Dear fellow Rangers fans,
So, the Rangers are in the playoffs. But, they are not just in it. They are favored to lift the Stanley Cup, when it is all said and done.
Metropolitan Division Champions? Check.
Eastern Conference Champions? Check.
President’s Trophy for best overall team in the regular season? Check.
Home-ice advantage through all four rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs? Check.
With that last perk, comes great responsibility. No, I am not talking like Uncle Ben in the Spiderman movies (though I am partial to the Toby McGuire-starred movies).
No, I am talking about having the most important advantage afforded to a hockey team.
