00:05 Now if I'm understanding the bracket correctly,

00:08 hurricanes would be on deck who are also up 3-0.

00:12 Is that why we're seeing the Rangers at the price we're seeing them at right now,

00:16 just Carolina expected to be so excellent?

00:19 >> Yeah, it absolutely is, especially the step up we look from the New York Rangers

00:24 playing the Washington Capitals now and then having to turn around and

00:28 playing the Carolina Hurricanes.

00:29 It's gonna be a hugely different game out there for the New York Rangers.

00:33 And now I do have a lot of faith in this team.

00:35 Igor Susterkin is so phenomenally strong in goal.

00:39 But that difference between the Canes and the Capitals is huge out there.

00:44 So I expect those struggles with the Rangers versus the Carolina Hurricanes.

00:48 I do think though that matchup will be a tight lower scoring one.

00:52 We look at Igor versus Frederick Anderson.

00:54 We both know these goaltenders are so phenomenally strong.

00:58 Offensively, there's playmakers on both sides.

01:01 Panarin being so strong for the Rangers this season.

01:04 I do expect them to put up a fight.

01:07 But getting past the Carolina Hurricanes,

01:09 the odd favorite to win the Stanley Cup, is gonna be hard for the New York Rangers.

01:13 They do have the ability though, and I do think it is a nice matchup for them.

01:17 So if you wanna look at the Rangers, I don't hate it, Kevin.

01:20 I think actually they could beat the Carolina Hurricanes.
