Marchand WestKane got hit into the bench.
They have good players but their best players might not be good enough for the cup. They always have hard time scoring in playoff games.Canes are weird man. They should be cooking way better than they are. Shoot they were close to losing a couple more games to the Islanders.
McDavid getting abused. Yikes
Do we want a Canes win today or rest vs rust factor?
Yeah the New York matchup is interesting. I feel like both teams are a nightmare matchup for each other.
Everyone knew but they got hyped once again. Same Story every year. They get the Kings who will get destroyed on their PKThe Oilers have only scored two goals this postseason that haven't involved McDavid or Drai. Talk about lack of depth.
I think we can beat either of them, but some time off even a couple extra days would be great after a physical series.Easier than the Canes matchup imo.
Actually, both Canes and Rangers are harder matchups than Bruins and Tampa this year.
Rangers aren't that dangerous 5x5. It's the powerplay that is lethal. Haven't checked the stats lately but I belive the Canes are outscoring them 5x5.Rangers are a better team than the Canes. I don't buy into match-ups so much as general talent level. Rangers are much more dangerous.

I am more concerned about the length of the Canes lineup than the top end skills of the Rangers top 6, that's just me.Rangers are a better team than the Canes. I don't buy into match-ups so much as general talent level. Rangers are much more dangerous.

Shesty is a wildcard, but no goalie will be that much better than who we have already faced.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think we would do quite well with our forecheck against the Rangers, they don't have a lot of jam up front, and I think we could have an advantage in a series for that reason.Isn't just you.

I think we matchup ok with the Canes too, but the difference is better goal scorers, but I expect we would handle the Rangers at 5v5 just like they are, just we are a bit more north south than the Canes, we would be crashing nets, more screens etc.I think we match up better against the Rangers than the Canes. Although both tough teams and we shouldn't underestimate them if we get past Boston. Which I'm pretty sure we will.
