Why does New York winning make Vancouver look worse?

AV winning the Cup after being fired by Vancouver is probably the storyline being ran with :shrug:

The Kings are taking the whole "give the Rangers nothing" thing a little bit too far

The stakes have never been lower :effort:

quote:

If the Kings win the Stanley Cup, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said he will send Gov. Jerry Brown a "Taste of NY Gift Basket," which will include Gianelli Hot Italian Sausage from Onondaga County and red velvet cupcakes from Make my Cake in Harlem.

He also will part with a "Hat Trick" hockey puck commemorating New York having three on-time budgets in a row.

If the Rangers win, Brown will send Cuomo Lundberg Organic Brown Rice Cakes -- "lightly salted" -- and a copy of the book, "California: A History."

That Henrik Lundqvist was taken in the 7th round in a draft where Rick DiPietro was taken first overall really speaks volumes on how goalie drafting is only barely a step above literal voodoo

Henrik being taken after his own brother is such a weird thing

I don't mind the extra rest for the Kings but 1 playoff game in 5 days us unfair to the viewing public. And its even worst for Rangers fans, 1 game in 8 days and an impending series loss.

Between this and the Eastern Conference Champions Kings shirts it's only fair for the Kings to give something back to New York. Maybe send them some pizza or a bagel as a gesture of good will?

The Rangers never trailed in that game until the last shot. The refs did gently caress up a fair share of things but holy poo poo does Brad Richards stink on ice :retrogames:

Ray Ferraro has a good way to improve the consistency of goalie interference

Ray Ferraro posted:

I believe the int'l crease rule(as soon as off player goes into blue,whistle blows-no penalty-face off in neutral zone) is the answer to help clear controversy on goalie interference - never perfect, but way better and please don't bring up Hull goal - that was 15yrs ago

Is there any chance that the Rangers don't buyout Richards? Because I want to live in that future.

If he gets hurt the Rangers wouldn't even get the option to buy him out until he's healthy :science:

The difference in the series is clearly that not enough of the Rangers chose the correct brand of equipment :smith:

Does everyone in NY call AV "Viggy"?

Everyone that was mean to Kite for expecting the Kings to sweep the Rangers should feel pretty bad about themselves right about now. Maybe AV will let Carcillo be a hero next game or Brad Richards will stop being awful :laugh:

Mirtle: Will Ferrell on series when still in LA: "It�s great for the East Coast to find out how hockey is really played." Not sure if it was a joke.

:laugh:

In other news history was made.

EliasSports: Jonathan Quick is just 2nd opposing goaltender to record a shutout at MSG in the #StanleyCup Final (G. Cheevers � 1972).

That's kind of a dumb stat since the Rangers haven't been in the Finals all that often.

11 times in 88 years is nothing to sneeze at :corsair:

I won't see that because if the Kings win I am for sure turning the game off as soon as it's over

You need to watch the whole thing so you can see Marian Gaborik skating around MSG with the Cup over his head :allears:

Anyone who doesn't think Doughty is one of the best defensemen in the league is crazy nutso

This is a scientific fact. It takes a massive amount of personal bias to even entertain the thought that he isn't one of the top 5.

These people had some pretty great reactions

Since today is potentially the last game of the season they should probably move it from NBCSN over to NBC.

AV hasn't told Daniel Carcillo if he'll get to play tonight yet. He can't be worse than Brad Richards so it's worth a shot :unsmith:

This shirt is literally falling apart but I had to wear it today and sadly it's looking like it'll be at least another year before I can retire it.

It almost looks like it's turned inside out. You should get it signed at the 94 team reunion on Friday then put it out to pasture

I can see Hank going out like Patrick Bateman. He's pretty enough.

One of the gif wizards needs to put Hank's head on Bateman and Richards/Carcillo's head on the cat in the ATM scene.

Loqieu posted:

Some what clever headline by the Post today. The soundtrack for today's game will be 2Pac and Wang Chung.

Also Mike Keenan says Lundqvist can win the cup on his own. So most likely the season ends today.

Blue or Die was better than that :negative:
