I have seen the Panthers as the team to beat in the East since the middle of the season. They have scared me the most. Carolina looked manageable and beatable and the Rangers proved that. Now we will see if they can handle what I consider to be a tougher team.

Rangers match up better with florida. Its not about “who’s better”

Something I don't think Rempe gets credit for is drawing a lot of eyes and taking pressure off our top guys. A lot of the focus from opposing teams, coaches, the refs, and the fans goes to Rempe. It's one of the factors that make having him in the line up a bonus and it goes unnoticed. He's not just size and a guy who fights. He also makes his teammates play bigger and play in his shadow. It's another element to consider.

Agreed, the problem is its the playoffs, he's still a rookie, but most importantly and I do believe this is the real reason he's out for game 1 is that, the refs nickel and dime every hit he makes and are quick to call him on something, and at this stage of the playoffs with Carolina and now Florida, Lavi doesn't want to risk giving up too many additional PP's to these caliber teams. However, if Wennberg does provide anything soon offensively, maybe if Chytil shows Tonight that he is good to go...maybe scratch Wennberg, shift Chytil back to the C, bring Cuylle back to the 3rd, and put Rempke back in on the 4th. It adds more firepower and toughness to the 3rd line, and it allows the best of Rempke, as you stated, bringing all that to the team, with the added bonus of doing it all at MSG where the fan base will feed off of it, thus having the team feed off of it too.

But I really loved the Vesey, Goodrow, Rempe line. And even Rempe being short benched, and Vesey and Goodrow being everyman players that can move up, or you can double shift guys with them. I really liked it. It gave our guys more options to get ice.

Rangers in 6

Let's go rangers baby

Series comes down to Chytil and Igor. If Igor is better than Bob and Chytil is back the Rangers speed and goaltending should be too much. If not, they get bullied in 6. I lean towards Rangers but it’s a coin flip.

Usually the first game is a little looser in a series with the two teams figuring each other out. I expect a 5-4 or 4-3 type of game tonight where the rest of the series will be lower scoring. If we score for we have a 99% chance to win with Igor.

Lets Go Rangers

Special teams, goaltending and DEPTH get it done in the playoffs. The Panthers learned that the hard way in the Finals last year. Vegas had three lines score against them in one game; then in the next game, all four lines scored. Depth is hard to counter when a team has only one or two lines rolling.

@@automatoncollectives7237 they absolutely have the better depth. You’d know that if you had a clue about them, which you don’t by that “hardly improved” comment. They are deeper up front, and much better on the blueline. Don’t comment if you don’t have a clue about what you’re talking about.

Two things get lost in Bobs Save % this postseason. As the game gets later, he gets better. Hes not allowing many goals in the 3rd. Floridas defense has done a great job of blocking and limiting shots.

The overlooked aspect of Rempe refs call more penalties, both sides, when he is on the ice. Good for Rangers PP.

Big risk putting Chytl out there almost shows desperation. Rangers easy goal tending wins. Lets see how they fare against Bob. He drops his stick sometimes to make saves. Panthers know what it takes. Can the Rangers match it? I notice in games, this year third period pushes. Almost cost Oilers. Depending who is up or trailing. Can you withstand it? How healthy is Fox? You he has a target on his back. Panthers D really solid. Rangers healthy. Bruins were a little banged up. Rooting for Panthers as they never won and the rats on the ice means they played in a dump and now they are close again to their first. Also Paul Maurice deserves his first. Been a long time since a coach got two championships with different teams unless it’s Scotty Bowman. Not sure why? It’s not 1994. Knicks already out of it as is Vancouver.

the Rangers are the least likely of the last 4 teams to win the Cup, according to Vegas.

I think Rempe being a liability in the 3rd periods are manufactured. It's not like it's his play, it's the refs image of him and our perception of that. What I mean is, he gets called for things that aren't penalties, and in normal situations that's a bad thing, I agree; however, our PK is + for the entire playoffs right? Haven't we only let in 3 PP goals all post season, 2 to Washington and 1 to the Canes? So it's not like even being in those situations is actually detrimental to our club. And those situations are created because he actually committed an infraction. So when you look at it with autistic clarity, you might as well just let the guy play.

Cats in 6

Rangers were able to beat caps and canes because of goletanding. Panthers have a lot better goalie so I don't think it's going to be easy. Canes could not get it in and they knew their downfall is the goalie so they could not push offense as much as they wanted to.

NY Fans are quiet? Quiet confidence? WTF is this guy talking about? I have never met a quiet NY fan in my life.

Florida plays with an edge is being very nice they're a dirty Carolina hurricanes team. If we don't come out play a full 60 minutes and try to match their intensity I'm concerned I don't want the Rangers to fall into the trap of playing Florida's game we're not a dirty team we have moments but we're not a dirty team. Florida's just a dirty team and they know how to conceal it well. Let's go Rangers

I was more concerned with Canes being dirty. They are sneaky and clutch, grab, etc. when refs are not looking. Two of our major injuries this year came against them and that is no coincidence.

The Panthers or Rangers are in for a rude awakening in the Finals. Panthers looked average, at best, in the Finals last year, are that history will repeat itself.

Talking playoff statistics is irrelevant. The Caps were the biggest playoff embarrassment, and way too many of Carolinas shots were from far outside, easy saves. NYR haven't faced anything like a Cats team that took down TB & BB to get to this. If Krider hadn't scored that hat trick....well, you know.

Boomer just exclaimed why the NYR will be destroyed

Boomer, just say, I'm going to watch the game at home and be more comfortable. No need to go into a long explanation about how difficult your life, work is and how people often don't understand your situation. It's not about you, Boomer.

Chytil in tonight? Great. Then he’ll miss the next 4. He’s brittle.

It will come down to special teams and goaltending. Rangers have an edge in those areas. Panthers are undisciplined and take more penalties than any other team.
