I'll stay with you, Jim, on keys to victory for the Rangers
I mean, it's like they walked through the capitals and not much issues there
How are they going to beat the Hurricanes? Which, I mean, they're a pretty powerhouse team
but the Rangers are themselves too. So how are they gonna kind of push their way through
to the Eastern Conference final here? They're gonna have to be patient
You're not gonna do much against the Hurricanes. They frustrate you to no end
Two years ago when they had that epic, it was the same thing
And the Rangers can't let themselves get frustrated if they don't get as many good looks
they get locked down a little bit. They gotta take the chances where they need to
and take advantage of them when they do get them. That could end up going like it did two years ago
even though there's a lot of, so there's some new players, there's a lot of the same players
and a lot of the key core players. And it would be that kind of series
And they did stay patient until they got a little frustrated in the first two games that they lost
And then they came back and won the next two and went on from there. That's what they need to do
but it'd be nice to start that out in game one. Again, they also need to stay out of the penalty box
and eliminate a lot of stupid mistakes that they have frequently made
in the course of the season that's hurt them in a variety of games
And I think if they can handle all of that, they've got a really good shot to win this series
