Believe in coincidences?
This is the first time post-lockout the Rangers have led the Eastern Conference in points.
Over 10 years before the lockout was the last time they did so.
The Rangers were the #1 seed in the playoffs that time.
They also beat the 7th seeded Capitals in the second round.
They then moved on the play the New Jersey Devils in the conference finals.
The Rangers had home ice advantage in that series.
The year this all happened?
1994.
I’m just saying.
