How is MLB anymore exciting to watch on TV I have never learned...NHL is a great sport to watch, its just patience is required as its not a constant shootout

There's also a reason why math and science lag behind. What's your point?

I was really hoping the Rangers were going to make it.

Good Luck to NJ. I may not be a fan but I'll cheer for my adopted hometown.

SI has a blog saying that statistically speaking, this is the worst Stanley Cup final ever. Since the Kings were #8 from the west, and the Devils were #6 in the east. They were also respectively number 13 and 9 in the league overall.

But, that's why the game is played, why playoffs are cool, and why the BCS can go to hell.

Rowsdower! · 05-28-2012, 11:23 AM

I don't care who wins, I'm just glad all the a**holes are gone (the Rangers, the Flyers and the Caps... well, not the whole Caps team, just Ob**chkin).

If you look at seeds alone maybe, but these are two hot teams with two great goalies in the two biggest media markets in North America.

I don't have a horse in this race but as a hockey fan I'm really looking forward to the finals starting on Wednesday night.

runawayboulder · 05-28-2012, 07:14 PM

The top seeds in the NHL playoff always seem to go down early. I don't think it's that big a deal.

Scrandy Randy · 05-30-2012, 10:17 PM

Kopitarrrrr

Matt · 05-30-2012, 10:22 PM

Great game one. Flipping back and forth between this and the basketball game was exhausting though. Luckily that last goal happened during a time out of the basketball game (IT IS TEH CONSPIRACY!!!!) so I managed to catch it. Beautiful goal.

Raiden · 05-30-2012, 10:22 PM

Woot! Go Kings!

ih8nyy · 05-30-2012, 10:34 PM

That was a beauty of a goal. Good game.

runawayboulder · 05-30-2012, 10:44 PM

That was a good game. These teams are matched up very well.

Poeman · 05-30-2012, 11:04 PM

Kopitar special right there...It was sick

The Incredible Hulk · 05-31-2012, 08:26 AM

Fun game although you could tell both teams were playing tight early on. Devils missed some wide open nets, and the Kings basically scored on themselves off of their own d-man's face.

Sucks that we have two days off now before Game 2.

Poeman · 05-31-2012, 09:45 AM

Lidstrom retiring today...Great player

The Incredible Hulk · 05-31-2012, 10:56 AM

20 seasons, all with the same team. Incredible.

Anyone want to bet where Suter signs this summer?

Vancouver! ... I wish, not gonna happen

Themanofbat · 05-31-2012, 04:52 PM

Bob Hartley's the new coach in Calgary... same style as Daryll Sutter... they need to get young blood on the ice... hopefully Feaster has a plan...

Yeah, trade Iginla to the Rangers. Thats the plan.

Themanofbat · 05-31-2012, 06:09 PM

Iggy would be a much better fit in Pittsburgh...

The Incredible Hulk · 06-01-2012, 08:44 AM

well the Rangers do make a habit of getting guys on the wrong side of 30 and offering them way too much money, so it isnt completely out of the realm of possibility.
