Just like their fans can gloat about winning last year’s season series what did it really get them.

Very true that was all I wanted last year after I knew they weren’t making the playoffs.

Yes and somehow they are 30-15 this year. Imagine if he were a good manager.

Very true. I didn’t look at their schedule so that plays a lot into it.

Yes fortunately they actually won a few games when their offense didn’t show up.

Yes it’s a long season alot can happen but I am fairly confident they will at least make the playoffs.

Good sign now that Schmidt has gone through the lineup a 3rd time the past 2 games and done well.
I am most happy with the length.

I hope so also, would be nice to keep him away from free agency with Boras as his agent.

I could’ve bombarded the thread with posts about it kept it to only one. If the hockey section was more Rangers friendly I would post there.

Sometimes you can get cheap Topps Now cards off COMC when the usual crowd who buy a ton can't sell them on E-bay months later.
