    Rangers cautiously optimistic meter 5/10. For those of us entering the workforce in 1994 we understand a Rangers Cup is right there with Halley’s Comet. 💫 Carolina is notorious for catching teams napping and scoring 2 goals half a minute apart. Rangers gotta look for that.

    @TalentedTrident 15 днів тому +64

    The Athletic model has Carolina at a 66% chance of winning, which is ridiculously underselling the Rangers. This is going to be a tight, close series in which I think the winner will end up raising the Cup. New York's top stars are good enough to win a series on their own, especially Shesterkin, while the Canes have been the best team in the league since the trade deadline. One key thing to note is that in 2022, Carolina had to use Raanta because Andersen was out, which obviously isn't the case this year, and that could be the difference. If it does end up going the distance, having Game 7 be at MSG will be a big advantage for the Rangers, which is why the Canes will be wanting to win this one in 6. Ultimately, I think they do, with Guentzel showing why the Canes went all in for him at the deadline.

    skill vs grit. am taking CAR to survive this steel cage match.
    i think CAR finally gets the goal support they've been missing over the past 5 years to bust loose this time around.

  • @winkletown8828
    @winkletown8828 14 днів тому +1

    Rangers have the goaltending advantage.
    Canes offensive firepower will definitely expose the rangers weaknesses.
    I believe the canes can win in 6. Their guys continue improving, the confidence level is at an all time high. They hit the ice knowing they're capable of not only outscoring but shutting down every team in the world. They were absolutely the best looking team in the east in round 1. I don't believe shesterkin can stop them night after night even as great as he is. Rangers just don't look stout enough defensively to handle the creativity and sniping abilities of Carolina consistently.
    If I'm wrong then so be it.

    This is going to be a very tight series. Teams are evenly matched up and down the lineup. Special teams are elite for both. Difference likely to come down to goaltending...slight edge Rangers. I will be at Game 1...LGR!

    I personally HATE both these teams. However, very simply, they are both the cream of the crop.
    Both arenas and fan bases are absolutely rabid and both teams are seasoned and tough as nails.
    Great time of year for the best game you can name!

    Carolina scored 3.8 per against the isles, not 2.8, but whatever. Season series is what it is. A more interesting breakdown would be season record against playoff teams, pp and pk against playoff teams, against teams over .500, top half of the league pp and pk. Out of the new year break Carolina dummied nyr 6-1 in NY with a lineup that included lemieux. Don’t like Carolina on long rest, but Rod had them ready for that Jan 2 matchup, and the Canes should have a nice little routine baked into the nyc travel. Can’t. Wait. 🏴‍☠️❗️
