If this is the way then a lot of teams need to learn that. Panthers, Avs, Pens and some others.

We most likely had the best third string goalie in the NHL at least so there’s that. This guy in net for the Canes is garbage.

The Rangers learned it after Wilson almost murdered Panarin last postseason

This goalie for the Canes is trash. If Andersen was close like some have said he should had been the backup in case this happened. Or get that Zamboni driver from Toronto, he’d be better than this dumpster fire.

If the Pens or Canes had their #1 healthy the Rags had no chance. Going to be interesting next series and by interesting I mean they are getting swept.

John Cooper is the most successful coach in the East the past decade. Would think he has a plan to negate the Trouba effect. I wouldn’t want Pat Maroon be given the green light to equalize the Trouba effect. Personally I would put a target slightly below Adam Fox’s sternum. See who replaces him as the power play quarterback and number one defenseman.

A bit of defense - not thug hits, would be appreciated. Curious to see the ratings.
With all the offense your goalies can be average, until the finals.

Tampa has some rust to shake off.

Tampa looks tired and slower than the Rangers. They’ve played a ton of playoff hockey. It definitely catches up eventually.

Rangers look impressive. Young, fast and a great goalie.

With respect to Tampa, you are usually right. But with a bubble Cup and a shortened schedule Cup, this would have been a year where a three-peat would be manageable. Just can’t wrap my head around the Pens having multiple chances to take out the Rangers and now they get hot.

Looks like Tampa need to start hitting players with high elbows.

I don't really care who wins this Rags Bolts game but I wouldn't mind the Bolts winning to try and make this a competitive series worth watching. Probably end up being two sweeps to get to the finals.

Maybe, Rangers are making Tampa look ordinary and downright aweful at times too. No reason they can’t do that against Colorado if they face them.

Oilers look a lot like us. Can't hold a 2 goal lead in an elimination game.

And as I type they at least tie it up.

And then quickly finish the sweep. :face:

Yeah...I thought the Oilers would win it but then BAM !! Didn't happen. McDavid will have to wait another year for another shot at it now. Looks like I'm an Avs fan for the SCF.

Avs haven’t even been tested yet these playoffs. I have not been impressed with the Western conference. Abs are by far and away the best team in the west.

Hoping Tampa can make it to the finals. I’m done with the Rangers little run.

Rangers won two series by intentionally injuring players on the the other team with zero consequences. Game 5 is going to have a really bad hit probably again by Trouba and it could turn the series.

He just missed with a flying elbow directed at Paul's head at the blueline.
