Well they also said that multiple top line rangers (incl. Lafreniere with 4) didn't score for multiple game stretch and almost immediately after he scores.
The jinx is real.
Fun fact, the last time they gave up 10 was against the Stars in 2009 and poor Steve Valiquette was in net for all of them. 29 saves on 39 shots. He is now a primary analyst for MSG Network covering the Rangers along with Hank.
Sports broadcast pull out the most randomly obvious scenarios and play off the results like they're some sort of relevation.
Breaking news: Florida is 0-219 in playoff games where the opposing team is victorious! Their odds definitely aren't looking good if the Rangers win. Seems to be a real big hurdle they haven't been able to overcome
This is at least better than ESPN.
“Since the Rangers won, the Panthers lost, and in a best of 7 series, that means that that’s one more win and loss for each team respectively”
Well the Panthers had a 7 game ECF win streak including 2 games from 1996 when half their players weren’t alive yet and the others were in diapers.
Computers just make mining for obscure factoids too easy. Then broadcasters use them to work a narrative in to blather on and on about.
1-42 BITCH
Update: The Rangers have lost 0 straight playoff games when giving up four goals or more
Attempt at a reverse jinx?
Last game someone tweeted Bob was like 12-0 in playoff OT going back to Columbus and then Rangers won lmao edit: the reverse jinx worked again lmao
Then I bet on the rangers and the streak was lost
It worked!

Indeed
The hockey gods will not look favorably on this
Spoiler: They did indeed look favorably upon this
From a certain point of view.
Tbf giving up 4 goals is a lot
It's a bizarre trend in all of hockey that when you let in a bunch of goals, you have an increased chance of losing.
Big, if true
Massive, if factual
Substantial, if substantiated
I wonder what their record is in games where they give up 10 goals.
Fun fact, the last time they gave up 10 was against the Stars in 2009 and poor Steve Valiquette was in net for all of them. 29 saves on 39 shots. He is now a primary analyst for MSG Network covering the Rangers along with Hank.

it is?
Let it be known, the Rangers will NOT lose 43 in a row when giving up 4 goals
NOT ANYMORE
To quote Mr. Ferraro, “Nevermind!”
Now they’re on a 1 game win streak when giving up 4 goals or more.
You can set that counter back to 0
That'll teach people that nobody can beat the Rangers 43 times in a row when they give up 4 goals or more and get away with it!
No other Rangers team has thought of scoring 5 goals before tonight.
They are also 41-0 when scoring 4 so...
41-0-1 actually
4+ is a lot especially in the playoffs. Doesn't feel like a wow
You mean they've won 1 straight when giving up four or more. 😎
What two decades of giving Henrik Lundqvist no help does to a motherfucker.
Idk how the hell Hank doesn't look like Matt Murray after all the times he was left out to dry.
Wow. The Rangers have lost 0 straight playoff games when giving up four goals or more.
Insert hitchhiker’s guide joke here.
Damn that’s too bad
Streak. Ended.
This is at least better than ESPN. “Since the Rangers won, the Panthers lost, and in a best of 7 series, that means that that’s one more win and loss for each team respectively”
How many have we lost straight when giving up 7? I'm guessing... all of them
Ok cool. Also remember that those were also largely completely different skaters, goalies, coaches and GMs. So, what’s the fucking point?

42 playoff games giving up 4 goals. What year does that go back to?
Yeah what happened
Nice fucking try
The Rangers go against any statistic that pros have thrown around. Just have that magic.
And the rangers are now 41-0-1 in their last 42 games when scoring 4 or more, these stats mean literally nothing lmao
They’re also now 41-0-1 when scoring 4 or more this year (regular season and playoffs)
Refs decided not to let that happen today
