I was at the Buffalo Sabres home opener this year against the Rangers. The Rangers put on a complete defensive clinic and I could immediately tell that they were Stanley Cup contenders this year. Even with insane goaltending, adding incredible team defense showed that the Rangers were a fundamentally different team this year. While all my fellow Sabres fans were flipping out at our team I could see what was really unfolding. Rangers vs Avalanche would be a very interesting SCF, or dare I say Canucks vs Rangers rematch lol.

[@criddlexd]

I also knew they were gonna cook after that game

[@pingamalinga]

There are so many parallels with this team and the 94 team that they may as well climb Mount Vancouver once again. Though I could go without the 7 game ECF.

Conn Smythe Trophy has been won by 19 centres, 17 goalies, 12 defencemen and 10 wingers since it's been awarded in 1965.

[@jaysonj9327]

They have an elite goalie, an elite D-1 leading a six-deep group of D-men, an all time HOF level head coach, elite special teams and a balanced set of forwards who score timely goals, forecheck, back check, fight for loose pucks, win defensive zone draws and make life miserable for the opposition. This is the dictionary definition of a legit Cup contender. Oh, by the way, in case you haven't heard, they're 7-0 in these playoffs.

[@bobdole6889]

That lighting not doing his beak any favors

[@jasonthieme8926]

I can appreciate biz. He loves to stir the pot especially with ranger fans and he does a pretty good job of it but he gives credit where his credit is due just like he is right now. LGR

[@clydefrog203]

Hes gonna jinx us

[@godssss42]

I don’t want the Rangers to get credit from biz and other pundits, I don’t want individual awards for Rangers players, I don’t want haters to pipe down or reverse course…just want to win

[@MrHyde11976]

To hell with this squid we dont want want any tread from this fool

[@jasonthieme8926]

@@clydefrog203 biz and pk can't mess with this group

[@bryanr8897]

Scoring short-handed comes from having skill guys on the kill. Most teams use their lower skill harder working guys on the kill and saving the energy of the skill guys for situations that exploit their abilities. But when you're deep like the Rangers, you can afford to put some skill on the kill.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

The Biz living in the dark after his precious Leafs got spanked.. 😂

[@richardbauman4731]

The Rangers power play reminds me of watching The Harlem Globetrotters play back in the 70's .

[@JT-gi8rx]

Yeah, their passing is incredible, best in the league.

[@moflomoney]

That 3 on 0 shorty that K’Andre Miller got against the caps was very Globetrotters indeed lol.

[@RemmyRiffs]

LGR! Soooo many similarities between this run and the 94' Cup run. It is no longer coincidence. It's destiny. Last time the Rangers won the Cup in 94' OJ was on the news... he made the news again this year. We won the Presidents trophy... we did this year. We started out 6-0 in the postseason... we are now 7-0. None of our players were up for any awards... none are up this year. The Knicks were also great and made the Finals... Knicks are great again this year and at least on track to make the ECF. This is 100% a team of destiny and firing on all cylinders. I have NEVER been more confident in the Rangers. 🗽

[@robwest2813]

It is about time the Rangers started to get some love! Only took winning 7 playoff games in a row!?

[@victorfranco4701]

How about Laffy he’s buzzing

[@AJMangino]

Laf turned into a franchise player halfway through the season, barely gets mentioned. That is how good Rangers are.

[@pingamalinga]

No joke. Full on blossom. Wasnt that long ago he was in the bust conversation.

[@robwest2813]

Canes were the number 1 power play this season and they are being handled. Rangers are a problem!

[@BKDBut]

Oh no! What's wrong with the world?!?!?!?! THE RANGERS ARE FINALLY GETTING RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Canes are STILL favored to win tomorrow! Lol. Every game they're favored! And every game they lose!

[@QuinnCloudz]

Biz did a good job of explaining that last part, imo

[@thomaspirozzi6797]

Biz isn’t shit talking the rangers. What is going on?

[@elliottmarko2531]

I know I came here anticipating it and was pleasantly surprised. Still a huge tool though

[@Pete_1979.]

Good to see Biz acknowledging the Rangers as being legit. And btw Biz- not all of us in the NYR fan base are chart boy cry baby cvnts. Most of us in the silent majority are blue collared fans who understand & respect the game

[@nathanbreakfast7424]

Nothing like proving you're not a cry baby by commenting to a guy who will never read your post that you actually arent a cry baby and are part of a stoic silent majority LOL. Gayest comment of all time. LGR.

[@josephgabello3214]

Nothing like hearing about the power play from someone with 22 points in 200 plus games.

[@puckhead777]

Jealous?

[@KaptainZack]

It’s wild to hear Biz actually give the Rangers their due

[@nyujay2010]

LGR!!!!

[@ratedRblazin420]

Weird seeing Biz not crying about officiating during Leafs elimination games. I almost didn't recognize him without tears in his eyes

[@clydefrog203]

Dont mush us Biz!

[@HarrisonHollers]

The Canes only hit singles. The Rangers are hitting extra base hits.

[@10bunks12]

Bruins fan. NYR is going all the way. The cup is theirs.

[@cmgpower977]

That’s right, the two of you New York haters have to talk about the Rangers now 😂😂😂😂😂

[@joshbarbone189]

Every other time is having trouble overall, but the Rangers have had several lazy goals, which shows that they have more than enough to get their cup. All of the canes goals were hard work goals, but they were given.

[@dylanhealy8126]

Lindgren definitely gave up some very easy goals, but Igor let in 1-2 very easily saved goals from the Caps. It happens, but Idt even Igor would’ve been able to save that with all the confusion and what not, especially with Panarin pulling a textbook Kreider move lol.

[@skill14]

Didn’t this ANALyst say the Rangers wouldn’t even make the playoffs in the preseason

[@letsgomets07]

Igorrrrrr

[@cooliotopnotch6287]

It really is embarrassing, but not surprising, that the odds makers got it so wrong. Again, I didn't say hockey fans, since it seemed like Rangers and non-Rangers fans alike kept saying "don't sleep on them - they are a favorite".

[@chickenfkeryay]

Odds are for gambling who cares about odds

[@TarHeeler42-nf2nd]

Biz is a talking nose. Not a talking head.

[@recoveryfishing364]

Out special teamsing? Biz you are special. Not special but special special. All the shit you were talking dont jump on now.

[@moflomoney]

Biz got me fired up! LGR 🔥

[@zigga967]

has been making his rounds today praising the Rangers. hell has frozen over!

[@edwardjohn1116]

Let's keep it going Rangers 💯🛐💚🔯💛☪️❤️🕉️💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stephendeboer1999]

Patrick Roy the only man with 3 Conn Smythe trophy wins 😏 go Avs! 🤠😝

[@brianwynne2352]

This guy is such a joke. Shitting on the rangers for years and only now that the rangers are up 3-0 in the series he’s finally giving them credit

[@ArcanumAscent]

Biz is a Ranger hater and real sore about it

[@TheBlackHeartedCrow]

stick to talking football LGR!!!! 🔵⚪️🔴🔵⚪️🔴🔵⚪️🔴

[@SCUMCHRIST888]

Im a Rangers fan and i was going to put $20 on them winning the cup before the season started and i didn't. Starting to look like i zigged when i should have zagged
