Kings will win in 5 and wait/rest while this series goes to 7.
This is such a strange post.
That's also partially because Torts was benching MDZ for half the game. Until that goal, ha.
At least Marty doesn't get his shutout.
Why?
Because they can't get into the fucking zone.
When they've actually had the puck with sustained pressure they've had results. Tired bunch.

GO DEVILS! GO DEVILS! GO DEVILS! GO DEVILS!
Because the Rangers have done stuff like that before, like any team. Because "that Ranger" has a name: Rupp. Because it's weird to get so angry on Brodeur's behalf after a little jab to the mask. Because... because everything, Kinggi.

Damn those fans jet lmao...Bad game for the Rangers, completely out of sync except for the last 5 mins. Offense couldn't get started and defense were tired as fuck. If Rangers had any chance to be a little fresh for the Cup they needed to win today....*shrug* I still see them winning the series but going 7 is a fucking bitch.
Didnt think there was anything weird about it at all. Guy did a dick move that got the other team a 4 minute pp and was completely avoidable. Even though i'm a Rangers fan i also have liked Marty for many years and im of the opinion goalies are off limits unless they decide to throw the first punch, having been a goalie myself for a good 10 years.
This was the 2nd game I watched since the Canucks got eliminated. Glad to see PJ is still the idiot he was before.
"New Jersey has been dominating every game this series"
"The Rangers have been all Lundqvist, and then found a timely winning goal, and they did so again tonight... oh.. wait no, not tonight".
-facepalm-
EDIT: Now PJ wants to see himself in side view because apparently it makes him look skinnier. WTF CBC?!?

He's a man-sized baby.
To be fair, if you did a breakdown of the 12 periods in this series so far, the Devils have dominated about 9 of them.
The Rangers could easily have been eliminated 4-0 tonight with the way the series has mostly been played.
But after all that it's 2-2 with another chance to push the Devils to the edge again on Wednesday. We still need to win 2, so our situation hasn't really changed much.
Just no more shit first periods. We need to match their pace right from the get go.
...what?
Quoting for truth. lawl
I don't even, trust me. They did a camera-switch from the side-view to the front, he apparently saw that. He then, live on camera, said to turn the camera back to the side view, he posed on it, said that it made him look skinny and that from now on he should keep using that camera. The camera then went back to the front view and he turned sideways to see how he'd look there. LIVE ON CAMERA. The girl next to him kept telling him to stop doing wtf he was doing because it was LIVE ON CAMERA WTF MAN. Next segment, HE DOES IT AGAIN. She goes, also live, "please stop showing his sideview". It was ridiculous.
This needs to be youtubed. I feel like I'm missing out.

I think it is just showing how pathetic the franchise was in the playoffs before this year.
I believe it's in response to two or three TV news channels out in LA. They were covering the Kings story but ended up showing the Sacramento logo and Sacremento mascot if I remember correctly. It definitely gave me a laugh.
Here's the story: KNBC Mistakes Sacramento Kings for LA Kings
KCBS also screwed up their reporting: Wrong Mascot

The "Brad Doty" thing is from another news channel broadcast where the lady couldn't say anything right.

That was by far the best statistic in that picture.

this is a wonderful schedule for me. Ill be away the week i thought the cup was taking place, but now ill only miss game one.
Hmmm... if the Kings make it *knock on wood* then the first 2 home games are on weeknights.
now i have to take time off work in addition to spending bucket-loads of cash on tickets...
still all hypothetical though! i'll gladly do it though!!!
WE'RE ALL VERY SORRY FOR THE BURDEN THE KINGS HAVE PUT ON YOU
This actually just reminded me about having to listen to a bunch of people saying: "Oh my god. It's June and they're STILL PLAYING HOCKEY?!"
The image makes me rage because it is quite possibly the worst infographic ever produced.
