Good win last night. Nice to see Mac finish it off and Turris score a big goal. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, our forwards aren't good enough to rely on one or two consistently. All of them need to have a big game game here and there in order to have any kind of playoff success. That happened in round one.

Karlsson on the other hand brought it every game. I thought his game 5 was the weakest, but was still incredibly noticeable. Let's hope his heal doesn't get any worse.

The Rangers will be a very different opponent. We won't be facing a bunch of depth AHL players replacing key guys in the lineup this time around. Hank was the best as I've ever seen him in the Habs series.

In my opinion, they have Hank and we have Karlsson. Then the rest is sort of a wash. I'd give the overall edge to NYR due to their depth. However, the system Boucher plays might work well against this Ranger team.

My Sens fan hat says Sens in 7. My realist hat says Rangers in 6.

The two wins 1 Fanta in goal 2 rangers sat at least 6 regulars yeah that that should give you lots of confidence

Right on and the only time NYR beat the Sens Condon was in net and he played horribly. Also, last game of year Karlsson didn't play and he's the equivalent of 6 Rangers regulars. The "system" is going to shut the Rangers down.

So in your expert opinion why is it you think the Rangers are going to easily win?

I think the Sens will win easily because the Rangers are highly overrated and had a Columbus Bluejackets type season where the majority of there wins came before trade deadline and then limped into the playoffs. I think the Rangers got lucky beating the Habs and have no chance of winning unless Lundqvist stands on his head.I think Guy Boucher is going to coach Alain under the table and when this is over you will be complaining that it's not fair because the Sens played like the Devils.

In your expert opinion your team will win. Good for you. Ref season means nothing season series means nothing and the sens are the overrated team here. You struggled mightily to beat a depleted Boston squad you basically have no offense you rely on the trap and your goaltender is middle of the road at best but good luck anyway your gonna need it!

Brassard will have more hunger to preform in this series then say Zibanejad. .Lundqvist will have another cup less year. MTL is still a soft team I am sure the Bruin fans noticed Ottawa has a nasty edge to them and now it's time for the nyr to find out. .

Ottawa will prevail

Who over rates the Sens?
Vegas had Boston as the betting favorite every game of the series.

Here's the thing I think the Sens are lucky that they don't have to play the Habs and are extremely lucky they get to play the Rangers. You can think whatever you want about Anderson and the style the team plays but those 2 things are knocking the Rangers out in 5!

You over rate the sens but whatever. We will see starting Thursday.and by the way those two things plus a HUGE advantage in goal is why you will lose

You're wrong. Karlsson with 1 leg in 4.

Clearly the word objectivity is foreign to you huh I understand being confident in your teams ability to win series but to tear the opposing team smells of fear because you know your team isn't as good as you believe. Which is probably why your coach plays the boring SYSTEM that he does!!!

I like the way you think, you could be on to something with that prediction

Your right shouldn't even play series Rangers have no chance vs the perennially juggernaut that is the Ottawa Senators!!!!

I don't know why it wasn't more obvious before. I'd wish you good luck, but it looks like the rangers need all the luck they can get to have a chance.

Ouch you really nailed my thought process.
Here I was thinking I was playing with a guy trolling and then you hit me with this.

I'm going to think on this tonight and re-examine on a good night sleep.

You must frequent James Tanners' blogs. He is extremely intelligent. He also has the Senators winning.

ya sure well the annual unbeatable king Cupless lundqvist is still your net minder must be extremely comforting to you or the fact that you just beat the annual softest team in the playoffs but either way come out and enjoy the popcorn
