scpa0305 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 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. ....they're pretty deep and well constructed.

'The greatest team ever' shouldn't need three game 7's, nor should it continually be down by goals. I'll title the Kings the best comeback team, but definitely not greatest team in general. 2 Quote

MafiaMan Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 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. I dunno about that...the flop by Rick Nash that was called sure gave the Rangers a golden opportunity to win the game... Quote
cberkas Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 "The greatest team ever" is going to be the Montreal Canadians from the 50's and 60's. In a 16 year period 1953 to 1969 they won 10 cups (5 in the 50's and 5 in the 60's). If you add in the 70's that would be 16 cups in a 26 year span 1953 to 1979. The Kings have a long way to go to even be mentioned as "the greatest team ever". Quote

The Kings have a long way to go to even be mentioned as "the greatest team ever". Don't forget the Islanders from 1980-83 (4 Cups in 4 years) and the Oilers from 1984-90 (5 Cups in 7 years). Even the Red Wings of the 1990's and 2000's couldn't match that level of sustained excellence. Quote

Exactly six. Finish in the top four and win 8 games = Stanley Cup. And since the draft (I use that term loosely as there was no draft) was "territorial" in those days, Montreal and Toronto were able to keep local talent within 50 miles of their cities to themselves. Had Detroit or New York had the same talent pool to choose from in those days, they'd have 20+ Stanley Cups too. Quote
Goon Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Personally, the 2011 Boston Bruins team was a personal favorite of mine. 2 Quote
keikla Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Personally, the 2011 Boston Bruins team was a personal favorite of mine. But not the 2013 Boston Bruins who choked away a Stanley Cup? Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 But not the 2013 Boston Bruins who choked away a Stanley Cup? They would have lost game 7 in Chicago anyways... Quote
siouxweet Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I dunno about that...the flop by Rick Nash that was called sure gave the Rangers a golden opportunity to win the game... 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.

Fetch Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 U can't win the cup without a former Sioux player Quote
sioux rube Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Looking like a sweep is around the corner. Quote
Redneksioux Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 http://news.sportslogos.net/2014/06/09/penguins-getting-new-jerseys-yellow-returns/ What a great story to overshadow their mediocre play when it counts. So they have a couple big names on their team. But those guys haven't been performing when it matters; let's go kings! Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 http://news.sportslogos.net/2014/06/09/penguins-getting-new-jerseys-yellow-returns/ I sure wish this was a full-time color switch and not just an "alternate" jersey. Good news...but still a bummer... Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Looking like a sweep is around the corner. It would appear that siouxsweet was correct...NY played a great first two games but look demoralized after the first goal of last night's game. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Girardi has been the King's best player in this series so far............................. Quote
Goon Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Matt Greene was interviewed by McGuire after the game. Mike Milbury also gave Greene some love as well. Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Oh boy! Put down the bong my friend. It's too bad Boston gagged and spit up a loss in game 6 last summer...alas, we'll never know what would have happened in Chicago in game 7. 1 Quote

MafiaMan Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah, yuh, because the Red Wings (aka painting drying) were so much better the last two years, right? I'll interpret your response for everyone: blah blah blah...Red Wings...blah blah blah...paint drying...blah blah blah... 2 Quote
Goon Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I'll interpret your response for everyone: blah blah blah...Red Wings...blah blah blah...paint drying...blah blah blah... That's pretty much it. Quote
