Knew Henrik would steal at least a game, good showing by the Rags

Oooo...Brad Doty is pretty cocky...I wonder if the Rangers will use that as bulletin material?
On Wednesday, puck luck finally wore blue. With a chance to sweep the Blueshirts and hoist Lord Stanley's Cup at Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles played a dominant game, outshooting the hosts 42-19, but ended up on the short end of a 2-1 loss. But instead of crediting Henrik Lundqvist's 40-save effort, they dwelled on a slow start, missed opportunities and a few unlucky bounces. "We easily could have won that game," said defenseman Drew Doughty. "We just didn't bear down at the right time. It's not like they had any great opportunities or anything like that, so we're not worried about it." ... Doughty, when talking about going home, even took a shot at the surface of the World's Most Famous Arena. "We're at Staples Center, we're on good ice. We're looking forward to it."

Missed the good ice part. That why everyone was falling for no reason? Good ice????
I am glad they are rationalizing, that is good.

Kinda makes you (and obviously the Rangers) lament what if they were able to hold onto ONE of those leads, hey?
It's really unfortunate because...when you reach the Cup Final...you're THAT close...and being down 3-0 in the series...there is almost no margin for any error.
The flavor would be so freaking different if NY won one game in LA.

And although Moog will have you believe, since he loves putting words in my mouth, that I'm BITTER...I actually have no preference who wins this series.
I'm just watching as a fan of the sport and want a long series for obvious entertainment value reasons.

Wow, that's impressive. Seriously.
I think the earliest 1990. Of course, the most vivid memory was how your Pens absolutely schooled the President's Trophy winner Hawks in 1992...I did not know heaps about the intricacies of hockey plays and match-ups but on regular season alone, I thought the Hawks would've swept the Pens. Boy, was I (and Chicago) in for a surprise.
That was the year Jagr schooled the entire Hawks D on one of his greatest goals...I remember where I was...at home and with my mouth dropped wide open...with popcorn in it...as Jagr went around the whole team and made it 4-2. Cue Pens comeback in that game.

Belfour still had one of the best masks...ever with the eagles. 
And the way he played...his butterfly...it looked so cool. At least for a young kid like me back then.
But, Moog will say I'm on the bong and that Quick has the greatest mask ever.

Yeah, his masks back in the day were awesome
As much as I hate the flyers, I liked Mason's zombie mask, and I don't even watch Walking Dead.

I remember when Emile F.00ker took 1/2 the team to St. Louis. there were banners in the Garden. The Cat is a rat, Burke is a jerk. Bring back fast Eddie & the Turk.
Sanderson was the Turk Eddie Giacomin, my favorite childhood goalie was fast Eddie.
We had no prospect of cups back then but we loved the team.

I was a Hawks fan in 92. JR was my favorite player.

What's worse, a team not winning because the owner is cheap ala Wertz and the old Jacobs guy in Beantown. Or a team not winning because everyone in the organization is inept?

And all-time stupid trade...worst than giving away Rask? Trading Hasek. Sure, Belfour was around and a good goalie...but, how can you not give the Dominator a chance in Chicago to see who was better?

GMs back Competition Commitee recommendations
Colin Campbell, the NHL's Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations, stressed that embellishment is a problem in the League that needs to be corrected.
He said the recommendation from the GMs will be to change the wording of the current rule regarding embellishment to allow for warnings and an escalating scale of fines to be imposed for repeat offenders rather than suspensions, which are currently allowed under Rule 64.3 but rarely imposed by the League.
Campbell also said that a fine could be imposed on the coach or the organization of a player who is repeatedly penalized for embellishment.
"It's not about taking a player out of the game; it's about making everybody aware that this player does embellish," Campbell said. "More than that it's about the players who don't embellish that ask the question, 'Should I start embellishing now because I'm on an uneven playing field here, they're getting calls because they embellish?' "
In addition, Campbell said embellishment plays would be reviewed in the Situation Room in Toronto for supplemental discipline. A player would be subject to a warning or fines for embellishment regardless of whether he was issued a minor penalty on the ice.
"It got a lot of traction, a lot of support from the managers that embellishment is going too far in our League and we have to attack it again," Campbell said.
