The New York Rangers and Florida Panthers are the two most physical teams in the playoffs, making for some amazing Stanley Cup hockey.

In tonight's game, after a goal, the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers fought in an extravagant way, with Matthew Tkachuk pinning down Vincent Trochek, and several other players getting involved.

This was part of the magic expected after the New York Rangers unexpectedly scratched 2019 second overall pick Kappo Kakko in lieu of physical beast Matt Rempe.

OH THE CHAOS FOLLOWING THE RANGERS OPENING GOAL

The New York Rangers' strategy of trying to be more tough than the Panthers is a good one, but it is far from easy. They will need to have all hands on deck to stop the team that made it to the Stanley Cup finals only last season.

The Florida Panthers are looking to go all the way, and we can expect several more brawls and fights this series!
