This is actually happening.

No matter what happens I am damn proud of this team. Go get it blue.:handclap:
 
One of the ancillary benefits of this Rangers Cup run is we have absolutely ruined the entire Spring for so many Icelander and Devil fans. If you need some comic relief, check out the Devil Stanley Cup thread - it is absolutely pure comedic gold!

There are about seven people in that thread who post over and over and over again, and series after series they first convince themselves why the 'Rags' will get destroyed, then as the series goes on they start to rationalize why they were wrong and why the Rangers were - pick one - lucky, cheating, beating horrible teams, etc.

They've actually resorted to calling the Eastern conference - THEIR OWN CONFERENCE WHERE THERE TEAM COULDN'T MAKE THE PLAYOFSS - the LEASTern conference. You can't make this stuff up.

If we do find a way to beat LA, some of their heads may literally explode!

First game is everything, really want to take this game.

On the radio they were discussing team that wins first game in Cup series is going to take the series 77% of the time or something like that.

In addition I think we won all first games in each series so far so hopefully that trend continues.
 
Is their a game tonight? :sarcasm:

Have fun boys, the pressure's on the Kings. Start strong and if you get a lead, keep pushing. LA won't give in.

Why not us???

Show them. Show them!!!
 
Joe Torre used to say that in the playoffs the "odd" numbered games were the most important. That way you are never playing with a game behind in the series. Also that makes you champions.

win game 1,3,5,& 7 (at the very least)....they can have 2,4,& 6

Lets take tonights game, and more on to #2.
 
Surreal feeling coming in here and seeing "Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals" First GDT EVER to have those words for the Rangers.

Game 1 is big, gotta get at least one in LA.

Hits, faceoffs, and special teams will be important tonight.

As always, managing the puck for the Rangers and playing a sound team defense will make them successful. Team speed is also a very big factor. Gotta get in on their defense and carry the play. If the Kings are still stuck in Hawks mode after that emotional series they need to jump on them. Shoot high glove and blocker on Quick.

Good luck men. LGR.

I'd like to win games 1,2,3,& 4 to be perfectly honest haha. Like you said though, one game at a time.

Can't believe I'm posting in a Rangers Stanley Cup Final GDT. Feels good.
 
Well all the talking is over now. Matchups, history, leadership, experience, attitude & stats can all be thrown out.

Rubber is meeting road.

This is why the games are "played" & trophies aren't just handed to the team that looks best on paper.

I hope they show some ****ing pride and display to the world why they aren't just an also ran.

Skate ur ***** off!
 
I find it interesting that people hype up the Kings beating all of these teams so much.

In their first series they were down 0-3 and came back to win 4-3
In their second series they won 2, lost 3, and then won 2.
In their third series they lost 1, won 3, lost 2, won 1.

Multiple times throughout the playoffs where they had a multiple game losing streak that brought them to the the brink of elimination.

Sure, it shows character that they were able to come back. However, I laugh when I read people saying that the kings "beat up" on those other teams. They barely made it out of all three of their rounds.
 
I have to admit, I have been pumped since yesterday! I almost took today off. Anyway, I think our team has been undersold by many out there.

LGR!!!!
 
Not easy at all to reach the Cup final. Thank you to the NYR for a great run and best of success in the series. Cannot wait for the puck to drop :yo:
 
The Rangers Bryant Park set up is nice. Big screen TV. Small rink for the kids. Big cut outs of Lundqvist, Staal, Girardi, Richards, Nash and St. Louis for pictures.

I'd love to see some pics of this if anyone heads over there today.
