well i was 9 the last time these 2 teams met in the playoffs, ready to make new enemies!

 

[1specter]

This series is gonna be a banger. I think Panthers might rout the Rangers though

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Panthers in 5 because their snarl/60 is #1 in the league.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Finally the Panthers face a legitimate contender. They are a highly over rated team and the Rangers are going to show that

Same could be said about Rangers facing Florida.

Carolina's great.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I think Dallas is the only team I can see taking out Florida this year. Florida is just too good. Otherwise I pick Florida to win the cup.

 

[Sticksandsun]

Carolina's great.

Bob is a lot better than Andersen. Florida's penalty kill has been a star. This is going the distance I think.

 

[Flan the incredible]

Well bring some NYC subway rats for youse guys to trow

You will hurt your back throwing those fat SOBs onto the ice.

Was their last meeting 97 when Tikkanen scored in OT and they continued playing forever til everyone saw it went in the net?

I guess you could be right, doesn't take much to beat the Leafs in 5

Carolina had the best penalty kill in the league. They have for years, actually.

 

[Siddi]

Trocheck going to run over another former team.

Easy Rangers in 5.

I'm older but appreciate the post

 

[BMOK33]

Rangers should win in 5 or 6 but I have a feeling for some reason that they won't

He might get tripped

Trouba and Bennett healing as they get ready to illegally hit all series:

Panthers win if in 5 or 6 if they stay out of the box.....key to beating the rangers as always is speed and playing 5 on 5.

Pretty much this. I'm surprised how many Panthers fans are giving up already. If they limit the penalties, the Panthers have a great chance to win this. They are always better than the Rangers 5 v 5. Shesty is a brick wall though. Gonna need the 2nd line to step up.

 

[Machinehead]

The Rangers are physical and very annoying. Washington couldn't control themselves. They kept giving us powerplays doing stupid shit.

Carolina did also the first two games. Then they stopped engaging in it and we had to win our last two games on nine full powerplays in four games.

Some of the hotheads on Florida could work to our advantage.

This guy's funny. I already like them better than Carolina.

 

[Givememoneyback]

Can we just give a good series Broons and Canes are this point? New series

Was weird seeing you cheer for us against Boston. This is the HV we all know and love.

The flying Trouba elbow will be looking for Barkov or any good player on the panthers.....watch out.

What panthers fans are giving up? Florida should win this in 6

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Rangers in six

The Panthers are the most playoff built roster in the sport, they're not going to get baited into that garbage tbh. I'd also be worried with how physical they are in front of Igor too. The Caps/Canes were baby soft in front of him, Florida will try to get in his head the most out of any team of this year's playoffs. I got Florida in 6 but the road map for NYR is like you said. I just don't see them getting baited like the Canes/Caps.

Panthers in 7, should be a good match up!
