2013/2014 NHL Thread: Kings of the Cup

[The Incredible Hulk]

Dominant? The Kings were outshot 32-15.

Quick and the Rangers inability to capitalize on the parade of Kings to the penalty box were the reasons the Kings won.


Also the Rangers sliding around on their faces didn't help matters

 

[Hush]

I think a sweep is inevitable. NY, just doesn't have it. LA is too big and strong, the acquisitions of Gaborik and Carter really helped this team talk about finding gems.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Carter has been a King for almost 3 seasons, and they gave up Jack Johnson to get him. Not exactly a "find"

Well thank goodness for that. I didn't want to see the Kings celebrating on the Garden ice.

He is a find when you consider how much he has helped the Kings get to where they are.

Ironically, it may have been the Garden ice that kept the Kings from celebrating in the first place.

Over the past few days, Vigneault has sounded like a coach that doesn't believe his players are as good as the opponent and is more that willing to concede.

Honestly, I'm proud of the Rangers. They have been in a position to win 3 of the 4 games. If things broke a different way, they'd be on the way to LA to try and clinch a cup.

 

[Hush]

Another witty response. Your cleverness clearly knows no bounds.

Tampa Bay Lightning is the best!

Tampa Bay Lightning is the best!

2004 called, it wants it's declaration back.

2004 called... they want to give the Cup to its rightful owner... the Calgary Flames.

Yep, as a Canucks fan, that sounds familiar!

It's New York City, so I guess a bond trader spilled his cocaine there.

Ahhhhh, I see. So this is previously known behavior about the guy...? Oh. Boy.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Tends to kick in when you're in the final round of the playoffs, and you just need to win one game ... one game. Then he's like, "meh."

 

[Pink Ranger]

My overtime picks tonight: Carter for LA, Kreider for NY.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Love me some NHL overtime with the game on the line.

 

[Airnick]

Lets go Rangers!!!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Imagine if you're the LA player who scores the next goal. It doesn't matter how long the rest of your career is, that will be the highlight of your entire career.

Absolutely. It can't get much better than that.

I think it's what every hockey player dreams of. Just like a baseball player hitting a walk off HR to win the World Series, or a basketball player hitting a game winning buzzer beater to win the game.

I think Patrick Kane was the last player to score a GW goal in OT to clinch the Stanley Cup.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

What a fantastic game. Hate it for Ranger fans.


Congrats to the Kings!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Damn, I hope Martinez keeps that puck for the rest of his life.

 

[Dr. Evil]

This has been a fun game.

 

[Airnick]

Damn...

 

[runawayboulder]

Congrats to the Kings and their fans. They were the better team and were as good as advertised.

Bummed about the Rangers but they played their asses off facing elimination. There was no quit in them. Damn fine run they had. Sorry that it didn't end better.
