Go Rags, and Go Stars.

It'd be especially great to see Dallas win again, since I really want to see Hanta Yo Baby's (Ron Wilson) post game conference this time around (I missed the last one). He always looks like a deer in headlights when he does these, and I love seeing him trying to cover his tracks and explain himself for yet another playoff loss.

I hope the Sharks keep that idiot around for years to come. Not only is he a terrible coach, who will continue to screw up that team year after year after year, but he's funny as hell to look at when he loses. His face makes me want to burst out into laughter when I see him behind the bench. He looks like a ghost on drugs. He shows no emotion, and he always has that blank, one-directional stare. It's classic!

Plus, he also provided all of us with, what I describe as, pure comedic genius - his famous "Hanta Yo Baby!" motivational speech. I hope he comes up with another in this current series against Dallas, since it'll probably get him another 4-game sweep. Whatever the case, it'll be fun to laugh at anyways.

id like to actually see the Pens lose a game for once. since they should have lost game one...

You can blame the Rags horrid defense for that (plus Lundqvist was MIA for the last half of the game).

Really, though, it's their defense that'll kill them. I think Marc Staal will be a great defenseman in years to come, but he isn't now. And after him, who else is there? Fedor Tyutin? Michal Rozsival? If you're asking those guys to play top-4 minutes, then trouble alooms for sure. That's like asking Lilja to play top-4 minutes; and we all know what happens then.

One guy that I'm really disappointed in on the Rags is Paul Mara. I used to think this guy was a great defenseman, and in the past, I was pining for the Wings to get him. He's big (6'5, 220 pounds), and can put up a lot of points on the PP (well, at least he could in Phoenix). Ever since he was traded to Boston and eventually New York, though, his career has really fallen off. He looks really terrible out there, which is surprising, because he played good on a bad team like Phoenix. He's become as much a fan favorite in New York as perennial stiff Marek Malik, who hasn't been in their lineup since trilobites last swam our oceans.

The Rags have a lot of offense, but they have no defense to speak of. They need Lundqvist to basically steal this series. Nothing less will help them advance.

You're right, on one hand, KP. But the Rangers' defence is much improved over last year. Watching the series last year against the Sabres, the Rangers' defence looked perpetually slow and out of position. I'm not seeing the same thing so far this year.
