Rangers are a well rounded team, will be hard to topple but not impossible, Igor has some weaknesses. Caps useless in extending the series as per usual

In recent history, sweeping is never good for the sweeper
I have a feeling that series won’t do much for the Rags in terms of prep…they were never seriously challenged in any of the 4 games, played against a sputtering offense, mediocre goaltending, and middling special teams. The Rags had a much tougher time against the Isles to close out the season—this series was effectively cruise control for them. They’d like to think they’ll respond well to getting knocked down in a game, but they don’t yet have any taste of that given how this series went. I wouldn’t want that experience to start in the 2nd round against a presumably tougher opponent.
Call me crazy, but I’d rather have a tough, but successful series where we can recognize a few things that aren’t working, take a couple punches to the gut, then make tweaks and move on.
