Rangers v. Cardinals: A look at the series

Rangers: Look for them to score early - and often against the pourous Cards defense. Ace Henrik Lundqvist can shut down an offense, and Mike Rupp and Bryan Boyle aren't afraid to bust open a few skulls. But can they stop the Arizona passing attack?


Cardinals: Look for Beanie Wells and Larry Fitzgerald to have field days against the slowfooted Rangers defensemen, who aren't used to an air game. Overall, I see the teams playing even, but Arizona's scoring capabilities give it the edge.

Prediction:

Game one: Cards 32, Rangers 4.

Game two: Cards 28, Rangers 2.

Game three: Cards 21, Rangers 4.

Game four: Cards 24, Rangers 1.
