Amazing stat.

..... but in how many instances has this happened?

 

[lvjordan238]

^5 before the Kings. Montreal in 68' and 76 were the only ones to go on to win the Cup. The others were EDM 83', DET 95', PIT 08'.

Rangers looked way too good in the third today

Devils own fault, they should have had a better push on their PP's in the second period. Wasted opportunities.

You Ducks fans are going to be extremely salty if the Kings win it all

 

[sosly]

^ Yes- living a city away from Anaheim, so I would not enjoy seeing Kings win it.

 

[lvjordan238]

Only a little salty. If they win the cup congrats to them. Only took them 45 years. I'll just block the image out of my head of Brown hoisting the cup. Plus, as I've said before, better them than the Wings or Sharks.

 

[DownByLaw]

No intensity from the Kings today, it's a shame they didn't finish Phoenix off.

Rangers robbed jersey yesterday. We played soooooo bad the first 2 periods. I was shocked we won that game. We haven't been up 3-1 the entire series so I doubt we win tomorrow. Gotta make it hard on ourselves.

I'm honestly gonna miss Marty when he retires. He just so damn good.

Wack suspension on prust.. shouldve been a fine only. One of our best PK guys

hope we can pull it out and make it 3-1

 

[DeadsetAce]

looking forward to tonight's game

 

[duba169]

Of course prust gets suspended off a play that didn't even result in a penalty

Shannahan is all over that place. Torts being a prick doesn't seem to help

 

[scuse7]

I've been on vacation but caught the Kings play almost every night...and they looked dominant.

I really can't wait to see New Jersey or New York play them.

If anything, there being no call on the elbow contributes to there being a suspension.

The DPS has always considered whether or not a play was adequately penalized before assessing supplemental discipline.

How should it have not been a suspension? The refs missed the call but it was a just suspension IMO.

[duba169]

Weber, sure...Ovechkin's hit was a penalty IN game (and EVERYONE outside of NYC agreed) and didn't warrant +@@$ you homer

 

[duba169]

I don't get how it being called a penalty is better

So a ref messed up... Therefore prust gets suspended? If they called it a penalty he wouldn't have been suspended?

I didn't think it was a crazy hit but whatever.

Haven't taken a 3-1 lead in either round so I doubt it happens tonight. But let's see.

 

[duba169]

Rangers love sleepwalking in the first. Look bad again

 

[hymen man]

Yeah they look terrible.
edit: So next games on Wednesday?

 

[mez 0ne]

Always gotta do it the hard way.
