ECF : Tampa Bay Former Rangers vs. New York New Rangers

[marcaractac 3,962]

Feel so awful for Henrik. The team in front of him can never get it done. Ever.

[chicagooverrated 65]

Bye bye rangers

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

What a showing for the Rangers...

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Pray the Ducks win tomorrow because the Blackhawks will slaughter the Lightning.

Way to go Flippers! Now I know for whom I am rooting to win the Cup.

Flip has won and lost a Cup. I'm sure he is providing them with insight.

I love the handshake line - I think it's one of the very cool things that makes hockey special, but for some reason I'm sitting here wishing someone would throw an elbow.

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Yay a non hockey market team in the finals :/

[Rhah 195]

I am impressed by TBs defense corps. Lot of big bodies. I think they could hold off the Hawks. And they still have offense even while playing solid D.

[marcaractac 3,962]

Bolts would not have too much trouble with the Hawks. Crawford is terrible. Bolts would eat him alive.

Same. He was pissed. Probably mostly at himself, but your def right. He does all he can, and they just can't get it done for him when it counts. I dunno if he ever thinks of moving on and trying to get a cup elsewhere, but he's got 5 or so years left in NY, and doubt the Rags would move him anyways.

It's pretty scary to watch the highest scoring team in the league shut down a game like that. The way they played tonight and in G5, the Hawks or Ducks have very little chance.

Tampa can be inconsistent though, so it'll probably take them 5 games to win the Cup.

[10 Minute Misconduct 104]

Both Chicago and the Ducks are better then Tampa. Dont get fooled because they shut down the Rangers who could barely score this post season. Also won what 10+ games only by 1 goal? Anaheim would be Tampa for sure, Chicago could run out of steam.

Well then.

1/2 of NHL ratings hell is set.

Well if they play solid D in front of Bishop like tonight, then yes. If the D is out to lunch he gets lit up more often than not. He won't steal many games. Then again neither will Crawford or Andersen.

GROOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS

It really sucks for him. Especially considering you got those who think he is basically a nobody because he hasn't won a cup, as if the Stanley Cup is some individual award. The one time he did have a team in front of him, he won gold with half the Wings roster in the 2006 olympics lol

So, it's still true that if your team scores no goals, you don't win. Sorry for Lundqvist.

How come the Blues don't have a goalie like Bishop on their team?

[Rivalred 630]

Blah

[Duck Guy 86]

Well then.

1/2 of NHL ratings hell is set.

Does this mean I can blame every Duck's penalty and goal scored against in Game 7 a conspiracy to take the hawks to the cup finals to save the ratings?

[roboturner 562]

Well, despite losing to them in the 1st round (in game 7 no less) I'm over it by now and I'm still kinda rooting for the Lightning as a second team. Yzerman connection and what not (among other things)...

[STL-Wings 36]

Haha they certainly used to have the man himself.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Hard not to feel bad for Lundqvist.

[amato 3,210]

2-0, 7-6.. same difference. The "king" is dethroned.... Would have been fine with either team winning.

[Rhah 195]

Heard on radio that Mcdonagh was playing on broken foot almost entire playoffs.
