternoon

Break The Sky

Yeah, I really hope it doesn't come down to the BJ's for me either. I know that's a game we should win, but if we don't, I'll have that lingering in my mind for a whole year.

I'm very against hockey teams being located below the Mason-Dixon line. Why Gary Bettman ever thought that Atlanta, Phoenix, Miami, Tampa, Dallas, and Carolina would have successful franchises is beyond me. Atlanta already had a team once and they got moved to Calgary because no one gave a fuck.

I know this doesn't apply to the playoffs right now, but god damn, there are people in Winnipeg and London and Hartford and Halifax and Seattle and even Anchorage that would love to have a hockey team and would be able to support them better than these pathetic southern locations.

God I hate Carolina.

we could end up w/ 93 points and MISS the playoffs :?

Carolinas remaining games:

Carolina @ Atlanta ( I'd go with Carolina here )
and
Tampa bay @ Carolina ( You'd think Tampa but who knows )

I can forsee this race ending in a tie, possibly in wins and total points,
which doesnt fare well for our Black and Blueshirts, because Carolina won the season series ( the next tie breaker ) , 6 points to 4 points , so we'd be out.

:shock:

Yeah, and I love how teams that play in the west try to make up excuses about how their conference is so much more difficult than the east. I'd love to play Edmonton and Colorado and Calgary six times a year each.

Nothing is a guarantee ever in hockey . . . but damn, could have really used that win by Detroit.

Although I despise the Flems don't they have more points than the Sabres right now???

I knew I was going to hear from you after that post.

I will revert to my go to statement on the matter and say that I see the Eastern Conference as the NFC of the NHL.

Calgary also has played 81 games and we've only played 80, which means we're pretty much even. We'll hopefully make it :silent: and they won't this year. The difference is, Calgary hasn't tried to become a better team in years, they continue to lean completely on Iginla, where the Sabres have taken strides to become a better team. Year after year I'd rather face a team like Calgary than a team like the Senators.

I guess it's splitting hairs, but I think next year you will see the 8th seed in the east with more points than the 8th seed in the west.

My team is 6-0-0 vs. the Northeast division this season. So if you'd like to move to the Central, I'm sure we could work something out.
