You'd almost think Bettman was a weasely little lawyer from the way he acts. Oh wait..... :lol:

 

hahaha, when I called him "little" I didn't even realize he's a tiny pixie of an ambulance chaser - like 5' 5" or 5' 6"

 

We need an R. Lee Ermey to ask him how tall he is - if he says 5' 6" then of course - "5' 6"??? I didn't know they stacked ###### that high!" LOL

Who'd pay $8,600 to see a hockey game? http://cnnmon.ie/1h5u5K5

thing about gotham is, there are 1000s of people there for whom dropping $10K on a hockey ticket is no big whoop.

 

mind you, those people all deserve to die a slow and painful death. but they're there just the same.

The Rangers are surprisingly good at forward:

 

Stepan-Kreider-Nash

Richards-St Louis-Hagelin

Brassard-Zuccarello-Pouliot

Boyle-Moore-Dorsett/Carcillo

 

Their top 4 on D are also quite good:

 

McDonagh-Girardi (NB Mirtle wrote today that McDonagh substantially outplayed PK Subban in the 3rd round)

Staal-Stralman

 

And Lundy in net.

 

I'm not saying they're going to win, but they could, and I think it will be a very competitive series.

 

Does a Rangers Cup victory change how fans will look at Glen Sather? He has been a target of jokes and ridicule over the years.

 

Definitely. I've been thinking the same thing.

Klein isn't a bad 5/6 d-man to have, either.

Marian Gaborik (12 seasons, age 32)

Tyler Toffoli (1 season, age 22)

Tanner Pearson (1 season, age 21)

Everybody but Martin St. Louis, Brad Richards and Daniel Carcillo.

Nope.

 

Had Kreider not Kreider'd Price, we'd be looking at a 'turning legal' rematch.

 

I actually expect them to win in 6. All things equal, LA is the better team, but Doughty is beat up and they've played a LOT of hard hockey.

Rangers have had the softest road to the final that I can remember in years.

LA has won more recently therefore I must root for the misery to continue for fans of the NYR.

Given the teams that each finals team went through, I think it is no contest who the better team is.

 

LA Kings: beat Sharks in 7, Ducks in 7, Blackhawks in 7

NY Rangers: beat Flyers in 7, Penguins in 7, Habs in 6

 

Can anyone with a straight face tell me that the East coast teams can hold a candle to the West teams?

 

It's LA Kings in this series. Easy. 5 or 6 games.
