Eastern Conference Final: New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning

[Captain Lando]

If you look back on the previous 2 series against the Penguins and Hurricanes the Rangers were down 3 games to 2 and they came back to win both series in game 7. Now the Lightning are a different beast to deal with so that challenge is going to be much more difficult, but still possible.

Congrats to TB. What a final it will be. Hungry young lions vs battle tested champs. Can’t wait.

So much is being made of the Bolts trying to get the first three-peet since the Islanders, but there are more comparisons than that. As you said, hungry young lions vs battle tested champs. This is the 1983 Stanley Cup Finals all over again. And I can see things going the same way. Bolts win this year, then next year Colorado beat them to start their own dynasty.
