NHL Friday 5/24

Surely the Rangers will come out hot tonight after their game 1 disaster. They need to get out to a very physical start. They were the hottest team after the break. Taking the Rangers tonight.

In this year’s playoffs in hockey unlike the NBA ( is more business oriented and teams can just throw the towel…) the home ice advantage means nothing…. Regardless where the stadium is you have 2 teams, each with 4 lines, each line will get 45 seconds a shift and for 60 minutes you will get the best out of everyone who is on ice…. That’s why there is nothing like NHL playoffs…. If the Rangers loose tonight most likely they will take 2 aut of 3 in Florida … if not … they will be lucky to win one…. All teams know one thing…. The most important thing is the rest and limit injuries… that’s why nobody will ever give you a game for free just because…. You got to earn that…. If the Rangers will open the Ice more doesn’t mean they will win the game , maybe it will be a higher scoring contest but still you don’t play to score more goals but you play to win… how can you beat the Panthers??? Ask the Bruins …. Have to play the same style as Florida, knowing…. If your goalie is great and can make a key saves… all you have to do is score 2 …. Otherwise you’re going to be just like Tampa…. Just for everyone to remember…. Don’t matter where the game is played but how its played….. good luck to everyone!!

Well said PT. You are correct as home ice means very little in the playoffs.
