Kings vs rangers for the cup is my guess
It looks like we're all set for the conference finals!
Rangers vs Devils - I like both these teams. If the Rangers somehow got eliminated the Devils would be my next favorite team. But they wont because the Rangers are going to destroy the Devils this round, Maybe in 5 games. Fun Facts: Rematch of the 1994 Eastern Finals; Rangers won the regular season series 3-2-1.
Kings vs Coyotes - Uh, It's the Western Finals. Ulm. They Play hockey. Mike Smith.... Ulm. Kings Win in 4? lol. What can I say I know the teams but don't watch them much but with the way the Kings are playing the only thing that is going to keep the Yotes in this series would be the stellar play of Mike Smith. That being said the regular season series was tied 3 games a piece.
Discuss!

RIU MODERATOR
I'm thinking the same thing though neither of the western conference teams particularly impress me. (Oh boy here it comes)
Watching last night's game I'd have to say these teams look undisciplined but fast. Although I;m sure both teams are feeling each other out the first two games and I'm sure they'll both tighten their game a bit, They better anyway because based on the first game it almost looked like the Pens/Flyers match up.
Oh and do neither of these teams block shots? Or am I just used to the splendid play of the Rangers and Caps? As it stands now I'll take either of the teams I saw play last night in the Finals vs the Rangers!
Anyway, Let's go RANGERS!
If LA continues to play like they did last night, the Rangers will have their hands full.
LA has been the best team in the playoffs thus far.
I say LA vs NY finals, with LA winning in 6.
This late in the season I should hope whoever the Rangers play that they give them a run for their money but LA better not expect to get 50 SOG vs the Rangers because that just is not going to happen.
And unless PHO/LA decide to block more shots than say the 10-30 BS they average per game its gonna be a shooting gallery. (Then again it is the playoffs. What do I know, Maybe LA will skate circles around the Rangers while they're all laying on the ice trying to block shots, heh)
Still plenty of hockey to be played obviously but LA/PHO did not look disciplined IMO.
if LA wins the Cup I believe it will make NHL history...I think there has been zero 8th seed Cup winners...could be wrong...![]()
You got me curious and this is what I found.

I normally cant sit through a hockey game but PLAYOFF hockey is a completely different game. Its so balls out and extreme its awesome.
This is my virtual world. This is my fantasy. I'm accumulating knowledge for the day when we come to our senses. Thank you internet.
Boom! Lundqvist and the boys shutout the Devils 3-0!
Everyone looked kind of sloppy tonight including the officials. The Rangers pulled their shit together for the third and completely dominated. This easily could have been a rout. The officials really need to get their shit together though as the game was filled with non calls. If this were later in the series or some other important game I'd be livid. At one point Prust gets a penalty for roughing. Thats great, he totally deserved it. However it was boarding. But a win is a win so I'll take it!
Devils are old and run down.LA vs NY in the finals.Im thinking Lord Stanley will finally make it to LA!!!!! Only 2/44 seasons have the kings even made it to the Conference Finals. This is Our year!! Quick's a Beast! IMO he's been far better than Lundqvist in the playoffs .
