I live in a reality where the Isles will miss the playoffs again and hang their hats on beating the Rangers a couple of times?
Games at hand. Rangers always play more games early in the year than everyone else. You'll be knocked out soon enough, and Tom Renney can cry some more, and Ranger fans can try to justify their tortured existance.
I think the rangers will sneak in...they have some cash under the cap and maybe can add a solid defensemen at the trade deadline......
I'm pretty sure the Rangers are right up against the cap. TSN.ca lists their total salary as 46mil+, which is over the cap(although they say salary cap hits aren't necessarily the same) The Isles, on the other hand, have some 7 or 8 million in cap space, according to the same site.
who knows dude...Ive noticed that cap news neveer seems to be the same from two different sources.......I cannot tell you that I am sure about the ranger situation.....I still wish the NHL didnt suck eggroll.......I still watch because it was such a huge part of my life....but its so not the same...even the ranger/Islander rivalry sucks......what I wouldnt do to watch some 1981 NHL hockey
Same here, I wish I saw more hockey when I was younger and I didnt take it for granted, I dont know what sport Im watching right now.
