00:00 I mean Madison Square Garden certainly has been rocking but in the Rangers favorite as well, easily dispatching over the Washington Capitals.
00:06 What's the vibe around the city on the Rangers? Because typically when we see a team that wins the President's Cup, you say, "Uh-oh, there's usually a curse."
00:14 Can the Rangers break that curse and go on a long run here, Nikki?
00:17 Listen, I think what they did in the first round of the playoffs was not necessarily surprising just because I think they were by far the better team over Washington.
00:26 But I just think that seeing them have that dominance kind of silenced people because as we know, they were very hot and cold this season.
00:34 They would go on a crazy good run and then it would be like, "Okay, they lost 8 of 10," or whatever the crazy numbers were.
00:39 So I think for them to do that right off the bat kind of made people believe even more.
00:45 But I think it's a whole different ballgame now when you get the—when you get Carolina here, their head and shoulders better than D.C.
00:52 So I think there's a very small margin of error in that series versus what there was against the Caps.
00:58 But MSG's going to be crazy. I think you win this first game, it really sets the tone for the whole series.
