Forsling is legit. Best defenseman? Lol. But he's good.

 

[CanePanther]

Both teams will be a bit rusty by Wednesday. I’m ready for game 1 already….

 

[Dread Clawz]

I am of the opinion that dallas is winning the cup this year. Everything else is just a formality this season

I still can't believe how many people are sleeping on Dallas.

 

[Chinaski89]

Post the bet slip or you're full of shit. FLA in 5 is currently +500, easiest money you could ever make. Nothing to lose for you right!

Not a gambler. Just know that the Canes were the better team in more periods than the Rangers, but shitty goaltending did them in. Panthers in 5.

And the easiest money I ever made was getting into Bitcoin in 2012! Thanks, man.

Panarin had 8 pts in 6 games against Carolina...

The guy specifically said one goal a night against Bobrovsky and he had I believe 2 against the worst goaltender in the playoffs besides Skinner.

 

[pb1300]

are you saying Gustav Forsling is the GOAt for defenseman? LOL. you guys got him off the waiver wire...

Tello us you don’t know shit about the Panthers, without…

Clown comments already is this thread.

 

[MMANumminen]

Amazing to see the amount of NYR homers here. Rangers have no chance. Absolutely nothing

 

[Levitate]

Despite all the posturing like ya'll influencers who need stupid as shit video titles to get clicks, this is two good teams and I would not be surprised to see this go either way.

Of course I want to see the Rangers pull it out. They might need more from their bottom six though, and if not, their top six to crush it

you're damn right I don't know shit about the Panthers. because I'm a NYR fan and we're about to cook your ass.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

for a franchise that's never won shit, ya'all love to act cocky like you're the Blackhawks LOL

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

are you saying Gustav Forsling is the GOAt for defenseman? LOL. you guys got him off the waiver wire...

Genuinely, you very very clearly haven’t watched the guy play more than the handful of games we play the Rangers.

He’s evolved into a stud.

Not everyone’s success will be determined by their draft position…

I think it will be a great series.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

curious as to why Panthers fans feel they have some kind of powerhouse but the entire franchise has never won shit.

 

[Laus723]

Ask Timo Meier what happens when you have your head down against the Rangers in the playoffs

I mean, both teams have long lists of found outs.

curious as to why Panthers fans feel they have some kind of powerhouse but the entire franchise has never won shit.

This a joke? Rags won how many times in how many years? We had a shit owner, you guys overspent until there was a cap. Congrats though?

 

[Cats2TheCup]

Uh..Legitimate Rangers fans aren't pumping our own tires. To be fair they won the president's trophy and won their first 7 playoff games. They made relatively easy work of a Carolina team that was considered to be a cup favorite. Had they not taken their foot off the gas being up 3-0 that series would have been over in 5. Your fans are the ones that think you're winning both games at MSG and "Panthers in 5."

Whatever hype they've generated is legit. They've done this with Adam Fox playing obviously injured and a shell of his former self.

That being said, the Panthers were always the team I wanted to face the least. Them and the Rangers are very obviously the 2 best teams in the East regardless of who made it to the ECF; I think they're both better than anything still standing in the West

Interesting how Canes became “Cup favorites” within months of being swept by The Panthers.

The Panthers are really good and I think they should be favorites in the Series. But the point is right that the Canes were the cup favorite in Vegas. My order of the teams left is:
Dallas
Florida
NYR
Oilers/Canucks

 

[Ratsreign]

Idk know about powerhouse claims. But how exactly does either team’s history make any difference in this series?

Well, that’s cuz FL, at best, was going to be scraping to even make it in to playoffs.

 

[VainGretzky]

Rangers got this

 

[FoxyClean]

Panthers have better top end talent and Rangers have nobody like Barkov. Special teams will be a factor but Florida's bottom 6 depth highly outmatches the Rangers and that will win them the series.

Rangers haven't even been tested these playoffs. This is going to be a real wake up call for them.

Rangers have an elite top 6 and the Panthers have nobody like Panarin. Florida may have the advantage with their bottom 6 but Shesterkin has outplayed Bobrovsky and the Rangers’ special teams will smother Florida and ultimately help win NYR the series.

The Rangers beat the 2nd best team in the East while Florida has only played two mediocre teams. This’ll be a huge wake up call for them.

am i doing it right?

So does that mean since the Islanders won more your franchise is inferior?


NO ONE SAY NOTHING TO ANYONE UNLESS YOU WON!

Attention Leafs fans, go on and blow some smoke baby. Your franchise has won!

 

[pb1300]

And what have the Rangers done in the last 30 years? You guys are thumping your chest like you’ve done anything, especially with the financial and market advantage the Rangers had in that time.

 

[Levitate]

"within months" is doing some work when it was a calendar year and a whole NHL season away

That said, it ain't us that was pumping Carolina's tires as a cup contender/favorite

TO be honest I don't really see how there's any strong argument any which way for any team that's left other than Edmonton because of their lol goalie situation and maybe Vancouver for the same.

Dallas, Florida, and the Rangers are all great teams who proved it in the regular season and playoffs. Rangers weren't Presidents trophy winners by accident and Carolina is a tough as f*** team to beat no matter what. Beyond that, matchups, luck, and health determine the cup winner.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Guys no trash talking before the series it seems hfb posters simply cannot handle it.

 

[T REX]

Wow...3 more days of this LOL

Not saying you’re wrong, and some of my fellow NYR fans can be a bit over the edge (as all fan bases do)….but just to let you know, the isles and Rangers have the same number of cups….therefore we are both inferior.

 

[Levitate]

Guys no trash talking before the series it seems hfb posters simply cannot handle it.

depends on how good you are at it

 

[Whoot Whoot]

No Knicks so the ice won't be extra bad, just normal bad at MSG
