I want the Rangers. I’d love a chance to play spoiler and get revenge for 2012, 2013 and 2015

Man I reallllllly don’t want to play the canes. Partially bc they’re just clearly a better team and partially bc their fan base who’s been watching them for ten minutes somehow thinks they’re the big bro in this series.

I feel like we match up better against the Rangers, but would also hate losing to them more than the Canes.

Why does Philly show as 10% more likely to make the playoffs? We have the same number of points and have played two less games.

I think about every team we face is going to be tough to advance past R1, just given the start of our season. We’re on a major tear but against solid east teams it’s been tough.
That said, canes.

I love those spring playoff games in MSG.

The year we won the Cup nobody gave us a chance in any of the rounds. Columbus was seen as a terrible matchup because of their ridiculous team defense and goaltending. Penguins for obvious reasons. Tampa was favored by virtually every pundit. And Vegas obliterated the entire West. There are no easy matchups so fuck it. Bring on the Rangers.

Does that say tampa’s second most likely opponent is Tampa? Because Tampa would crush Tampa, no question.

I’m gonna say the Canes.
We’ve matched them well this year.
