Rangers-Hurricanes a familiar rivalry with plenty of new twists
NY Post
The only reason why the Rangers’ upcoming second-round series against the Hurricanes headlines as a rematch of their 2022 clash is because of the roster similarities.
Otherwise, the two years that have passed offer up a much different matchup.
One that can’t be compared to the Blueshirts’ seven-game triumph two seasons ago, which unfolded under different circumstances and resulted in the club’s first trip to the Eastern Conference final since 2015.
This time around it is a guaranteed postseason spectacle between the two Metropolitan Division powerhouses.
Two clubs who are well into a tug-of-war for conference supremacy that is expected to continue for years to come.
Contrary to how some are evaluating this series, there really is no underdog.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
