Canes in 3.
Lots of love for the Rangers in the media, part of it warranted.
But Carolina had a very good trade deadline. Vatanen and Trocheck are solid acquisitions. Hamilton is back healthy.
Hurricanes in 5 and it's the best matchup of this play-in round.
Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.
Canes in 3.
The most intriguing series in my opinion. I chose the rags in 5. I'm going to pay close attention to Fox's play as I'm targeting him. As an Aho, Svech, DeAngelo owner, I think this will be a fun watch.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
Rangers in 5. Goaltending.

Hamilton out for weeks. According to Sara Civian on Twitter:
I’m hearing Dougie Hamilton’s injury is NOT a re-aggravation of his broken leg and timetable for return is in the realm of weeks not months. So not great news but could be way worse.
Rangers in 5.
NYR in 4
Lundy starts with Shestyerkin not on the bench? Looks like they are going strong for Lafrenière.

Who had Slavin in the pool scoring the first playoff goal of the season? Also, who had Ryan Strome versus Justin Williams in the first fight of the playoffs?
Big hits, a fight, and a goal in the first 3 minutes of the game! Let's go!

I've been away from hockey for so long, I forgot Carolina had Trocheck and Vatanen! Welp, not sure if I would have chosen NYR had I been on the ball. Oh well, let's see how the rest of the series plays out.
