They never felt out of place in this series, unlike Pittsburgh where it felt like they couldn’t hang in some games. It seems like they’re building with each series and that makes them a true threat in these playoffs
Lmao I love how people seem to care less about this series vs the Penguins The Rangers completely dismantled the Canes at MSG and at their home floor, to the point where I think this series is one of the lesser memorable ones even though it was a truly challenging battle (up until Game 6)
If you told me at the beginning of the year that the Rangers were going to go against the Lighting in the Eastern Conference Final, I would call you crazy
Cool, but now they get a whole different caliber of team to deal with, they'll be lucky to see a game 5. There's no backup goalies, there's no team at the end of it's open window, just a group of stone cold killers vs a group with 9 out of 20 dressing every night that're gonna be in their first Conference Finals
I’ve said it a million times: The Playoffs are not normal hockey. The Rangers almost swept the reg season with the pens, and look at the trouble they gave them in round one. The Hurricanes had our number all season, and look at how tight that series was. TBL vs. NYR is gonna be a barn burner of a series. Sit back and watch the fireworks, and at the end of the day, remember that these are mostly kids, and while their success is commendable, it is enough for now regardless of the outcome. Nobody thought we’d be sitting here today how we are, yet here we are. Faith and patience brother✌🏻
