Minnesota to me is not worse than Montreal, but because of different conferences and histories of the franchises most people probably think they're a lot worse than Montreal.

Every year, it amazes me how some players seem to up their game routinely in the playoffs.
Bryan Bickel looks to be one. I know it's easy and makes logical sense to attribute it to luck and sample size. But watching game after game I really believe to an extent there is something real to it.

If it won't be the Rangers I'd love it. Fewer teams like the Kings and more teams like the Hawks winning is good for the league. I can't wait for any game that the Hawks play and in the meantime I can't sit through a Kings game. Skill teams winning it all is always good for the league. Skill teams that can play physical like Boston and Anaheim is good too. Teams like the Kings is horrible for the league. To me they're the modern day NJ Devils.

If not the Rangers, then hopefully the Blackhawks do. They're a fun team to watch with a lot of skill.

I jinx players.
Yeah, I agree. I think that there is definitely something to it being real in some cases, and in others it is a statistical anomaly.

Teams left that have never won a Cup:
Minnesota Wild.
That kinda sucks. If not the Rangers, I root for teams that have never won the Cup before.

Gabby is one of my favorite non-Rangers in the league. Shame he's on the Kings, but it's great to see him styling.
Guy was maligned here for absolutely no good reason. Love Gabby.

I think the reasoning is that for personal statistical purposes, the goalie would still want to get credit for the save.
Did anyone ever get a reason why we are forced to to play back to back and finish by the 13th when another series finishes on the 16th?

I'm..confused by this statement to say the least. But the answer will always be the NHL scheduling comitee if clearly filled with morons (or the usual conspiracy theory thing) (Scheduling did not conflict with either arena so that was not a reason)
Sorry if it was confusing but I think you answered it when you said there don't seem to be scheduling conflicts that would force the schedule to be like it is. When I look on NHL.com the Rangers-Pens series can finish latest May 13th. One of the other series can possibly finish on the 16th so it also seems that all series wouldn't have to be over until that date and would allow some flexibility in our series.
We cant blame anyone for having to go to seven in the first round but nobody has played 5 playoff games in the playoffs in such a short period in 25 years.
I think it is more that the play only gets reviewed to see if it was kicked in if it goes in the net. If it doesn't, why would they care? A shot and a save is insignificant for a goalie and player. Nobody is going to spend time making sure a shot that was kicked won't count as one.

Good article about the Blackhawks/Leafs and advanced stats.

That's just a rematch of last years WCF. I'd like to see Anaheim over LA just becaue of that reason.
This year's final four could be exactly the same as last year LA-Chicago and Boston-Pitt. That would be extremely boring to see the exact same match ups.
There are some people that use advanced analytics as the bible, and I think that's wrong too. But stubborn old men that think it's crap and aren't adapting because that's the way it was done in the 70s, I look down upon. Especially those in management. God forbid you try to make something more scientific rather use your "gut".
