How do you feel about the Los Angeles Kings going to the Stanley Cup Finals?

[Squeeven]

I want to see New York win. I like parity. Also, Hernik is handsome, he deserves it. Too bad they're getting swept or finished in 5.

Not that I can see the Rangers coming back and winning 4 straight games, getting by the Kings' rock solid D and especially Quick but we all thought it was over when we were up 3-0, its not over til its over. I'm not saying I think the Rangers will come back I'm just saying that of all people we are the fans right now that can't say a series is over when you're up 3-0.

I looking for a similar thread on the Anaheim board. If you're SJ, ANA, or CHI, you feel this was the cup that got away. As a Ducks fan, I've decided that the next game I attend will be a SCF potential clinching.

I expect Anaheim's attendance and ratings to take a dive this coming season, too. The combination of LA winning the Cup and failing to live up to expectations will doom the franchise until they win again.

It's over. It was over before they dropped the puck for game 1. Rangers had no chance. When you're icing Dan Carcillo in the playoffs, you're just nowhere near the same level as the Kings.

Carcillo has been suspended. He hasn't played yet in this series.

And I agree with you that they had no chance. I didn't think the east winner had any chance against either LA or Chicago.

Blowing a 3-0 games lead to the eventual Stanley Cup champions HURTS! ... It could have been us!

no way patty and joe could lead us past chicago

Assuming the Sharks would have won the Cup because we were one game from beating LA is extrapolating a favourable view in the most extreme.

This team has won 1 playoff round in the past 3 years. Little optimistic, right?

I know he was suspended, but he was getting playing time in the playoffs up until he got suspended. When you're icing goons, you just aren't good enough.

Plus there's no way they would've come back from multiple two-goal deficits in the Finals.

 

[OffSydes]

I'm more upset that they won the Eastern Conference

Wow. I didn't even realize that Vancouver is the only team we beat in the playoffs in THREE YEARS.

 

[zombie kopitar]

nah Spurs got this. but yeh **** this. Nothing would make me happier to see the Rangers come back, but I'm not holding my breath.

do I get an honorary snog for that
at least it wasn't the Heat and the Kings

It's one thing to beat the Rangers for the cup but strip them of their conference championship? Now that's just low.
