Not ranked: New York Islanders – Let’s assume you have no dog in the Eastern wild-card fight. Your favorite team isn’t involved, so you’re just watching as a neutral party. If so, you should be rooting for the Blue Jackets, but those hopes have been fading badly since the break. That means you may have shifted your underdog energy towards the Canadiens. Or maybe you figure that Red Wings fans have suffered enough. You might be the sort of fan who wants the star-studded Rangers to find their way in, if only to keep their up-and-down drama going for a few extra weeks. You could even be holding out hope that Sidney Crosby and the Penguins can pull off a miracle.
