Is the store at MSG decent? I haven't been since 2001 and I don't remember much from that time in NYC  I've got a buddy visiting the city in July so I might have them pick me up something from there.

Rangers are just as lucky to be where they are, and I fully expect LA to win the cup in 5 or 6 games (I predicted 5 in the prediction thread). However, that doesn't mean that LA aren't fortunate to be in the finals as well. In 2012 the Kings were perhaps the most dominant playoff team I can recall, this year that isn't the case.

The Kings aren't going to get respect until they go 16-0 in a playoff against the 84 Oilers, 82 Islanders, the 77 Canadiens, and the 1976 Soviet Olympic team.

Over half of SAS chose LA in 5 or 6 games. Pretty sure SAS was 8/12 in the first two rounds. 0/2 in the conference finals, though.

Sounds about right. Honestly if the weather wasn't so nice here right now I'd say gently caress it and go out to LA for a game. We have an office in W Hollywood so I could probably get my boss to send me out there for the week. Plus I really like LA (as a city, gently caress the loving Kings).

I saw a report somewhere saying that it would be cheaper for a New Yorker to fly to LA, get a room for 2 nights, and a ticket to watch the game here. It reminds me of when the Kings were playing Phoenix in the 2012 WCF, and Kings fans were driving six hours to Jobing.com Arena because they couldn't even sell out to the home crowd and the tickets were heavily deflated. It was less of a pain in the rear end, to spend half a day on the road, than it was to find tickets to the games at Staples. I kinda miss the days when it was $30 to get into the 300 section at Staples and then find some empty seats in the 100's. I like having a championship team more overall, but I gotta admit, I went to a lot more games when the Kings weren't as good.

Quick is okay. So it looks like the Kings are back to winning in 5 instead of the 6 games it would have taken with Jones.

I love that the Kings are still portrayed as the "dirty" team even though they just finished one of the most mutually respectful playoff series in a generation against the Blackhawks. How many suspensions occurred in their series versus Habs/Rangers, again?

Gaborik and Kopitar are really, really good and may be able to take over a game even with McDonagh and Girardi matched up against them.
