The playoff series between the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes is proving to be a powder keg of intensity.
From hard hits to diving plays, and even some fiery exchanges between the benches, it's all the drama you expect from the NHL postseason. Adding to the spectacle, a hot mic during the game caught an especially bold moment.
On the Nasty Knuckles Podcast, it was highlighted that Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo was really stirring the pot. He reportedly challenged Rangers' K'Andre Miller to a fight, a moment that has fans buzzing.
Given DeAngelo's past with the Rangers, his targeting Miller is particularly noteworthy. Although he joked about not choosing to challenge bigger opponents like Ryan Reaves, it's clear DeAngelo isn't backing down from anyone.
This series is only getting hotter as these familiar playoff adversaries clash, creating what could be the next great rivalry.
