It’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s Stanley Cup playoff time!
Daily News Rangers beat writer Pat Leonard joined the podcast on Wednesday from Pittsburgh to preview another playoff series between the Blueshirts and the Penguins.
It’s the third straight season these two teams have tangled in a postseason series. The Rangers won the last two years, but the Blueshirts are running into the hottest team in hockey ... without home-ice advantage.
Leonard explains why he thinks the Penguins have too-much firepower this time around, when we can expect to see injured captain Ryan McDonagh on the ice (if at all) and much more as we talk playoff hockey for a good 45 minutes.
