Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joins me to talk about the Rangers’ first Stanley Cup Final appearance in 20 years and why they aren’t as big of an underdog against the Kings as the media has made them out to be.

When the Rangers won Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Canadiens, I couldn’t believe they were headed to the Stanley Cup Final and a chance to play for a championship for the first time in 20 years. Or as I like to put it: the first time since I was in second grade.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joined me to talk about the Rangers’ first Stanley Cup Final appearance in 20 years, how the Rangers managed to reach this point after an up-and-down season and why the Rangers aren’t as big of an underdog against the Kings as people believe.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joins me to talk about the Rangers’ matchup with the Penguins and what will happen to Rick Nash if he continues to go scoreless in the playoffs.

It’s never easy when it comes to the Rangers and once again they needed seven games to get by their first-round opponent, but at least they got by the Flyers. Now things get a little harder with the Rangers going to Pittsburgh to start their conference semifinals series with the Penguins after just one day off with the two teams set to play three games over the next four days.

Brian Monzo of WFAN joins me to talk about how Martin St. Louis has impacted the Rangers in a way Ryan Callahan never could and whether Alex Burrows’ hit on Ryan McDonagh was dirty and deserving of a suspension.

Since the 2004-05 lockout, it’s taken an average of 92.3 points to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. I looked that up and did some math to come up with that number back on March 17 when the Rangers were 36-29-4 and coming off a devastating 1-0 home loss to the Sharks. The Rangers had 13 games left in the season and were going to need to win at least eight of them to have a chance at the playoffs. I was skeptical and wasn’t sure if I would get to watch playoff hockey this year or have to hate-watch playoff hockey this year. But since March 17, the Rangers have gone 7-1-0 and have 90 points, and if the math holds true, they need to win just one of their last five games to make the playoffs. So in honor of the Rangers’ recent run, I decided to do a podcast with person who told me with 13 games left that an 11-2-0 run wasn’t out of the question.

WFAN Mike’s On: Francesa on the FAN producer Brian Monzo joined me to talk about how Martin St. Louis has impacted the Rangers in a way Ryan Callahan never could, whether Alex Burrows’ hit on Ryan McDonagh was dirty and deserving of a suspension and if the Rangers can compete with the Bruins and Penguins in the playoffs.

Kevin DeLury of The New York Rangers Blog joins me to talk about the Rangers’ recent run that has them looking like contenders and why we don’t want but need a Rangers-Flyers playoff series

It hasn’t even been two weeks since I was petrified that the Rangers wouldn’t make the playoffs after their 1-0 loss to the Sharks at MSG. Since that devastating defeat, the Rangers have won five straight, Henrik Lundqvist has found his Vezina form, Ryan McDonagh has done everything except actually stitch the “C” on his jersey and Martin St. Louis has finally scored a goal. OK, so maybe the last part hasn’t happened, but it will. It has to.

The Rangers have provided their usual highs and lows this season, like a six-month Texas hold ’em game, with both emotional swings and standings swings. There have been times when they have made me believe they can compete with the Bruins and Penguins and other times when they have made me feel like an Islanders fan. Their current five-game winning streak has me thinking they can go on an extended playoff run and that scares me because it’s never a good idea to get too high on the Rangers.

Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer joins me to talk about joined me to talk about how the Flyers have survived the gauntlet portion of their schedule and how everyone is pulling for a Rangers-Flyers playoff series.

The Flyers were supposed to be eliminated by now. After their 1-7-0 start, a coaching change three games into the season and a scoreless Claude Giroux through the first 15 games of the season, the Flyers were supposed to be eliminated before Thanksgiving. And then after getting back into the race, with a post-Olympic break schedule that included the Sharks, Rangers, Maple Leafs, Penguins (twice in two days), Blackhawks, Blues, Kings and Rangers twice, they weren’t supposed to make it. But here we are with three weeks left in the season and the Flyers trail the Rangers by one point and have two games in hand.

Sam Carchidi, the Flyers beat writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer, joined me to talk about how the Flyers have survived the gauntlet portion of their schedule, the similarities between Martin St. Louis and Claude Giroux’s seasons and how everyone is pulling for a Rangers-Flyers playoff series.
