After last year's early exit I wouldn't pencil in any opponent as an easy mark, playoffs are totally different and regular season advantages can be erased by a lesser team with physicality. Lav's priority is getting the Rangers as physically ready as possible, he should be able to rest any top line forward/dman without worries of a significant drop off thanks to Drury deepening the roster. Lav is making a huge mistake playing Brod over Rempe, who the crowd was chanting for last night. We already know what we have with the more than able backup Brodzinski, Rempe needs gametime experience Jonny doesn't.
The Rangers finishing a series in less than 6 games....hahaha...riiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttt. Just finish out this seemingly endless regular season with a healthy lineup. That is what will give them the best chance for a deep run.
