Love when the 12th forward tries to get his name in the paper.
The Swamp
It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

Ever since I was a kid, I've always heard "pad save" as "bad save".

I would looooooove to know the last time a team set their season high for PK time in the playoffs.

Ha, as I post that, a penalty in the 1st minute of OT. Go Team Canada!

I thought the penalties were correct. The Rangers were really reckless with their sticks.
Great snipe by St. Louis. This series is over.

Those were "holding on every play" calls. You can't turn on a dime and start calling every touch after you've let two of our guys get blasted strides late in the first three games.

(Also, if you want to take a magnifying glass, rewind to about 30 seconds left in regulation and explain to me how that isn't textbook interference.)

It was interference. Although maybe the puck had already passed by.
The Nash penalty for tripping was stupid but there were a couple of high sticks uncalled.
I loved the last goal, Rangers just pinned the Habs into submission. But the Rangers need to be more careful with their sticks and infractions.

It was the pass from Boyle, the most divisive player over the past half decade or so. Either we're smart and resign him or someone "overpays for a 4th line defensive center".

Pretty psyched about NYR making the finals. It's so rare when you live in a city with legal gambling and get to bet against one of the worst franchises in the history of pro sports in a championship series.

Ha. Lower seeds than them have won Cups fairly recently. They have a chance, because of Lundqvist. Having said that, I would certainly also bet on either L.A. Or Chicago over the Rangers. Rangers were fortunate to get a path of Tokarski, Fleury, and Emery/Mason.brian wrote:Pretty psyched about NYR making the finals.

Gosh, I wonder if the odds will reflect the gap between the east and west? If not, we might have a new richest man in Detroit!

Wow, that's pretty weak for such an awesome awesomeness awesomer as yourself Dave. God bless in the Stanley Cup Finals. Winning a Cup as an adult is pretty cool.

Let's have a legitimate discussion about this. Given their advantages for most of the franchise history the Rangers are easily one of the three worst franchises in the history of pro sports right? Maybe THE worst?
Re: OFFICIAL 2014 NHL Playoffs Thread
Posted: Fri May 30, 2014 12:16 am
Cubs are up there obviously. So Rangers are likely second worst.

I'm not sure they're the worst franchise in their own building.
I wonder if there's a common link.

The day they make the finals seems a strange time to bag on a team for being a bad franchise.

Also, I think my D. Moore joke fizzled. I hope one of the remaining teams has a Bruce Buckner.
