The idea that you wanted to play us over a two-line Capitals team is ... interesting.

Rangers have no answer for Tampa's speed. That's rich.

I'm expecting another hard-fought series and have said all along the Lightning are the team that scares me the most in the East, but wow, that's a lot of hubris wishing to face a 113-point team with the best goalie in the world. Good luck.
Nailed it.

There is no faster person in the league (the world) than Hagelin, no one on Tampa is faster than Krieder even. Speed is not the worry, only Bishop can beat this team.

as far as the Kreider comment, i would venture a small wager that Stamkos is a faster skater then him

Good thing it's a small wager because you'd lose and it wouldn't be close. Stamkos is great, but end-to-end Kreider is easily faster than him. He routinely starts after an outlet pass several strides behind a defender (and not a backpedaling one) and ends up with a breakaway. Never once seen Stamkos do that.

so he passes your eye test and that's what dictates the result?
as far as his out skating defenders, that's what all forwards should be able to do, and who's to say that defender isn't michael rozsvial?

for what its worth, i'd rather take east to west speed with the puck then end to end, and the reasons should be fairly obvious

It's not a debate, man. You wouldn't find one person in the NHL who would say Stamkos is faster than Kreider.

I have nothing but respect for Stamkos, but the statement that the Rangers have "no answer for Tampa's speed" despite us having the two fastest players on the ice (and Nash ain't exactly slow) is just laughable.
