Ovechkin v Gretzky tonight on capitals Twitch channel 8 pm EST. Benefits/donations go to food bank in Edmonton and charity service in DC area that makes free meals for healthcare workers and first responders.
In this scenario, the Ducks and Sabres would get a shot at the cup and NYR wouldn't.
This would be a bummer for Ranger fans, but getting at worst 7th OA in this insane draft would be so awesome. It's gonna be a highly controversial Stanley Cup victory for whoever wins anyway.
If you can't even finish in the top 5 in your division, you don't deserve to go to the playoffs anyways (in this case, top 6 out of 8 with the Rags).
Idk man, when you compare the Metro with the Atlantic division the past few years things get messy. The 7th place Metro Rangers have a better win% than the third in the Atlantic (Leafs) with the same amount of games played. I have personally always hated this format.
But Ranger fans would mostly be bummed because we were hitting our stride at the end and NYI/CBJ/CAR were struggling to stay ahead. Would we win the cup? Not likely, but I most of us never expected us to. It is more about getting our many young kids a taste of playoff hockey and taking the next step in the re-build. The way some of our guys were playing, we could of easily stole a round. Boston is the only team I would of given us no shot against. Also, Panarin was in the Hart trophy conversation but that probably wouldn't happen if the season didn't play out anyway so I digress.
I'm taking all these rumors with a grain of salt anyway. Honestly, Ducks would be the real losers in this scenario. They desperately need the pick.
Merrith You know the world is coming to an end when Tom Wilson isn't the least likable Cap.
Don't know much about Leipsic, but the outrage is funny shit. I'm sure that's how most young pro athletes talk. Shit, I said my share of cringey dumb crap at that age myself.
He crossed the line making fun of his linemates for playing video games though. Fuck him!
