Below are all the comments for each series.
Carolina-New York Rangers
Ryan – The Rangers certainly left something to be desired against Pittsburgh, but I think they also deserve credit for fighting even when they fell behind in the series 3-1 and eventually pulling through. The big X-Factor here is Igor Shesterkin. The Rangers need him to be better against Carolina than he was against Pittsburgh, but he’s certainly capable of that. Now that he has some NHL playoff experience, it wouldn’t be surprising if he ends up playing like the Vezina/Hart contender we know he is.
Mark – My Stanley Cup pick, the Rangers, barely escaped the first round, but I was impressed by their ability to make in-game adjustments even when facing several deficits against the Penguins. Igor Shesterkin faced all kinds of offensive pressure in Round 1 and my real worry for the Rangers is that they come out flat on tired legs versus Carolina. If they can get past the pure exhaustion of that series against Pittsburgh, I think they take this…
