O.K. first and foremost I expect a much less physical series then the one the Rangers just endured against the Devils. Don't get me wrong there will be plenty of scrums, Sean Avery will harass Sid and Malkin every time they are on the ice together, and I'm sure that Laraque and Ruutu will be in Jagr and Gomez's faces, especially Ruutu on Jagr. I don't know what Ruutu says/does to Jagr but I get the strong feeling that those two dislike each other.
In this series home ice means nothing, it will boil down to the Pens offense Vs. the Rangers defense and Lundqvist. If the Rangers can keep the Pens to 2 goals or less they should win, and the Rangers have to keep these games low scoring, they don't have the fire-power to match the Pens.
I see a tough hard fought series with the Rangers winning game 6 in front of the home crowd. (You didn't think I was going against my team, did you?) Main reason being, they have the best Goalie left in the eastern conference play-offs. MAF is good but Hank is better.
Feel free to agree/disagree, throw insults, and laugh at me. Just be careful you don't get to over confident.
