2014 Stanley Cup Final...

That's got to be soooo demoralizing for the Rangers...

Up 2-0, 3-1, and 4-2... then you lose in OT 5-4 after 90 minutes of play.

Not to mention that you are now down 2-0 in the series.

That blows lol.

Attaboy Kings.

What a game. Great goal to win! GKG!

While the goalie interference call may have been questionable, the fact the Rangers got 2 more power plays (Nash flopped after skating into Williams) and the Carter "hit" on Lundy (I would have called the slash- the shoulder bump was just that- a bump and Lundy flopped like a college basketball player) and didn't even get a shot on goal in those 2 power plays is just bad.

 

Think of it- 4 minutes of power play and you didn't even get a shot on goal while the Kings got a total of 5 short-handed shots on goal in those same power plays.

 

The Rangers cannot go out there and try to be physical with the Kings, their legs won't last (as we've seen). The Rangers also cannot go out there with afterburners on and try to speed past the Kings either, their legs won't last. So, it remains to be seen just how the Rangers are going to deal with LA. I'm thinking we may see the ol' neutral zone trap like NJ used to play back in the day...  looked like they were using it some last night toward the end of regulation.

Jonathan Quick is trash.

How is he trash? He's let in 2 less goals than the "superior" King and he has a Conn Smythe?

[h0llywood]

Should be embellishing on Lundy. He really sold that.

I also never understood why you can't even touch the goaltender when they are playing the puck behind the net. Seems really dumb.

That's what the trapezoid is for

What the hell are you doing Dwight King...

Placement not power.

King is by far the least talented of the forwards with Clifford being the close second. At this stage of the playoffs, I would rank Trevor Lewis above Mike Richards based on their play.

Are you a Kings fan?

Are you a Kings fan?

Since the Gretzky days. Favorite player is Ziggy Palffy.

I love Tanner Pearson.

 

If Eric Staal worked as hard as Pearson did then he'd be a top five player in the NHL.

Cause he looks like what Ward did when he started his downfall. He's not dominate like he used to be. Very beatable. Making too many mistakes. Which sucks cause Quick is one of my favorite American players in the league. Only thing Quick has that Ward didn't though is a better team around him.

I'm going to be honest and and hated Pearson when the season started. I got used to his speed and hustle that you would see from a young one trying to make the roster. His pairing on the 70s line has really made him very attractive.

 

My only grumbling is Mike Richards. He needs to go like yesterday. He is paid like a 1st line centerman and contributes like he's down in Manchester.

I'm looking for a solid game from the Kings today. They played like crap the last 3 games so hopefully they get it together early and sustain the entire game.

Yeah they've been lucky, if they can get win today I rage.
