Greetings:

 

The Rangers are installed as favorites:

It looks like Elliott versus Shesterkin.  

 

Watching the team reminds me of the early years when all the expansion clubs played in the Western Conference to allow for at least one of them to get to a Stanley Cup series.  We were typically eaten alive by the Original Six and a close game was a moral victory. Watching the team these days brings back those memories.  It isn't pleasant.

The real question here is not if the Rangers will win but if Mika Zibanejad will get another natural hat trick and have another 6 or 7 point night against the gentleman from Philadelphia.

 

Magic 8 ball says: it seems likely 

 

Rangers 8- Flyers 2

I dont understand.

 

Is there some precedent in recent play for this assessment?

Rad: Thanks for the morning chuckle. It's interesting. I would have expected -1.50 or higher for the Rags. These odds expect some chance for the home squad. Maybe bookies have rose-colored lenses too.

I am having an internal debate over watching. And if I watch, is it to see a big loss that makes it clear the team needs break-up? I agree with some of the journalists that CF is not in a good spot. But at this point, getting picks for Elliott,  Raffl, Ghost, or whomever makes sense. Some say Laughton as well. Fine.  I wouldn't struggle to make the playoffs.

Please don't share pictures of my wife on the internet.

 

Or at least not on here. I mean, this is where I come to escape.  This just isn't right, dude.

I was afraid of that...he stoned the Flyers the other night...kid stood on his head.

 

I mean he literally stood on his head laughing at what was going on the other end of the ice.

Not taking anything away from the guy but not saying much vs this impotent Flyer club.

Since they're so soft..they wouldn't know how to "hit" on anyone, in the whorehouse. It might not be entirely applicable, but this team is softer than Charmin...so I had to use that line. It was there. BOOM!!!

That sorta looks like face acupuncture, which would still be more enjoyable than watching this Flyers team.

And with a weak draft they picked the wrong year to self tank.

 

Flyers can't even do mediocre right.
