My view on him definitely did a 180.

Rangers' poor special teams (shocking) let the Flyers hang around. At 5-on-5 it was no contest for the majority of the series.
Penguins have more talent on paper than the Rangers, but that goalie could be the equalizer. If it were Fleury in net last night instead of Mason, the Rangers would've been up 5-0 after 2. I love our depth right now and I think playing a more finesse team in the Pens rather than Boston in the 2nd round will be huge, especially with the ridiculous schedule the NHL laid out for the series.
