‘Deep’ Rangers completely overpowering Capitals in every facet of playoff series
NY Post
The Rangers are two games into these Stanley Cup playoffs and it’s quite clear what their superpower is, why they were Presidents’ Trophy winners and are a favorite to drink from the cherished chalice for the first time in 30 years.
Depth is the Rangers’ superpower.
Depth is the reason that, after Tuesday night’s 4-3 win over the Capitals in Game 2 of the playoffs at the Garden, they take a 2-0 series lead to Washington on Friday night.
Depth is the reason the Rangers have looked like the superior team in this series.
In the two games, eight different Rangers have scored their eight goals.
On Sunday night, it was their fourth line, highlighted by rookie Matt Rempe, who hasn’t even played 20 NHL games yet, that was the star of the show.
The Jets’ offensive line is such a concern that it is impossible not to think about it and worry about it. If — and that is the two-letter word that means so much here — the rebuilt unit stays healthy, it should be able to give Aaron Rodgers the opportunity to show that at 40 years old he still has what it takes.
