00:00We saw an even pick them on the money line, minus 110 for the Panthers, minus 110 for

00:09the Rangers.

00:10A total at five and a half, that stays under and the Panthers pounce and cash that slight

00:15money line price with a three nothing victory in New York, planking the Rangers and taking

00:22a 1-0 series advantage to begin the Eastern Conference Finals.

00:27And I can't say it was a surprise, but the surprise was the way the final score ended

00:32up three to nothing here.

00:34Because the New York Rangers, you know, watching some of these how it's going through and how

00:36long ago it's been since the New York Rangers got shut out, particularly in the playoffs.

00:41That was eye-opening because we know how good a goalie Shesterkin is and that's not really

00:44his fault.

00:45You're playing a good Florida Panthers team, but the question was, hey, look at this second

00:49straight series.

00:50We take a look at the New York Rangers being the underdog here and you saw the last series,

00:54they handled their business right out of the gate.

00:56So you probably expected Madison Square Garden to be rocking in the same type of thing.

01:00Hey, Rangers get out of town, maybe a 2-0 series lead before you even get back to Florida.

01:04But Florida goes in there and that wasn't a fluke performance either, Ben.

01:07That wasn't like, hey, bad call late in the game, 1-0 and the Florida Panthers escape.

01:12That was a dominant performance by the Panthers, who again, not unexpected to win a game, but

01:17coming into Madison Square Garden game number one and really taking down the Rangers.

01:21That was surprising to me.
