2013/2014 NHL Thread: Kings of the Cup

[Pink Ranger]

You hope that's not the case if you're a Kings fan. Kings don't typically fair too well in GoT.

Then again in LOTR, the Ranger became the King so....

Lol, but keep in mind, the crows have had a much higher body count so far. And the kings at least get to have all sorts of crazy sex before they die.

Kings won Game 1!

Yeah Girardi basically handed it over to them didn't he?

Bad pass on his part but it didnt help that his D partner, McDonaugh, had already left the zone looking for an odd man rush.

Rangers were honestly lucky to even have the game go to an OT. You get outshot 20-3 in the 3rd period of a tie playoff game and you don't usually live to tell the tale. Lundqvist can only do so much.

I think that was the one the Rangers could've stolen. I don't know if this series goes more than 5 at this point.

3 more victories!

 

[Hush]

Lundqvist is gonna be the MVP if The Rangers win this.

 

[runawayboulder]

Either him or Ryan McDonagh.

Go kings!!

I'm glad you figured that out. Good for you.

Maybe Bylsma can coach the Canucks. He's good at allowing skilled star players to underperform; underperformance would be a step up from where the Canucks are at right now.

That missed goalie interference call in the 3rd that made it 4-3 was complete B.S.

C'mon, the Rangers were up 2-0 against the Kings and 4-2 later. It's their own fault for not being able to win the game, and not that controversial call. Kings won the game, plain and simple.

I'm not fully blaming the loss on that, the Rangers did plenty to lose the game themselves but it was a bad call at the worst time and changed the momentum of the game.

 

[dodgers2213]

The Kings haven't led at all the entire series lol but that has to change if we want the Cup

That was a BS call...

They have the leads when it counts though....

The Kings are as good as advertised. But the Rangers are really holding their own. You could argue that this could easily be 2-0 going the other way.

You're not going to get an interference call when a player is engaged with a defenseman at the top of the crease.

 

[runawayboulder]

Isn't that the norm though? So how is this play different from any other?

If he's locked up with a defenseman and they're pushing each other and he contacts the goalie unintentionally (like when he's pushed into him) it's not goaltender interference.

It's only if he purposely makes contact with the goalie in the crease and impedes him from stopping the puck.

 

[runawayboulder]

That's what they were saying on the NBC and MSG post games but I didn't see McDonagh do enough to force the interference after watching it 100 times.

 

[Immortalfire]

At the 2nd break, the Rangers are putting up no fight whatsoever.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Looks like this is going to be a short series.

 

[runawayboulder]

Rangers look doneski

So disappointing.

 

[dodgers2213]

One of the Kings more dominant performances in awhile. Shut out, 1 more!
