Getty Images The Carolina Hurricanes fell short in Game 1 of their second round series against the New York Rangers on Sunday afternoon. The start of the second round of the 2024 playoffs felt a lot like 2022 for the Carolina Hurricanes, as they lost the special teams battle to fall 4-3 to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers made the Canes pay for their lapses, as less than three minutes into the game Mika Zibanejad finished off a grade-A chance to make it 1-0.

Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images We at least know when the games will happen. As we wake up to Game 1 of the Hurricanes/Rangers series, most of us had the same question: When are the other games? Finally, after Boston defeated Toronto in overtime of Game 7, the entire Eastern Conference Semifinals were set and the league felt they could announce the rest of the schedule. Well, at least the dates.

Photo by Katherine Gawlik/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images We’re rolling into the second round. (But wait, the first round isn’t over yet!) You’re right, it isn’t — but this is the NHL, so surely this can’t be surprising to you. I will begin by saying the NHL is doing me absolutely no favors with the scheduling of the second round as it relates to this contest.

(Not only that, but we won’t even know the Avalanche’s opponent until after the ..read more

Photo by Josh Lavallee/NHLI via Getty Images Can the Canes make this look different than 2022? The great thing about the current format of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is that you are guaranteed to see a team that you’ve seen so many times in the first couple of rounds. We saw it in the last round with another pass at the Islanders, and we’re going to get it again with the series against the Rangers. It’ll be the third time in five seasons that the Canes will have faced the Rangers in postseason play, and if not for the Rangers stumbling against the Devils last season it would have been the fourth ..read more
