Series Talk: ECF: New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers *Game 1 Wednesday 5/22 @ 8pm ET*

[Kords]

This is gonna be a nasty series. Whoever comes out of it is gonna be banged up, hope the same happens out west.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Call me Scar cause Imma kill you in front of Simba.

1-800-ASPCA on line 1

 

[Megustaelhockey]

We hopefully started watching video on this team a while ago...

 

[DumpnChase12]

There are ALOT of Ranger fans down here in South Florida. Gonna feel like home ice every game lol. Going to be a tough series though, they better wake the F up

it's going to be 40/60 every game. Huge boost for the players.

 

[Mione134]

Shoot high. Thats his weakness.

I never thought I'd be on your bandwagon, but I hate that f***ing team so bad. Hit them HARD. Give them hell. You guys play a hard game. You're gonna give them fits.

 

[will1066]

Ekblad is their Trouba. Need to get one of the two top lines out there when he and Forsling are on. Mikkola plays with Montour, and we are familiar with Mikkola. OEL plays with Kulikov. Not very intimidating on paper. It's their forward group that worries.

 

[Filip Chytil]

The Cats must be tamed

 

[duhmetreE]

They’re going to be coin flip games imo

Can end in 5 or a butt puckering 7

 

[aufheben]

I keep forgetting we have home ice against literally everyone.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m curious to see what the after effects will be of that shot Barkov took on the hand. He obviously came back but could be an issue

 

[LionsHeart]

This is gonna be a challenge for sure, but Florida isn’t unbeatable. The boys are gonna have to raise their game though.

 

[Sayba]

Hopefully the MSG crew can now finally STFU with the dumb Sam Reinhart bit or better yet don’t let him score.

 

[will1066]

Bob and Bread are good friends

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Rangers in Six.

 

[NYROrtsFan]

Gonna go 6 or 7 for sure I think.

I'd have Rempe going. This team is extremely physical and we have to match some of it. Let their guys worry about Rempe. The media will build him up plenty and hopefully get them focusing on something else other than scoring.

Overall we t be to do well with heavier teams. It's really speed we struggle with most so that makes me hopeful

 

[McRanger92]

Bring it on Panthers. Were better than them and have home ice. Bread vs. Bob will decide the series. If Fox can get healthy that would be ideal. I think the rangers are poised and tough enough to deal with the any shenanigans but I bet it gets nasty in the first 4 games. Rangers in 7, as always.

This is gonna be a challenge for sure, but Florida isn’t unbeatable. The boys are gonna have to raise their game though.

Lots of mileage. Friedman said on 32 thoughts today they are trying to manage Bobs workload. Barkov left late tonight after a blocked shot. He’ll play but the wear and tear could build up. It was their undoing in the finals last year.

If Chytil isn’t in I have to think Rempe will play at least at home. Gonna need him to hammer the Florida D as possible.

 

[Tob]

We're up against it for sure, a true championship caliber team in Florida. We'd be lucky to steal a game from these guys. It'll be good for Cuylle and Rempe and Schneider to get some more experience even if we're swept in the end. A good learning opportunity.

 

[AirGut]

This will not be a easy series

I wouldn't have it any other way, mid May, Rangers Hockey, it's beautiful

That's the spirit. Rangers in 7.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

The Rangers are half way through the Stanley Cup playoffs after playing 82 games. Everyone is banged up at this point.

Meanwhile we’ve theoretically got fresh legs. Fewest games played and a couple black aces who would be playing under normal circumstances.
