Mentally weak Hall of Fame- add the Rangers to the list

[reset]

1. 2014 Sharks
2. 2012 Coyotes
3. 2014 Rangers
4. Alain Vigneault-Era Canucks
5. 2014 Ducks
6. 2012/2013 Blues

In order to be a champion, you have to act like a champion. Win or lose, the 2014 Kings are an example of such. Through this amazing run, I've witnessed true resilience, character, selflessness and brotherhood.

For example, even down 0-3 to the feeble sharks, not one King, from Sutter on down, complained about "puck luck," poor officiating, etc.

In fact, I don't recall Sutter or King players ever complaining about some injustice- EVER.

The SCF has brought out the true colors of the NY Rangers. IMO, they just don't have the intangibles to be a Stanley Cup Champion.

Lundqvist is a good goaltender, but If I want a Stanley cup CHAMPION goaltender, I'd want Jonathan Quick. Sure, he's had some poor performances throughout this playoff, but damn, he's made some incredible saves at the right time to keep us in games. More than likely, after 2014, it will be Quick 2 and Lundqvist 0. Who's 1 and 1A now?

Alain Vigneault- all I can say is that leadership comes from the top down. When you sound defeated, what kind of attitude do you think your team will embrace? Plus, his in-game adjustments don't compare to Sutter's. I can understand why his Canucks never won the dance.

Enough of this winded talk, if any of you want examples of mental weakness, just check out the following videos. They all have a similar bent to them. Feel free to add to the list.


Rangers- crybabies

Henrik "The King" Lundqvist- Game 2. "I'm extremely disappointed on that call... or non call."


Dan Boyle- losing it


Mike Smith- unhinged, chopping at the back of brown's knees


Cryotes- after game 5 in 2012

Shane Moan- "I still haven't found where I get my 3 penalties"

Mike smith- "we got beat by the officials"

Oh Coyotes, kind of forgot how bad it got. Yandle might have been the worst though.

 

[Another Carter Snipe]

That Shane Doan clip will live in infamy.




Must have been the first time ever a thigh bruise qualified as a "blown out knee" also.

 

[N o o d l e s]

We saw AV's true colors in 2011, looks like you guys are now too

Actually, I forgot how often you used to play VAN in the playoffs, you guys probably already know.

GOAT thread.

 

[TonySCV]

Some of these threads are candidates for "wait until the series is over".


This one is entertaining enough to post now, but man gang... "You don't win anything for three."

Dr. Doan is never wrong about his diagnosis. Never!

I remember kings being up 3-0 against the canucks and Bieksa said we have them right where we want them.

Lol

 

[MsMeow]

Doan was on TSN radio yesterday gushing about everything the Kings do well and how hard their forwards work. I had no idea it was him till the interview was over.

 

[Omni Owl]

Lets not forget how they manhandled the Blues 2 years in a row and got into their heads. At least Hitchcock gave us some credit instead of whining. This team is freakin' unflappable and can frustrate other teams. My favorite was watching the Coyotes melt down after Penner's OT winner. Doan, Smith, and Yandle making a B-line towards the ref and yelling. Doan and Hanzal are such ****ies for pulling that **** in the handshake line, classic...

Exactly my thought.

I forgot to add Yandle's conspiracy theory.

Classic Kevin! What a jabroni, haha.

Went to the our opponents forums. The mallards and fish are still pissy about their defeats. The Hawks arent however.

Might as well bring this video into it as well. Seems appropriate for this thread:

Because the Hawks fans know that they have a good team and will get multiple chances at the Cup. Not so much for the other two, especially the Sharts. Anaheim has to ditch BB if they want to compete.

Mike Smith is such a p*ssy.

Enough said.

One and done for the Rags, and they know it. Just like we knew it in 1993.

Exactly. Same reason why the Cryotes were so angry. They knew that would be their only shot for a loooong time.

 

[johnjm22]

When the Kings went down 3-0 to the Sharks, they never acted the way the Rangers are now.

Thank god for Sutter.

 

[Islesfans1978*]

Nothing would be more pleasing than to watch the Kings skate the Cup around Madison Circle Garden tomorrow night.

Routing them would be the icing on the cake, like a 7-0 beating.

Make the dream come true so I can laugh my balls off all summer long.........
