My Prediction
New York Rangers by 2This is the good old face off between the New York Rangers and Calgary Flames, and boy, is this going to be an adrenaline rush or what? You can almost smell the ice can't you?
Looking at the goalkeepers, I hope the Flames have their marshmallow sticks ready because New York's cage is guarded by the astounding duo of Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick. On the Flames' side, though they've got wolf in sheep's clothing ingredients and a guy who might just be Dracula in disguise, Dustin Wolf and Dan Vladar, none of them outshine New York's dynamic duo.
Now, let's check out the Knights of the Round Puck. For the Rangers, I must mention Artemi Panarin. This cookie has been baking in the goal oven with 10 goals this season. Will Cuylle, too, is on the rampage as he netted 6 goals this season. Kaapo Kakko, Mika Zibanejad, and heading to the brick-layer category, Adam Fox, are not far behind. For those cheering for the Flames, a real swiper-no-swiping scenario here with Mikael Backlund, Nazem Kadri, MacKenzie Weegar and Blake Coleman, all putting some hard numbers on the dashboard.
The rink has seen these two teams fighting it out before, with their last four outings having seen the Rangers win thrice and the Flames once. The last time the Flames hosted, they managed to prevail, a fact I'm sure isn't lost on the Rangers. As for their season records, the Rangers have been over the moon with 12 wins compared to the Flames' 10.
Rolling off the memory lane, the most recent encounters have seen the Rangers triumphant in 4 of their last 5 matches. The Flames, meanwhile, were a little inconsistent, to say the least.
Now that you are trembling with anticipation, let's put an end to the suspense. May I have a drum roll, please?
