This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Rangers.

These teams are really evenly matched. It would not be difficult to write a convincing argument for either side to win.

But it's the Rangers that offer the best value here at home. As good as Florida has looked, New York is going to be able to match it defensively here.

The Panthers have been hit or miss offensively throughout the playoffs as well.

Look for "home ice" to really matter and play a big part in why the RANGERS skate away with Game 1 of the ECF.

Good luck, NP
