Rangers were strong all year. I'll take em in 5.

Rangers in 6.

I want Ottawa to win as they are the only other Canadian team but I pick the Rangers to be in the Finals. Goaltending is the big difference.

Rangers are heavy favorites but they should take care of business early or they'd be in trouble, Ottawa could pull an upset

Why dont we ask those couple guys who are taking the Sens to put there money where there mouths are?

The few taken the Sens are just Ranger haters and a few admit to it.

Now as for my opinion. I hate the Sens because they always seem to have our number. Come tomorrow night the Rangers arent going to be able to play how they have been playing the last few weeks and squeak by here. They need to be rolling on all 4 wheels. Henrik cant keep letting in shi* goals like he has been, he needs to be the Henrik of the first half of the year. The defense cant give up those rushed passes in front of Hank that lead to 5 goals in 3 straight games and the offense needs to have some chemistry and not just from the 1st line.

If they can play like they did for most of the season (anything but like the last month) then the Rangers are the team to beat in any series.

Rangers in 5. I think the Sens take game 1 and then get rocked in 4 straight.

My heart obviously roots for the Sens but my brain tells me that the Rags just have too much for us in so many areas. Karlsson is a great player and has been stand out for us this year, but the playoffs is a whole different ball game. Torts is a smart coach and has a lot of grit at his disposal on the wings, so I'm sure they'll pay extra special attention to him.

That being said, there is a lot of pressure on Henrik, and if they get at him early and he leaks a couple, it could headf**k him, I wanna see Chris Neil all up in his face from the first shift.

Rags in 5

[Whaler Fan]

Rangers in 6. and Neil versus Prust as the only fight..

[KiddYidd]

Ottawa doesn't have a prayer. Be surprised if the Senators win one. Rangers sweep!

[Gtrain15]

Rags in 4.sweep

[Hagstrom]

As much as I'd like the Sens to win, since I'd rather have them being the Canadian team to go deep, I can't see it happening, realistically.

Two points of interest:

1) does queen Henry choke like he has in the past playoffs?

2) Sens are streaky, win 10, lose 5. If they come in hot they can beat any team in the league.

time will tell.
