Ben Shelley: Hurricanes will likely rely heavily on Hamilton and Slavin against Rangers

The Canes are very deep and talented and I peg them as a serious contender in the east. 1)Tampa, 2) Bos, 3/4), Caps & Canes

Fleury was playing well at season's pause and I would feel more comfortable with him on the third pairing.

Do you guys even have a GM???

Who knew you could find one in the gig economy?

Translation..the owner is a giant loser!

Good blog, Ben!
This could easily be one of the major story lines for the series. With NY having 2 distinct and equally dangerous top lines (and not much after that...) this 2nd pairing match up may by crucial. I'd say it's definitely advantage 'Canes that it's only a best of 5. They can ride the top pair a little more than usual.
Can't wait!! This should be a hell of a series.

This is where losing Pesce hurts so much.

Being able to role Gardiner/Fleury/Vatanen as your third pairing would be huge.
