Yeah, you're not getting any more of our actually decent players, Kings. gently caress off and trade with somebody else.

What's that, Ryan Johansen for Matt Greene and a 2nd? You drive a hard bargain, Jarmo but you've got a deal!

So can I call the Kings back-to-back champs? 2013 doesn't count since it was shortened, I think.

Great series. Not as good as WCF but that OT was quality hockey.

Hank deserves better. Listening to NY media try to say he need to play better for the Rangers to have a chance is mind blowing.

Absolutely. If you were going to tell me that the Rangers would be playing the Kings in the Finals I would never believe that. I watched them live get destroyed in Las Vegas then that awful start. It's heartbreaking to lose in the final but I'm proud of them for even getting this far.

You could say the same thing about the Kings in October.

please buyout richards, trade marc staal so that you can re-sign stralman, give moore a chance at being a top 4 with strals (he can cover him no prob), bring up uhh connor allen or something. re-sign pouliot if he'll come cheap, d. moore too, try to find a center, do some crazy deal for joe thornton maybe because gently caress it, that'd be really cool

Think about this:

2012: Kings storm through playoffs and win 6-1 in final game.
2014: Kings play three 7-game series, coming from behind often, and win final game in double OT.

Basically, Kings fans got the best a both worlds. I love it. :)

You Rangers fans have an awesome team. They gave it their all even though they were 3 games down and showed a lot of heart. I wouldn't be surprised to see them back next year, against us of course :)

Look at this guy reaching for the stars. Clearly RyJo is worth Dwight King or Jeff Schultz, some plug, and a 7th.

And they somehow beat both of my most hated teams. Whenever I want to play a quick game in the NHL games, I always pick either NJ or NY even before we ever faced them.

I like to think both Staal and Girardi just had really bad series but gently caress both were pretty poo poo during the playoffs. Girardi was at least money in the regular season. Staal hasn't been so hot

I know he was playing tougher competition but to me Girardi was noticeably worse in that series. The number of turnovers was staggering. I hope he spends the offseason making breakout passes.

Yeah they were suck in different ways. Staal's was kind of overall, esp speed and positioning. Girardi just loving made awful turnovers all over the place.
