I feel the need...
It will only be fitting if its the Devils/Yotes finale, two teams that nobody outside their respective city's 50 mile radius cares about.
Because its the count

This is what is interesting. (to me) 3 of four remaining teams are from CITIES I have lived/live in.
What about the disallowed goal?
Anyone else think Holtby was not as solid as in all the previous games?
He was good but shaky imho.

Did you see the series? Game 7?
He was a wall. He was sharp and dialed in. He allowed virtually no rebounds. Last night he allowed many second and third shots and just did not seem as strong as the preceding games.

From TSN...Sounds like Bryz can't take the pressure. Um, comes with the $$$$ contract, bub. Suck it up.
Though he did not make himself available to local reporters on Thursday, Philadelphia Flyers netminder Ilya Bryzgalov freely spoke his mind to a Russian newspaper about being the latest hometown goalie to face the city's wrath.
"What I lived through this season I wouldn't wish to an enemy," he told Natalia Bragilevskaya of SovSport in an interview tranlsated by Philly.com. "I need to keep working. I understand the fans. They paid their money and want the show. But many forget that we are not robots, but living people. We have feelings, worries."
The Flyers were eliminated in five games by the New Jersey Devils in the second round of the NHL playoffs despite dispatching the Cup-contending Pittsburgh Penguins in the previous round.
Bryzgalov faced criticism for his play throughout the playoffs. The Flyers were able to outslug the Penguins in the first round despite the Russian goalie posting a series save percentage of just .886.
In the second round, however, Bryzgalov was better, posting a .910 save percentage. But the Flyers were unable to score at the same rate against the defensively-sound Devils managing just over two goals per game in their four consecutive losses to finish the series.
"I got very tired this season, to be honest," he said. "Now I know what it's like to be a goaltender in Philadelphia. Maybe from the outside it looks like there's nothing to it. You only realize it on your own."
The Flyers have gone through a myriad of options in net over the past two decades of playoff hockey. Since the team traded former Conn Smythe-winner Ron Hextall in 1992, the team has tried numerous options in net without anyone becoming the game-breaker needed to take the last step to winning the Stanley Cup.
Goaltenders like Michael Leighton, Sergei Bobrovsky, Brian Boucher and Ray Emery all had a crack at the Flyers' starting job before the team shelled out big money - $51 million over nine years - to lure the former Coyotes standout to town.
While Bryzgalov's play was sound throughout the regular season, posting a 33-16-7 record with a .909 save percentage and six shutouts, but he still felt the pressure in such a hockey-mad market.
"It is difficult" he said. "My face is everywhere. Everyone is talking about me: 'Bryzgalov played well.' 'Philadelphia won, but Bryz made a mistake again.' 'Yes, he wasn't scored against but could have been.'"
He stressed in the interview that he was human, but in a market like Philadelphia understanding may be hard to come by.
"Who doesn't make mistakes?" he asked. "How many [pucks] did I catch before then? But very few notice that. People are so concentrated on the negative that they only see the bad in me. But I think you need to be kinder to each other."

The sizzle in the Steak
Conrats to the Rangers.
The sizzle in the Steak
Kings came out in the first and did exactly what they were supposed to do.
Dominated the entire ice.
We saw the brief return of Mr. Softie....but Quick bounces back strong from poor games/goals. He had an excellent 3rd period.
Kings had 48 SOG. So many of those didn't go in because of how great Smith was in goal.....the 2 goals that Phoenix scored were basically handed to them by Quick.
Game realistically could have been 6-0 Kings.
I can't believe Tippet played the "nuclear option" on his team at the press conference and basically rained a sh!t cloud on his team. I like Tippet a lot, but is game 1 really the best time to throw your team under the bus?
Props to Sutter....guy is getting it done.
Brownie is a beast!
