HellOnICE Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I don't know what to think in terms of who would be the better matchup. Let's just hope LA and Gaborik get the Cup. LA has scored a ton. My feeling is the Rangers will need their top scorers to actually score and they haven't all playoff. It's hard to keep that going. They'll need more from Richards, Nash. We'll see. Let's hope.

eldon Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Wow terrific hockey. My new fave players for next series: Quick, Kopitar, Gaborik, Doughty, Brown, whoever TF Toffoli is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grcenter47 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 i am curious to see the ratings of this final since these are both big market teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) i am curious to see the ratings of this final since these are both big market teams LA is not a big ratings market for the NHL. So far the ratings coming from LA locally in the playoffs have not been good. For example, NBA games that include teams not even close to LA have done significantly larger ratings than Kings games in LA. I expect that to continue in the Cup Finals. On the other hand, Chicago is a ratings juggernaut. Chi/NYR would be the NHL's dream matchup. The NY/LA matchup might have national intrigue though. Just read that Kenny Albert will be calling Game 1 of the Finals as there has been a death in Doc's family.

BlueSkirt Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Ugh, the Rags get the only team that has played more games than them! I still think the big Kings are a better matchup for Devils fans hoping that the Rags will lose (that's all of us, right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzMB30 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yes, Quick's stats are not up to par, but you all are missing the the fact that Quick has face more shots than anyone in the playoffs....Quick has faced almost 80 more shots than Lundquist. Is it the team bailing Quick out? Or maybe the Kings suck at defense. Yes, SV% is a huge part of the argument, but its difficult for a goalie to maintain a high SV% when he faces a high volume of shots every night and Quick has made some amazing saves in the Chicago series, despite his shoddy SV%, one stop on the Hawks on a big chance very late in the 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kings just went through the gauntlet of San Jose, Anaheim, Chicago. Not a shocker that they faced the most shots of those 4 Conference Finals teams since they played the most games against the toughest teams. It's really a non-story.

Or maybe LA has played more games than everyone else, thus more shots Or maybe Quick has been below average for awhile and largely average in his career Or maybe Quick is forced to make amazing saves because he is often out of position LA has pretty much dragged Quick through the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick's also played one more game and a bunch of OT's. The Rangers have had two short OT's in the entire playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 If I were a Kings fan, I'd just be over the moon. The prospect of playing the Rangers just seems too good to be true; they are without a doubt the easiest and weakest opponent LA will have faced this entire playoffs, without a doubt. I just hope they can cash in. Knowing the Rangers luck this year, a flu bug hits the team locker room or some ridiculous sh!t like that.

DJ Eco Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 NBC grabbing and running with every chance to mention or show a 94 highlight. Fvck off already. Yeah what the fvck was up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah what the fvck was up with that? Guess they couldn't find any clear 1940 footage. Slim pickins. Also, the 1994 Cup apparently was more important than any Cup won before or after it. There's a special '94 Cup somewhere made of pure gold that proves it I'm sure.

DJ Eco Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 But correct me if I'm wrong, but there've been other Conference Finals game 7 OTs right??? I don't understand the significance of using that clip other than a Rangers fan in the production studio just having his way?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
