The Rangers have Panarin and Zibanejad, but that's about all that makes them dangerous. (Though, that may be enough). I'm going to lean Hurricanes though.

Rangers also have a great Goalie core, it'll be a close one I think

I've been following the saga, looks like Igor Shesterkin may get the start but if he falters Lundqvist will have to come up big.

Rangers are more than a 2 man show.  Kreider, Buch, Fox, D'Angelo all can bring offense.  They say Kakko looks rejuvenated.  They were one of the best teams in the league from January to the shut down.  It might be hard for a young team like them to get that mojo back quickly but if they do they are dangerous.

It's kind of hard to judge without seeing them on the ice in game play. I am expecting a couple upsets in the play-offs. 

I picked Rangers in 5 though based on their roster.

I really think Kakko is going to be a tour de force once he develops, it's going to be neat watching this kid mature.

I hope so.  He wasn't very good this season to date.  Needs to improve his skating.

Oh man, that Aho goal was unreal.

Man, that’s brutal for the Rangers. Waiting for months just to get punted in a couple days. 

Goal of the playoffs so far. That kid is turning into a real superstar.

On one hand, I don't want them to get Lafreniere. On the other hand, it's always fun to see the Rangers get swept. Carolina's a good team.

Looking at the poll, no one expected this. 

 

Plus side, the equipment manager and crew don't have to move all their gear between the practice rink and the game rink anymore.
