No kidding! They just plain made the Canadiens look BAD! And at the Bell Centre... Rangers have been hot on the road this post-season, haven't they?

I'm ready for my Blackhawks to give LA another good game on Wednesday. I'm starting to think the 'Hawks could win it again, if they keep pulling out wins like they've been doing. It's hard to believe, but they now have home ice advantage the rest of the way. Lots of top seeds getting knocked out.

It's good that the Kings got an extra day rest. The Friday to Sunday was too short a break for them. The extra days will help them for Wednesday. Kings are 6-0 in elimination games now.

Go Kings Go!

Entered a playoff pool that was structured much like the March Madness "bracket"...after round 2 I have no teams left standing. :(
To be fair to anyone who is cheering for a team that is still playing, I'll avoid any predictions. :)

Yep, whoever wins that game has to be the favorite to win the Cup.

Gonna be a great game... This has been some outstanding hockey. The Western Division has been so tough this year... I think the Rangers will have their hands full regardless of who wins. Sure would like to see my Blackhawks get back to the Finals... But either way, it's been a great series.

Congrats to the Kings!!.....I was pulling for Chicago but having a west coast team in the final is not all bad news. It would have been nice if they had a scored the O.T winner on a little nicer shot, but 'in' is 'in' either way.
Now, I've got to figure out who to push for in the Stanley Cup Round.
Also: What is wrong with this site in terms of problems accessing and posting????? It seems that several times I have tried to access the forum it is 'down' for some reason and I swear this site has become the slowest site on the web? Half the time its getting to the point its not worth trying to post lately.
Is this going to get better or worse?....just stating what I'm findin here.
My two bits.

Congrats to the Kings ... and BP, hang in there, we are waiting for vBulletin to make the necessary changes so we will be back in business and on the "Improving" stage again. It stinks waiting on someone else and having it "Out of your hands!" Hopefully all will get cleared up soon and we can resume normal conditions!

In that series there was no winner or loser.....just survivors.
How is the final series possibly going to measure up to that?

Kings looked tired in the first period. Dominated the 3rd period(20-3 SOG) even though they didn't score. Was fun to watch and see the difference between the Rangers and the Hawks.

Scouting report on Lundqvist was go high and that is what the Kings did.

Go Kings Go

.......yep, the ol' Rangers are sure on the ropes now.
I was pulling a little more for the Rangers but there is a lot to like about the Kings. I've always been a big fan of the Sutters, and they are great as coaches (Darryl, Brent, etc). Now we have to figure out how to get Doughty traded to a different team....LOL.

Last night was the first time the Kings played well for 3 entire periods.

Doughty is a smart player, at least most of the time. Tries to get to fancy at some times. That hooking penalty he took last night saved a possible goal.

Rangers haven't scored in 110 minutes.

It's not over till it's over though!

Quick was amazing last night. Hope Rangers can put some passed him and make game 4 a good one.
