Hooo boy, this is going to be an excellent series. Shesterkin vs. Andersen will be a battle. I'm going with Rangers in 7.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Rangers in 6. Canes are too vanilla to win anything big.

[agulati]

Rangers in 6. Both teams will finally get to play actual playoff hockey

[Sylvanfan]

Canes in 6. I hope Brind'Amour has the Canes ultra motivated to make Adam Fox miserable. Expect this to be a very tight low scoring series.

[Erick Estrada]

Rangers in 7. There's something about the Hurricanes that makes me look for reasons not to pick them when facing a strong opponent. They have solid talent and depth but lack a game breaker and I don't overly care for the often conservative style of hockey they play.
