Default NYR vs Panthers Round 2 Preview

Well this one should be interesting.....................Rangers had a tough first round match-up with the Senators most games were very close and the series went to 6 games before the Rangers won it. Panthers had a first round up match-up with the Penguins however the Penguins lost their starter and backup goalie just before the end of the season. This prooved to be to much to overcome and they were swept.

Key Factors
  • Panthers are a healthly team while Rangers have their #1 Center Todd White on the IR.
  • Can the Rangers defense contain the high scoring Panthers offense? This is the biggest question in the series. Panthers are the number 1 scoring team in the playoffs with a avg of 5.25.
  • Rangers have found peace with the SIM Gods can this continue......?
  • Who will be the better goalie Roloson or Nabakov?
  • Can the Rangers contain the Panthers PowerPlay? Panthers Power Play has a 22% effeciency in the Playoffs.
