Hossa still has 7 years left on his contract with the Hawks, hockey contracts are the dumbest in any of the sports.

with the influx of Somalians that that percentage is probably lower than 98%

stop it!!! we will start to have another thread of it is a failed season if we don't win a natty versus other season acomplishments and there are numerous of those already.

let's hope they can hold on to, 1-0 leads at this year's World Cup have been like 2 goal leads in this seasons NHL playoffs-they don't last too long.

that was pathetic. there will have to be the WANT because the Kings absolutely WANTED it more than the Blackhawks this season.

anything else would be a failure for the greatest NHL team to ever take the ice.

but they did push the Hawks to a game 7 last year, which if I recall is one game further than the Bruins did

they let everything go and then call a high stick on the rangers, this with nash was a make up call if I ever saw one. I'm of the belief you either call everything in OT like you would during reg or you don't call anything at all. Rangers are DOA at MSG. like you said they have to win both, which ain't happening.

listening to NBC would leave one to think they were

I'm just saying the Kings are on their way to being lableled the greatest team ever. I mean three game 7 wins on their way to the Finals, what five or six wins after being down two goals(three in a row) who could ever match that in the history of the NHL.

Rangers can't beat the Kings in a man to man game, it is impossible to beat them when the Kings get every questionable call to go their way. But I guess the league is trying to do everything possible to make the Kings the greatest team ever.

everytime the kings enter the zone you feel they could end it, not so much with the rangers

IDK you listen to these broadcasts by NBC you would think there is only one team playing and how great they are.

still going with Kings in five. once LA settled in they outscored them 3-0 and dominated. Kings win games 2 and 3, Rangers win game 4 on a fluky OT goal and LA celebrates after game 5 and are labeled the greatest team ever to win a Stanley Cup.

so what you're saying is that Jesper Fast could play in this series

Hak should instill a policy that if a recruit starts to flirt with the possibility of going the major junior route he should immediately pull the offer and move on. you either want to come here or you don't.

well you gotta do, what you gotta do

might be stacked but as a whole team they had WAY, WAY, WAY too many defensive breakdowns these whole playoffs. and that is a big reason they are sitting at home making tee times.

intangibles-won three game 7's on the road, came back from down 3-0 against San Jose, came back from third period deficits in games 2 and seven and they just won't go away. Lundqvist may be better, but Quick makes the saves(s) to keep the Kings in it. in games 2 and 7 the Hawks weren't able to add that extra goal to get to a three goal lead and it killed them in the end and Quick was a HUGE reason why they didn't. Again I hope I am wrong and the Rangers win it, maybe this will go seven and the Rangers give the Kings a taste of their own medicine. But I don't think it gets that far.

the Rangers have a slight edge in goaltending, Kings have an advantage in eveything else-offense,defense, special teams, coaching and intangibles. Kings in 5.

nope, just first losers and the Blackhawks are the second losers and Canadians are the third losers.. no one remembers who finished second unless you are referring to the Vikings or Bills.

doesn't matter if they win in 4,5,6 or 7. Rangers won't win four games.

I disagree, there is more intrigue witht he NBA Finals as either team has a legit shot at winning. can't say the same about the SCF.

let the start of the Kings dynasty begin. two in three trumps two in four. Rangers have zero shot at beating LA. Go Rangers though.

the Blackhawks just seem to get better as a series goes on. Over the last two years they are unbeaten in games 5-7 and going back to 2010 they are 21-3 versus 25-23 in games 1-4. we'll see if the trend continues tomorrow.
