There’s no pretending here that last night’s loss wasn’t devastating to the Rangers playoff chances. Mathematicians over at MoneyPuck have dropped the Blueshirts post-season odds to a paltry 6.8%. Yet there’s still a ray of hope in the next four games.
Blueshirts are still in it
As bleak as it looks right now, especially considering all the teams ahead of them won last night, there’s still a slim chance. However, there’s no more runway and four straight wins against the Flyers (2x) and Sabres (2x) are absolutely imperative.
Because right after that, the Rangers will get a chance at redemption with two more games against the team that thrashed them 6-1 yesterday.
