Zach, what about the Hurricanes to get through the Rangers this time
0:03
I mean, like you said, they have a really deep team. They got all these players that seem to be, you know
0:10
we didn't even talk about, like you said about Kuznetsov. How are they going to beat the Rangers here
0:20
I would say stick to your structure defense, like what you guys talked about, as long as they can stay in their system
0:28
and there's because there was a couple of times in the first round where they kind of had a couple defensive lapses and puck watch
0:34
and they got burned by it. I would definitely say if they, you know, go back, watch the tape
0:39
tighten it up. And, you know, Tim Gleason, the defensive coach will do that
0:44
If they if they can get back to what they have been good at all season and stifling teams and frustrating them and then being able to transition
0:51
the way they do, you know, Jalen Chaffee will do it. He's got speed. Demetri Orlov, Brady Shea's offensively minded
0:57
You know, Brent Burns. He can basically score at will. I mean, Jacob Slavin, who's probably the best defensive defenseman in the NHL
1:07
should have a, you know, a Norris, but that's a whole different conversation
1:10
for another time. But it's just and like his only penalty in the first round
1:15
was a puck over the glass. Like, that's just how clean Jacob Slavin is. Like, that's his only penalty
1:20
Like, it's just as long as they can stick to that and frustrate the Rangers
1:25
to where it's like they're not getting a lot of shots or they're getting blocks or they're keeping them in the perimeter and basically just
1:30
forcing them to make plays and make mistakes, which could lead into them taking, you know, a bunch of penalties
1:37
And that just in then you're put in the second best power play unit on the ice
1:41
that you saw in the regular season. And then even like I said, even if the Hurricanes get in trouble
1:46
you're still talking about the best penalty kill. You know, it's NHL, too
1:50
So it's like it's like what make pick your poison on special teams
1:54
Do you want to you want to deal with the penalty kill or the power kill? Some people call it or the power play. Yeah, that's just really
2:00
Yeah. So as long as they play their defense and frustrate the Rangers and just stick to what they do best, which is going to just grind you out
2:08
but still score well, because you have guys who can score like you said, Matt
2:12
you know, top three in the league in terms of scoring. So as long as they stick to that
2:16
I think that's how they're going to do it against the Rangers is just don't chase
2:20
and don't don't don't start going into what how, you know, the physicality and, you know, getting into, you know, scraps
2:29
or post whistle stuff with the Rangers to stick to your game and just frustrate them and just take advantage of it. Really
