You are getting sleepy, very sleepy. In a matter of moments you will forget what you have just witnessed. You will not remember the Canadiens making our defense look like swiss cheese, you will not remember our goaltender get pulled, you will not remember this game.
Why am I performing this mojo on you? Simple, the Rangers have to wait till Saturday to play next. The LAST thing these guys need is to focus on this loss. If they dwell on it, they could find themselves on the outside looking in. Remember, they are just 1 point ahead of 7 and 8, and only 3 points out of the playoffs. They absolutely, without a doubt, MUST win against the Flyers, and you know damn well the Flyers would cherish being the ones to knock us out of the playoffs.

I dont want to talk about this game anymore, its too painful. Here are the projections as of tonight:

How this works:

Basically what I do, is to take the points a team has managed till now, divide it by the games played, then multiply it by 82. That should accurately project what the team should finish like, unless there is an extreme streak one way or the other. I will no longer be including the points per game column because lets face it, you don’t care how many points per game!

As you can see, according to tonights calculations, I project the Rangers as MAKING the playoffs. Therefore using these numbers we can project what the Rangers would have to go over the remaining 5 games in order to secure the projected 93 points needed to secure the final playoff spot:
