The good news is that 89% of the fanbase voted Anti-Rangers over Anti-Hurricanes or equal hate (root AGAINST series winner) after worry from some posts and playoff history that there would be a split in the fanbase. The bad news is well we already know what that is.
Although we all rooted for the Capitals in round 1 it wasn’t a surprise what happened but we all expected a good chance that Carolina could beat the rags in round 2. It sounds like we can’t beat them, the Islanders can’t beat them but the rags can’t LOSE to them! Last year Carolina was the first team to lose every game by 1 goal when they were swept in the ECFs against Florida. This year they could pull it off again but a round earlier against the dreaded RAGS!
Someone needs to KNOW how to beat them! Who is up for the task?
EDIT: Due to the poor reception I need to mention that this post is NOT about obsessing on the rangers it’s about COMPLETELY ENDING the MISERY of 23-24 despite being nearly a month removed from the last Devils game. The rags winning it all would make this a TRUE NIGHTMARE after all the preseason predictions and doom and gloom from rangers fans for the near future after we beat them last year!

Zacha will take them out

Is it just me that’s tired of seeing people in this fanbase obsess over New York team bad? I will be annoyed if they go all the way, but it’s just not a good look to have this sub talk about them this much.
It has to be a team that can match their physicality 5v5, or at least not be overwhelmed by it… AND somehow negate their special teams advantages. Dallas, Boston, Florida are the only ones that I see with a chance.
It doesn’t matter. It’s all a competition to see who gets to lose to the Western Conference champion.
