There's a better "Dallas" facing them in the next round if they win this.I think it’s really same story next round for the Rangers. They really really had the edge and goal. The question really comes if they face Dallas in the final, I don’t think you’re gonna get these sort of goals with Oettinger, but I still really don’t see anyone left that can beat them.
I don't know dallas looks really good too. Hard to tell how these teams will match up or who will be hurt when they do.There's a better "Dallas" facing them in the next round if they win this.
If NYR moves on, I think even the spreadsheet guys would think it would be closer than the Bruins/Panthers matchupThat should be a great series.

I think the Panthers are superior to the Rangers, but I do believe the Rangers own the goaltending matchup in that one.Panthers are still a thing
Canes need more shots and tip attempts, thats how they beat him in game 4The canes can't score. They give up a shorty against the run of play and can't beat Igor. The chances they've had you would think at least one would go in.
Probably need to shoot it higher too. They keep going lowCanes need more shots and tip attempts, thats how they beat him in game 4
I think their goaltending is their weakest link. Canes have carried play for the majority of this series but can't get saves.The more you think about it….the Canes, despite their efforts at the TDL, are still a team that’s short on top-end talent/firepower….and at this stage/point in the postseason tournament it’s always going to hold them back against the leagues other elite contenders.
Look at this Rangers team….they’ve got the best forward, best defenseman, and best goaltender in this series zero debate about it. Their overall core of top tier forwards is slightly larger than that of the Canes as well. Beyond Panarin you’ve also got Zibanejad, Laf, Kreider, and Trocheck. Who on the Canes is on that same level? Aho, Guentzel, and then MAYBE Svech and/or Jarvis.
And there are multiple other contenders with cores that have even more firepower than the Rangers. And those contenders also have depth.
It’s looking like despite their elite depth and strong coaching/system/structure that they will ultimately be undone once again by their lack of star power.
seems like in this game at least, the only variable that matters is the goaltenders. Canes let in a shot that most goalies would stop, while Igor has stopped some odd man chances and what basically amounted to a penalty shot type chance.The more you think about it….the Canes, despite their efforts at the TDL, are still a team that’s short on top-end talent/firepower….and at this stage/point in the postseason tournament it’s always going to hold them back against the leagues other elite contenders.
