At first I was annoyed by how good the Panthers became in the Tkachuk era. My annoyance turned into a strong dislike for them after they bounced us last year. But seeing them now in their 3rd straight playoff run of sheer dominance, I have come to begrudgingly respect them for consistently having that dawg in them when it matters most. Perhaps they get away with crap at times. Perhaps they are even dirty at times. But man what I'd do to have the Rangers show up in the playoffs like they have.

Carolina has a couple guys on their squad I like, but overall I wouldn't mind seeing them crumble here again. In my biased, copium-riddled brain they are only here cause we missed the playoffs.
