Rangers had a 2 goal lead heading into the 3rd period and surrenders 2 goals. Game tied and heading into overtime. Must game for the Rangers.

My service provider I guess is running the game in another time zone but in the highlites weren't the Rangers screwed by refs?

It appears that the Kings got away with one on the tying goal. Appear to be goalie interference.

Kings are one game away from winning the Holy Grail following a 3-0 win over the Rangers. That latter had their chances but failed to beat Jonathon Quick.

Strange, but at the moment, all I can think of is New York Fries. I guess because maybe their dog is cooked. Any appearance of an entertaining Stanley Cup from here on looks to be non genuine. It is only a question of when. The Rangers may well pull off a win or maybe two but not 4 in a row.

Start spreading the news
We're losing our way
We're down 3 game to none
We're sad today

This awful dream
Won't ever end
It makes me sad
And when we do get a shot
It's usually blocked
Or stopped by Quick's Pad

We're singin the Blues
The fans are all mad
They boo us of the ice
It makes us feel bad

It's not up to you, New York, New York.
Tell me how long must a fan be strong? Ans. Always.

How do you build a team like the LA Kings? The Canucks are so poor in comparison, it seems to me.

The Kings are relatively huge. Hugely talented.

Amongst the forwards they have 7 players drafted in the 1st round, including acquisitions Carter and Richards.

Amongst their forwards the smallest one is Richards at 5'11" 196.

I've always thought that Marion Gaborik was one of the supreme snipers in the NHL. Sutter has managed him so very well.

Doughty of course was a 2nd overall pick.

Their D Men are all big.

They cruise at times, but when it counts, they really get down to business.

Great keeper in Quick also.

It seems that they are from a different galaxy than the poor old Canucks.

Good luck to Jim Benning and Trevor Linden.

I kind of liked Mike Gillis, but he traded away draft picks, and he failed to hit home runs with his selections.

At least I have no animosity towards the Kings, unlike the hated Bruins and Hawks. LOL
