The Rangers have three defenseman better than anyone on Edmonton. Shesterkin lives on another planet than Smith.

McDavid is obviously a tier above all of our forwards, but with Draisaitl injured, do our guys slot in like 2-7 if we were building a combined team?

Colorado is a very scary matchup but we can’t let this series be a barometer for how the Rangers might perform if they make it past Tampa.

So it's looking like the Avs are going to sweep again.

So we're better off playing a Game 7 with the Bolts, that way the Avs too can have "rust."
The Avs got a week off last season after sweeping St. Louis and played against Vegas who battled Minnesota to game 7. Colorado stomped them 7-1 in G1. Just because Tampa was rusty, doesn't mean Colorado would be. If anything, rest would be good because from what I gathered Kadri could maybe return to finals even if he's out for this round.

has literally anyone besides McDavid, Draisaitle or Kane done anything worthwhile?

I like McLeod, I'll give him his due. Besides that, EDM has absolutely nothing. Their Defense is atrocious

I can only remember Hyman besides those three.

I finally saw the hit. It was a bad cross check but it didn’t look that bad

Unless he broke his hand or something

Kane's hit was definitely illegal, but with the way some people talk about they act as if he beheaded Kadri on the ice or something. It's a high speed game and shit happens, but because its Evander Kane people are calling for a goddamn lynching.

I get that Evander is a douche and all, but the hate directed towards him is especially vitriolic. Especially compared to other known douchebags like Patrick Kane. Same goes for Kadri, who might be a bit reckless, but you don't see someone like Tom Wilson getting death threats...

I truly wonder what the reason for that could possibly be? /s

Nurse is terrible, Barrie cannot defend, Keith is ancient… yeah it’s bad . Their forwards are all grinders besides McDrai too . What a crappy team.
Bouchard is good at offense but he is literally one of the worst defenders I have ever seen.

The cross check was bad but I'm talking about how Kadri went into the boards.... that didn't look too bad. Unless there's an angle I've yet to see.

I'd say the rangers have 4 dmen better than the oilers... I'd take all of our top 4 over nurse or Barrie.

If you go by lines their first line is miles ahead of ours.. but our 2nd and 3rd are both significantly better than. Their 2nd, and our 4th is probably more effective at hockey than their 3rd.

Igor is the best goalie in the world.

If we both made it, I don't think it's as cut and dry as some ppl are making it out to be.

Colorado is amazing.

But we've got answers to a lot of what they bring to the table.

And Kakko trained and hung out with Rantanen. The student will become the teacher.
