Quoting: Rags21
I’m not angry with the loss because Florida is good. I am angry because it didn’t look like the Rangers played with any effort and didn’t make any adjustments
They kept getting pinned in their own zone, flipping the puck out, changing lines, playing defense and start the cycle over
I picked Florida to win the Cup before the playoffs started because I didn't see any team capable of matching up against them with their combination of skill, size, physicality, F and D depth, goaltending, playoff experience and coaching.
They give opponents no room to breathe with their aggressive forecheck.
They wear opponents down each game and by the time game 5 comes they're sucking on fumes like the Rangers were.
Shesty made it a series but it was clear Florida was the better team.
I don't question the Rangers effort level.
They were just beaten down physically.
Until a team plays Florida in a playoff series they don't know what's coming.
Oilers will soon find that out.
