I dont think this series bodes well for either team honestly. The isles are good and always play the rangers tough. On the other hand the rangers have a lot of experience in the playoffs and know how to play a specific style that ensures success. Not only that we all know capuano would be out coached so badly it would hurt. Vigneaus team just went to the stanley cup and a lot of it has to do with the guy being an exceptional coach. So isles fans relax.

I think they fear physical shutdown teams like the Kings and Bruins more than a speedy Isles team. The Isles have question marks on defense and goaltending still that are waiting to be exploited. The 3 teams the Rangers beat last season were pretty similar to the Isles in playing style.

The Isles do not really have question marks on defense, and have two more than ready prospects to step in. In fact against the Rangers, I would like Reinhart in there, he seemed to take Nash off his game a bit the 1st time around
