#NYR hockey. Analytics. Henrik Lundqvist is a handsome alien amongst us.

The standings squeeze may make it look like NYR are right in the mix. It's a mirage.

Washington are in the second Wild Card spot and are on pace for 94.6 points. To match that, NYR will need to play at a 104-point pace the rest of the way. That's a top-five NHL team.

Part of this #NYR inability to score is driven by Panarin not being a threat. Thru 4 GP:

- 0 high danger shot attempts vs. 10 low danger shot attempts
- 11 of his 16 total shot attempts have either missed the net or been blocked

Breadman needs to get going

Maybe the Rangers can get an NHL-quality season out of Conor Sheary (he signed a cheap deal with them) but then again, maybe not.

The note on Dolan is interesting to me. I don’t think Drury is going anywhere, but the players are going to throw him under the bus. We’ll see how Dolan interprets that

Rangers out of a playoff spot, giving up leads and playing poorly against a team worse than them, Sam and JD on the call

Share the link, so when the Rangers are losing 5-0 after the first period tonight vs. Leafs we can get some relief

Here's another way to look at the Shesterkin contract. Based on projected future salary caps, what would be the equivalent cap hit THIS season?

Here is how Igor Shesterkin's contract projects to compare to those of Sergei Bobrovsky and Andrei Vasilevskiy. Reposting with complete information.

Anyone telling you that Shesterkin's contract is prohibitive to building a cup contender is completely ignoring reality.

This also screams of Drury saying β€œlook at this great player I acquired, now he’s part of MY core going forward”

Scrolled back and found the #NYR team RAPM chart from 11/23/24 to put it side by side to now. All tracks to what I posted yesterday.

5v5 offense has slowed, but 5v5 defense has improved a bit. Power Play generating a ton, Penalty Kill also improved and benefitting from strong goaltending.
