^ They had one in Sergei Bobrovsky, they just didn’t realize it and traded him away. Although I would prefer “Bob”, I’m not uncomfortable going into next year with Mason in goal. Hextall needs to find some way to dump Lecavalier and Coburn so he can have some money to spend.
BTW, Roman Cechmanek was pretty good.
Bump. Sorry about Price. NYR advance.
Even with Price they would have lost. The “goal scorers” on the team didn’t show up for the playoffs. When you depend on Rene Bourque and your defence men to score, you aren’t gonna beat Lunkquist.
The Rangers were the better team for 4 games out of the 6. The final result was reflective of that.
i think either of the west teams chi/la will beat the rags
How wonderful it is to be a Flyers fan. Either Carter and Richards get a 2nd cup since being dumped, or the f’ing Rangers get it. Can we get another lockout starting tomorrow?

How about Columbus? They had Nash, Carter and Gaborik. Go KIngs. It has not been easy to be a Kings fan this Srping. But good so far.
That Kings team is a resilient group. 7-0 in elimination games this spring. They never led in Game 7 yet end up winning.
BTW, the Kings are the only team in NHL history to win three 7 game series to reach the final. That’s a lot of hockey this time of year. If they lose, it will either be because they run out of gas or have an emotional letdown, or both. On paper, they are the superior team playing in a vastly superior conference.
I attended the first game the Kings ever played, in the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, CA.
I was pleased as could be when they finally won the Stanley Cup. I’ll be even more jazzed when they do it again this year.
^ Don’t take it for granted.
Toronto hasn’t won since '67.
Phily since '75.
NYR once in the last 75 years.
Once the window of opportunity closes, it can remain closed for the rest of your lifetime. Just ask a Cubs fan.
^ there are no Cubs fans alive who have seen them win the World Series.
A Red Sox fan born in 1920 had to wait until he was 84 years old to finally witness his team win a championship. His great grandson has already seen 3 Red Sox championships and he is only in his 20s. You think he can relate?!
Rangers got screwed by the goalie interference no-call in game 2. Exciting series otherwise.
^ Agreed. Bad call for sure.
Watch tonight the Rangers will run Quick and there will be no call. And if the Kings so much as breath in the blue paint, look for an interference. I have seen worse no-calls, including the butt-end that Doughty received.
Kings will tighten up things defensively. They better or they will pay the price. They are not built for 5-4 games. They played two poor games by their standards and still got wins. That does not bode well for the blue shirts.
The Kings did not lead for a single second in this series yet they are up 2-0.
In fact, the Kings also didn’t lead for a single second in Game 7 and won that game. That’s 3 games in a row where the Kings were never in the lead during the game and still won. Now that is impressive.
They’re in the lead now. Not looking good for the Rangers.
Naturally when I have money on the Rangers they decide not to show up.
