Hockey fans often hear the dreaded hangover of the Stanley Cup when the team lights up in the season after their championship. But the trophy hangover of the presidents?
Last season New York Rangers Calmped at the top of the regular season ranking. This season it looks less likely to even make play -offs.
When the game starts on Monday, the guards will be six points behind Montreal Canadiens For the second place of a wild card at the Eastern Conference. When there are only six games left, they will have to approach the table and will also need help from Montreal’s opponents.
Monday’s game is at home against Tampa Bay Lightning (19:00 ESPN +). Lightning has secured the bed but will still play hard because they have a chance to catch Toronto Maple Leafs For the best place in the Atlantic Division.
After Lightning hosts Rangers Philadelphia Flyersthen have three direct road games, against New York Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers. They close the season with another match against Blesk.
As already mentioned, New York will have to raise the winning lane to support his chances. As for Canadiens, they close somewhat simpler schedule: home against Detroit Red Wingson Ottawa Senators and maple leaves, then home for Chicago Blackhawks and hurricanes.
So that’s the task before Blueshirts. Will they pass?
