Sam Weinman at The Rangers Report gives us some in-sight on playoff scenarios for the Rangers..."...my understanding is yes, if Carolina loses in regulation to Tampa Bay tonight, the Rangers are in.
Furthermore, if the Devils get even a point, the Rangers would be guaranteed not having to play Ottawa in the first round because the Senators then couldn’t catch New Jersey...
...In fact, what may qualify as a best case scenario for the Rangers is a four-five match-up against the Devils while the surging Capitals meet Ottawa in a three-six. That way one of those two teams—both of which contain a bit of an X-factor—is gone after the first round."
...not sure I agree with Weinman that a best case scenario for the Rangers is to play the Devils in the first round. If you don't think Brodeur is going to have a chip the size of "The Rock" on his shoulder heading into that series you're out of your mind. For me the best case scenario would be to face a Carolina team that is tied for 26th in the league for goals against.
