Bay 2,003 Posted May 27, 2014 We're coming back. Don't doubt you can. Just note... this Kings team is not that loser Red Wing squad from last season they came back against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJORN 679 Posted May 27, 2014 I just don't see Chicago winning a 7 game series against the Kings. Thought they would have to get it done in 5 or 6. The Kings absolutely destroy your defenseman over a series like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bay 2,003 Posted May 29, 2014 Don't you find I talk about it too much Been literally watching Hockey for almost 8 months, every Avalanche game, a huge amount of games via game center and now the playoffs. My love for the sport will never change bros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piggly Wiggly 960 Posted May 30, 2014 Honestly, I'd be alright if my two favorite teams never met again in a playoff series. It was super awkward, really. Never really got to cheer much lol. I'm excited that the Rangers are going to the SCF, but on the other hand I'm a sad cunt that the Habs' great run is over. Epic goaltender duel tonight, tho. Hank was amazing and Tokarski put on an absolutely sick performance. Really hope Tokarski is Price's heir apparent. Dude was just unreal for how inexperienced he was. Knew he was going to be special when I watched him make a spot start in Anaheim back in February. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The season needs to be cut back a LOT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badgers 380 Posted May 31, 2014 Well it's 3:50 AM and I can't sleep because I was reading too many scary stories god dammit but what a great game last night. Early in the series we were fucking up bad, the Kings were steamrolling us and everybody I knew was flipping out saying series was lost. I had a gut feeling we'd kick it into high gear, and we thankfully did. And even more thankfully, we were able to continue that high level of play in LA. It's black and white difference the play we're getting from our guys, from games 2-4 compared to 5-6. The dudes are flying all over the ice, contesting almost every shot, sacrificing their bodies to make blocks, and moving the puck better. Though our passes over the middle are still a bit careless at times. Crawford seems to be back on the horse after rough 3 games. Just glad the road to the cup goes through Chicago and not LA. It's an even series now and I think we got a bit of momentum. Hopefully we can pull it out I'd love to play against Lundqvist for the championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badgers 380 Posted June 2, 2014 Well whatever. I don't really like either of the teams remaining. Got kinda sick of these announcers though. I know it's a weird thing to complain about but I've never listened to a bunch of morons talk about the Kings' "resiliency" and their mental toughness and what have you more than this. What "resiliency"? If anything Chicago was more resilient. We fought back a 3-1 deficit to take it to 7 games. The Kings just showed lack of ability to close out the series twice. It's like they had no idea about the sport they were announcing for other than the basic rules, so they just talked about what the producers wanted over, and over, and over, instead of coming up with their own thoughts. Go Rangers I guess. LA won it recently enough so I'd rather someone else did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bay 2,003 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) The Kings wouldn't even be in the Final had it not been them overcoming a 0-3 hole, lol. FIRST TEAM EVER to win 3 road game 7s in a single postseason. I know your're upset so I'll give you a break. Edited June 2, 2014 by Bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted June 2, 2014 I know everyone is treating the Kings like clear favorites, but 21 games is gonna tire them out. I think it'll be a close series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted June 2, 2014 Why are people counting out the Rangers so easily? Lundqvist is a lot more of a challenge than lolCrawford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradyFan81 404 Posted June 2, 2014 I'm taking the Kings in 6. Just think they have such a sound system and the road they've taken to the Finals is incredibly tough. Sharks, Ducks, Blackhawks is an insane road to survive. That'd be a huge disappointment for the Kings to lose now against a team who played the Flyers in round 1 (Flyers were missing their goalie for the 1st 3 games of the series right?), Penguins in round 2 (pretty impressive), and the Canadiens (had just won their Stanley Cup by beating the Bruins + didn't have Price for the ENTIRE series). So basically I'm picking the Kings because I know the Blackhawks are wayyyy better than the Rangers and the Kings just beat the Blackhawks so they must be able to beat the Rangers. Quick's been pretty inconsistent since the 2012 run so hopefully he can hold his own this series. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know your're upset so I'll give you a break. I understood what they were talking about. I just felt that the announcers wouldn't stop talking about how good the Kings were. They didn't seem a whole lot better than the Blackhawks to me, except during games 2-4. I think we actually out played them this series, in games 1 and 5-7.
