Contradictions

Examples:

  • The New York Rangers and Florida Panthers are facing off in the Eastern Conference Finals.
  • The Rangers captured the Presidents’ Trophy as the team with the most points during the regular season -- something that typically a curse for teams once they get to the postseason -- but, obviously, that hasn’t bitten them thus far.
  • This is likely going to be a very physical, tight series that will feature plenty of offensive outbursts. When push comes to shove, the Panthers are the team that I think has the mettle to persevere after being pushed to their limit against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins in the first two rounds.

Deceptions

75%

Examples:

  • I’m fascinated to see how these competing styles play out on the ice, and I expect the closest series we’ve seen so far. Only one team can advance, though, and I believe the Panthers are just a smidge more complete than the Rangers.
  • New York captured the Presidents’ Trophy as the team with the most points during the regular season -- something that typically a curse for teams once they get to the postseason -- but, obviously, that hasn’t bitten them thus far.
  • The Rangers folded like a cheap suit in the opening round of last year’s playoffs, but it’s been a completely different story in 2024.
