Carolina is by far the best defensive team in the league and has been all year. Massive difference between them and an average defensive team like the Rangers. I still don't have much confidence in their forwards with so many injured top 9 Fs. But I hope they prove me wrong.
FIRST, we have to stop the Canes stretch passes along with a quick tip into the middle of the ice that they use to advance into the neutral zone without having to out-skate us, this also prevents us from getting turnovers on the rush because the puck spends such a little amount of time in the neutral zone. SECONDLY we have to find a way to counter act there 1, 2, 2 fore-check, it suffocates us in our own end and causes mayhem and is preventing us from getting the puck out of our own end.
