Majority of Board Thinks We'll Get Crushed in SCF

[BroadwayBlues]

Why does everyone [pundits] keep talking about how incredible the level of hockey is in the Kings-Hawks series? I don't get how a series can have such a "high level" when both goalies SV% is in the .880s... clearly there is something lacking.

Non hockey fans have done the same thing. They see high scoring games and compute that to the Rangers are really going to have a tough time.

Do they really think the Rangers D and Lundqvist are going to give up 4 goals every game? Maybe one off night (ala Habs gm/5, Philly gm6) but not the whole series.

Other than the offensive weapons these teams dont scre me. Plus they will both be tired. Chicago has also played a ton games and they have been rolling 3 lines. Granted they ahve bigtime weapons but our defensemen have shown they could cancel them out at least limit their effectiveness

Western goaltending is atrocious

 

[LannysStach]

Watching this WCF . . . I think either of these teams are beatable.

Don't care. Can't wait to win, and claim the best team in the NHL title. Don't let anyone tell you differently, if you make if through these playoffs, you are the best team in the NHL.

I know they wouldn't give up three goals in a Game 7.

I agree. The West is whack son!

I bet the winner of this series forfeits the finals after they touch the crappy Clarence Campbell Bowl!

And then there's ... the coaching advantage we've had since the Montreal series ended.
Every coach & scout et al has been focused on Chi & LA since Friday morning.
Plus the players.
Whereas the other two Finalists are fighting each other for their lives on this Sunday night ... with the main principals not being Rangers-centric at all.
Not to mention the physical beating and mental drain endured.
I'm not saying it's determinative, but the fatigue on one side and prep on the other is a factor
... in our favor.
