Stanley Cup Final: New York Rangers vs. Los Angeles Kings

[mister_mcgoo]

Pretty text book game by the Kings. NYR is getting chances, Quick is showing up after an average playoffs.

The thing about Quick this post-season though is that when they need him to make the big save he steps up

It's all over but the crying I think..

Looks like Jon Quick found his truck.

Kings played an amazing road game and perhaps will take the cup home with them after game 4.

It will be interesting to see how NY responds to the shutout loss.

Is this Brad Richards last game as a NY Ranger ?

I've gotta say... this is probably the most boring stanley cup finals I've ever watched (or rather not watched).

The hockey is boring, the teams are boring, and there's no drama or sense of rivalry.

I get it from a rivalry point of view, but the first two games were pretty good in terms of drama (2 x 2 goal comebacks, double OT).

They were close games for sure... I saw the Double OT game. Maybe it's just me personally, but for whatever reason, the series is just blah to me. Kind of like a NJ stanley cup final.

I don't know if it's the style of hockey they're playing, or the lack of marquee names involved, or what, but the series just doesn't intrigue or resonate with me.

LA/Chicago interested me deeply. LA/SJ interested me. NYR/PIT interested me. NYR/MTL was interesting. But for whatever reason... LA/NYR = blah

I'm probably alone on this one.

LA/Chicago was the Stanley Cup final like many of us said. It was some of the best hockey you can possibly put together. The Kings were massive favorites by most people and are showing why - it's not exciting, but when the best show good they are, it generally isn't. Watching Team Canada steamroll the rest of the world at the Olympics this year wasn't very exciting either.

Boston/Montreal was a lot of fun to watch too. It's kind of a shame that some of these great rivalries of old are impossible for the cup finals today

It's over. Bring on the drafts and trades

man girardi must be cursed, his stick breaks causing brown to go on a breakaway and score. girardi is clearly the kings mvp this round.

I know! Insane. And he just allowed Carter to blow by him and almost score!

We need another NYI/Oilers SCF - full circle.

Man if Hagelin ever gets Gaborik-like hands to go with his Gaborik-level speed (I think he's actually faster than Gabs now) he's going to be lethal
