Cant believe the Rangers won the draft lottery btw, winning the Alex Lafrienere sweepstakes. Can see him play in Hartford which shouldn't be long at all (barring the obvious).
Zero chance Laferriere will play a single game in the AHL.
But as a Rangers fan, I honestly didn't think they had a shot to advance to the playoffs, but this experience was so helpful for the young players to build on.
Winning the lottery was insane and it's a big exclamation point for a major kudos to the team for actually following through with a real rebuild.
Back to the playoffs, Bergeron is unreal. He's one of the most underrated players in the NHL today. Not a huge difference between him and Pavel Datsyuk, IMO. Great game this morning/afternoon.
