To be fair, these are also the same people who think Price is one of the elite best goalies in the world, despite up and down seasons, a career .909 playoff save pct, and 7 seasons without even a single Vezina finalist nod. I honestly wish Price was still in. Series stays cleaner, Habs play more loose in their own end, and I have seen nothing in Price's career to indicate he's all that.

Perhaps, though Boston had injuries to some key players and didn't look very much themselves. Boston, Montreal, it is what it is. Rangers just need to play hard and close this out.

I'd rather be playing Boston right now. We didn't have this kind of crap happening in our series last year and I could tolerate losing to a team that's actually better than us.
This series just has so much stupid in it
Flyers series their fans were awesome
Pens series their fans were practically rooting against them so Bylsma would get fired
This series oh my god. Kreider tripped on a breakaway = reckless dangerous and clearly intended to injure the best goalie of all time. Prust's clear retaliatory hit which was completely illegal = good clean hit, Stepan broke his jaw delivering a hit to Emelin and Prust got suspended for no reason.
Also I ****ing hate Therrien. He's up there with Deboer in terms of how much I dislike him.

I now know why Boston fans hate the Habs and their fans...biggest bunch of arrogant, whiny, self entitled, blind cry babies I have ever witnessed...boy I hope the Rangers win this series quickly so the Habs can go back to being irrelevant !!!!!
We tried to tell y'all, but nobody wanted to believe us
Just do us both a favor and beat them.

He slid in to Price like he was legging out a popup double. He attempted to sever the femoral artery but missed and tore his knee ligament from ligament instead, nonetheless Kreider was clearly impressed by his own nefarious handiwork.
As he blew past Emelin for a breakaway he immediately thought "Sucre bleu! **** scoring a goal I'm ending this guy's life TONIGHT in front of all these toads." Emelin knew of his intentions and in a last ditch attempt to thwart the diabolic Kreider he wrapped his stick around Kreider's right leg, the flex evidently pushed to it's utmost limits.
This was Price's saving grace, although Emelin was unable to stop the human freight train he managed to change his trajectory directly in to the knee rather than the inner thigh a la The Trinity Killer.
This was the spark that the AV was asking for; Kreider created a weakness and his team took advantage of it like ugly high school football players with a drunk promiscuous young lady.
Habs players were devastated, their coach grasping for any way to light a fire under his team and get them back on track. He, the players, and the fans began their rallying cry; "LA MORT DE RANGERS" was the message spread worldwide.
After another losing effort by the Habs and a subpar performance from a rookie netminder, Brandon "Big Game Big Pain" Prust summoned up the courage to retaliate in his team's defense by laying a clean, hard, and devastating hit on his incredibly intimidating former teammate "Concrete Hands" Stepan himself before having to toss his gloves aside and handle a dispute with "Bass Clarinet" Dorsett.
As that haymaker filled brawl began, the level of rage demonstrated by the "Moustache Bandito" Danny Carcillo charging towards the fray prompted an attempt by officials to stop the deranged young man from shanking Prust with the shiv stuffed in his glove. Carbomb threw a vicious elbow that nearly decapitated the Honorable Scott Driscoll and was forced to take an early shower along with a lifelong suspension.
The Habs had finally gotten the momentum that they so desperately deserved considering all the trials and tribulations that they have had to fight throughout the playoffs; Prust was lauded as a hero in Montreal for having the testicular fortitude to lay his health on the line against the Rangers goon filled lineup.
The NHL, obviously biased against Montreal, threw the book at Prust with a two game suspension but the confidence of finally getting even with the big bad Rangers has the Habs poised to sweep in 6.
All the while Carey Price, attached to oxygen tanks and IV drips of morphine, is smiling serenely in to the tv from a hospital bed as he see's his team playing such inspired hockey; the Priest still in the room after performing the Last Rites blessing began preparing to recite those very same Last Rites to the New York Rangers hockey club.

I understand people are upset, but the NHL does NOT want a Canadian team in the SCF because:
A) the local ratings in Canada don't count. Nobody in Canada watches American coverage.
B) US companies spend millions on ads but not a single ad they show in the US on a US network reaches Canadian audiences. They have to pay two and three networks for ad space instead of just one.
3) the NHL doesn't need to appeal to and reach out to the Canada market. They need more Americans to like hockey.

Habs fans are confused. They were raised by generations who grew up witnessing hockey royalty.
Since 1993, the organization has been a huge joke. A circus beyond a circus. Nobody wants to play there. They fired so many capable coaches who went on to have greater success elsewhere.
Two CF in 21 years for the greatest team in the history of the sport. Rangers have 4 in the last 20.
Sad indeed.

I think no matter what happens, the NHL is happy with the Finals this year.

I think the worst possible matchup for them is Mtl/LA, because So Cal is not really a hockey market and the aforementioned Canadian market thing you posted. But NY/Chi is a dream come true and Mtl/Chi is some old school ****. NY/LA is Quick/Lundqvist and two huge markets, I don't know, I don't think the NHL really cares who makes it because they will have a story line no matter what happens.

No not sad. This is a good thing. You don't want one team dominating all the time. The Habs have a great history, second most championships in the 4 main sports. Enough already. I hope they suck for 50 years.

The NHL most certainly cares who is in the Finals.
Its not about "story lines". Its about eyes on tv screens and the money those people will spend on the NHL brand and its advertisers.
Montreal is a tapped market. The NHL hates tapped markets.
Thats why you rarely see a Canadian team on NBCSN. Same with ESPN in the 1990s.
The NHL wants the fence sitters and disinterested types to watch their programming, and when it comes to hockey, America has way more fence sitters and disinterested types than Canada.

Yeah, but storylines attract viewers. All 4 of these teams will attract viewers. I really don't understand what you mean. The NHL cares about who is in the Finals, yes, but my point was that with the 4 teams that are left, they will have a pretty strong finals market wise.

Stéphane Quintal hated every second that he played for the Rangers. He made no secret about it, either. He can eat a nice, warm bowl of ****.

This league is a ****ing joke! It lacks all credibility and integrity. Especially to casual fans.

It's also really sad that the New York Media, with the exception of Brooksie, has come down harder on a lot of the comments coming from those players and their pathetic excuse for a professional coach.
