Round Two Preview: Forwards
By Erik Fowlie
On to the second round! Coming into round two, we should see both teams well rested coming off relatively short series. The Hurricanes were tested much more in their first round against a pesky Islanders team, finishing them in five games. On the other side, the Rangers swept their first round opponent; a Capitals team that may be one of the worst playoff teams in recent memory. This will be a much tougher test for both teams as we move onto round two.
