Stanley Cup

[Pappy13]

Blackhawks fan here. The best thing about being a Hawks fan right now is just being able to enjoy the games. I never get too high or too low watching them these days. Win or lose, it neither makes my day or destroys it. That's a luxury that I just don't have watching the Dolphins and I miss that feeling. That's how it was back in the 80's with Marino, even when they lost it was almost always fun to watch. I hope those days will come back to Miami soon.

Carey Price is out for the ECF with a leg injury suffered when Chris Kreider skated into him. It was an accident, but no Canadien wants to hear it and if the same thing happened to Henrik, no Ranger fan would want to either.

Habs backup goalie sucks, so they brought up their AHL goalie. Seems like a solid prospect and this may be their best option. Tthe backup goalie has all the pressure, especially since he is one of the worst playoff goalies of alltime. But this rookie? Who cares? No pressure, no expectations.

Looks like the pressure got to him.  Rangers now have won two games in the Bell Centre.  Can they close it out at MSG?

Losing Price is the end of the series.  He was their whole team.  Just seems like, as terrible as Budaj has been (I thought he used to be decent), the series is over without Price.

I wonder why the Habs can't go out and sign someone off the street.  How does that work?  A guy like Tim Thomas is technically a free agent now but is playing in IIHF Worlds - he could be useful to a team like Montreal right now.  I guess technically he's still under contract with the Stars...?

I thought the kid did fine. The first goal was a deflection and I don't feel that any goalie should be blamed for a 90 MPH redirection. The second goal was a 3 on 2 rush and a beautiful shot. The 3rd was a PP goal where he was screened. The kid made some really good saves.

The real problem was with his teammates. In addition to the only goal they scored being knocked in by Henrik himself, they negated 2 power plays with stupid retaliation penalties, constantly took dives and abandoned their gameplan from the first period. They dominated the first period, despite being down 2-1. Then, they decided to take dives and stupid penalties and basically just go "Woe is me". Even PK Subban, one of the better players in the league punched a Ranger right in front of the ref leading to a PP goal. After the game, even their coach blamed the loss on the refs. Once you go down that road, it's hard to come back.

The Rangers are a better team because of Henrik, but they aren't that much better where they outscore you 10-3 on your own home ice. I hope the series is over in 4, but I think the layoff will clear Montreal's heads.

^^ I don't want to see a sweep, but I couldn't be too upset if the Habs lose.  I hate them, a lot.  Except for Mike Weaver

Carey Price is a vagina.

This is all.

Looks like you were right. Both games at The Garden have been decided in OT.  They split it. Back to Montreal with the Rangers holding a 3-1 lead.  It's gonna be tough to close it out. Always is.

Rangers going to the Finals. Ryan Callahan's agent is going to get fired for not taking the Rangers ludicrously high offer before they traded him. Good luck getting 7 Years/$49 Million now.

Tonight's game is going to be madness.  I am really looking forward to watching... 

If its anything like Game 5 was, I'll be glued to the couch.

[EDGECRUSHER]

If any team can win Game 7 on the road to go to the Finals, it's the Kings, but I still think they are in trouble if they don't put it away tonight.

[Pappy13]

Biggest thing working against the Kings right now is that Kane is in the zone. If that continues in game 7, Kings don't have much chance.
