The Blackhawks and Rangers escaped the quarterfinal round with narrow victories over Washington and Vancouver, respectively. Expect this contest to be close, too, especially considering the similarities between these two. Both have existed for a long time, they don't win Stanley Cups too often and they have extremely dedicated fan bases that hold their respective squads to high expectations. This matchup has never been recognized as a big rivalry despite the teams' Original Six status. Still, these teams should create quite a stir against each other.
