Sean McCaffrey would be the perfect guy to go to a bar and watch hockey with. (I know; I've done it.) He's funny, knowledgeable and opinionated.

Did I mention he's from New York City?

Sean is the author of two books about the Rangers, and writes about them on his BlueCollarBlueshirts.com blog. Even though he wears his Rangers fandom on his sleeve - actually both sleeves, his chest, and the back of his "Igor" Shesterkin Blueshirts sweater - he's also a go-to guy for the other Eastern Conference first round matchups.

That's what we do in this Kraken Reaction conversation.
