Your entire point has been "western dominance" and zero doubt that the west will win the Stanley Cup. Since 2000, the west has won 7 cups, the east 6. I simply disagree with you...the Rangers have a shot.

Yea, it kinda does matter. You make it sound like NY has no business being on the same ice as the Kings. LA has played 21 games to win 12 including the last two in OT. If the Rangers take the Kings to 6 or 7, you can't exactly call them patsies.

I had Barker's deal at $6.2 mil over two years, not $5.3...

Johnsson's deal was $4.8 million for one year...

Chicago also received Kim Johnsson - the Wild got stuck with Cam and his 2-year 6.2 million dollar contract. Chicago cleared up tons of cap room, not the Wild.

If you like time-outs and free-throws, by all means, enjoy the NBA Finals. You're predicting a four-game sweep by the Kings?

Burns for Setoguchi...Havlat for Heatley and his albatross contract...

You know what they say...the TV camera subtracts 2-3" in height and 10-15 pounds in weight...

I'm not quite sure how two Stanley Cups in five years isn't dynasty material but two in four years would be...Just my opinion, but while I do not consider the Avalanche ('96, '01) a dynasty at all, I think the Red Wings ('97, '98, '02,) and Devils ('95, '00, '03) are.

Absolutely fabulous series...only fitting that game 7 went to OT. New York vs Los Angeles...should out-do San Antonio vs Miami in the National Snoozeball Finals.

Certainly a step in the right direction, Goon. Stop the flop!

I may be wrong on this, but I think the post counter is a lot like your car odometer...if you post something, you get a +1. If you promptly delete it, the system doesn't subtract 1. Correct me if I'm wrong, jimdahl...

NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND! Like the dominating performance & scoring binge they had in a MUST-WIN game 5 AT HOME? I like the Kings...but closer than the experts think. 4-2 ENG.

That's a bit harsh, sprig. I have a better chance of passing Wayne Gretzky as the NHL career goal-scoring leader than I do of passing Goon's post total here.

I'm pretty sure they can take a direct flight from NY to Los Angeles...would they even have room for additional passengers to board in Chicago?

Wait! That sounded bad. Anyone know how I can delete a post?

I blew a tranny in my '82 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme when I was in college...

Yep, sure did. Lucic staring straight ahead looking into space...

Maybe Toronto should get an NHL team...

Also a nice sincere handshake and bro-hug between Brendan Prust and Derek Stepan too...

What did I miss?

Say what you will about PK Subban, I have great respect for a player who, win or lose, will look his opponent straight in the eyes, offer his congratulations, and a firm handshake. I couldn't tell the difference between him in the Boston line and tonight's line.

I'm suddenly finding myself pulling for Tokarski and the Canadiens to tie this up...
