With the Kings going to two game sevens, having a couple of days off, as a fan, feels like forever.

Yumcha

Expect another tight/close game...

I'm not writing off the East but of the 4 teams left standing, I'd say the West is a step above in depth/skill...Kinda too bad this is not the Cup Finals.

Moog-Type-S

Too bad the Bruins failed.

At least the teams out of the West playing the Bruins would have been a competitive finals.

Rangers or Habs....





...Gonna be an interesting Game 2 in the West tonight.

You are aware just because you type & post it that does not make it written in stone right?

In the playoffs anything can happen. You know that first hand seeing as the Kings who were dismissed out of hand won.

The Prior 5 years Bell Center was an auto loss for the Rangers & Montreal was 80% loss. They were embarrassed the last two games.

Because the cup ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!

Great movie.

The count has already hatched his evil plan to bring forth the almighty 7 game finals of Showtime versus the Knickerbockers for big market television ratings glory.

Yumcha

Of course. Stranger things have happened...but, on paper and match-up-wise, I don't think the winner of the Habs/Rangers series can win 4 times out of 7 against the winner of the Kings/Hawks.

But, lots of variables...injuries, hot goalie, bad bounces/calls...



If you want to play conspiracy theorist, the NHL would likely favor a winner from the East anyhow.

Moog-Type-S

The Count is Evil....very evil.

I am not saying who will win either series let alone the cup, it just seems hilarious the way Mr. Moog opines as if it were fact.

I am certainly not suggesting any conspiracies, the NHL has a hard enough time with the schedule.

Moog-Type-S

Kings have a better record this year against the Habs & Rags than the Blackhawks.

Facts are facts.

Moog-Type-S

...and let's put it this way:

Hawks fans would rather play Rags or Habs versus playing the Kings.

Same goes for Kings fans...Rags and Habs easier route than the Blackhawks.

Yumcha

Yup. Again no disrespect meant to the remaining Eastern teams. But neither possess the depth and overall team D LA has.

Fact: regular season has as much to do with post season as sunspot activity.

Fact teams that should win lose & the opposite is true.

Moog-Type-S

Don't be such a dolt.

Moog-Type-S

The depth and resilience of the Hawks & Kings, is exactly why they are meeting again in the Conference Finals.

Both teams have been to the top of the mountain recently, and still have the core of players who got them there playing today.

Habs and Rags....not so much.

Kings squeaked into the 8th seed, & on great timely play won the cup when no one expected it.

Fact?

None of that matters, the rags have Kreider of Boxford MA, he's not waiting for next year, he will kill you where you stand.

Facts & Odds.

You can play the "00" on the roulette wheel too.

It comes up once in a blue moon.

The odds however, are not in your favor.

You keep responding like I am saying the Rangers are going to win the cup.

I am not. I'll be thrilled & shocked if they do.

Rangers in 4

Hawks in 5

Fact: the second you put any money on the roulette table, the odds are not in your favor.

Odds: 1:1 that you are a sucker if you play roulette.

Blue moon: roughly once every 38 spins.

How was Finland?

Like bacon wrapped in waffles wrapped in bacon swimming in maple syrup, same as always. Me and Lucic kicked some puppies and stole some food from starving Norwegian orphans.

BTW, I am rooting Kings. (until they play the Rangers) I lived in L.A. from 1976-2002, they have always been my secondary team & I have seen more games at the Forum than any other arena.

Looks like that wining streak is ending.

Well, that was a laugher for the Kings.

Let's now see if Hawks can push back for Game 3.

What did Norway ever do to anybody?

What is the point in a 5-2 game pulling the goalie?

black label

nothing but, you know, fuck Norway.

Btw, the puppies were of the cute adorable variety, they weren't those crappy ugly Canadian puppies you're familiar with.

Furthermore... Being a huge fan of the price is right and former host Bob Barker, Looch used his special skills to neuter all the male puppies free of charge.

Yumcha

To let LA score the 6. Duh.

Moog-Type-S

I don't think anyone was expecting that kind of a game.

Kings only showed up to play the third period, but what a third period it was!

The fluke goal off of Williams near the end of the 2nd opened the floodgates...hockey's weird like that.

Anyhow, let's see what the Hawks are made of in LA.
