The issue I have with the Rangers was on full display the entire series. They're young, wildly inconsistent, and their inexperience really shows in their decision making at times.

They basically didn't even show up in game 6 until Rodrigues took that dumb retaliation penalty. Their offense only comes in bursts and they go through long stretches of lethargy where the Penguins would just beat them to every puck.

Carolina should be a rather large favorite. The Rangers played them twice at the end of the regular season at home, and got smashed both times. Any team with a disciplined defensive structure can frustrate the Rangers off their game.

In any case, this is fantastic for the Rangers future prospects. This kind of playoff experience will be very useful for a team whose window should be open for a few years.
