Fox's Take |
| |
Goalie |
 |
Slightest of edges to Martin Brodeur over Henrik Lundqvist, although Brodeur will have to be better than he was in last year's postseason. |
 |
Forwards |
|
If all goes well, Rangers get edge because of more depth. |
 |
Defense |
 |
Devils are tougher, bigger and stronger. New York is more mobile and plays it safe. |
 |
Power Play |
 |
Not much is happening with either team. Whoever gets hot will be huge. |
 |
Penalty Kill |
|
Slight edge to Rangers, team has bought into overall defensive approach. |
 |
Coaching |
|
Brent Sutter has done fine job in first year, but Tom Renney has sold team structure to this Ranger group. |
 |
Intangibles |
|
It just seems like the Rangers believe they can do it. |

|
Bottom Line: Home ice belongs to the Devils, but too much up-front depth will put the Rangers on top. New York in 6! |
