Somewhat interesting article on the Kings unsustainable shooting percentages in the playoffs:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...los-angeles-kings-puck-luck-about-to-run-out/

Two issues I have...you can't really just pick and choose a time when things will regress. Over another 82 game season? Sure I'd expect the shooting percentages to regress, but over a relatively short playoff stretch? Can't say it's just gonna happen now.

Also, I believe the Kings had a very low shooting percentage in the regular season, so it going higher in the playoffs isn't crazy if they were shooting below the norm to begin with. However, things like Muzzin's insane shooting percentage or Gaborik shooting way over his career average are indicators of things that might come down.

And finally...we don't see the same analysis for the Rangers. But, they also don't have the huge increase in playoff scoring that the Kings did and I wouldn't be surprised if their shooting percentages are more in line with their season shooting percentages
 
Hopefully we jump on them. They're coming with the same mentality that we aren't very good and that they should be able to just show up. It's difficult for players to motivate themselves for every single series. THey fought for their lives against Chicago and they knew they had to. Much like Montreal against Boston. Must capitalize on the letdown.
 
Probably going to Big Shots for the game.

That being said, win or lose, I'll be leaving drunk. Let's go boys - you're so close.

Of course not. Similarly, you can't say that the Rangers aren't going to shoot the lights out while the Kings fire blanks.

looking at the Kings GDT, i can't see how the 2 remaining teams are #1 and #2 in hits, but they have over THREE HUNDRED more hits than we do. i sure hope thats a typo.....

LGR!!!

That means the opponent has had the puck far longer than them. That's a good thing, for us. :) LGR!!

Have a feeling LA takes this in 6 or 7. The teams will split the first four.

Win or lose, this season was a hell of a ride and exorcized so many demons that have been plaguing this team in recent years. I'll be a proud fan either way. However, I'll be over the moon if we can win a Cup before our core gets older and our best players start to decline. Let's do this.

Hopefully you will remain true to your username and will Eat more Crow......! :)

Swamped so just getting this in beforehand for now.

For the record.

I was right about Rangers in 6 or less vs. Mtrl.
Now, no guts no glory, seeing Kings should be tired out for 1st game, which we should take, and then we do 3 of the next 5, now predict Rangers in 6.

With LeNeVeu as the starting goalie in game 6? ;):laugh:
 
I can't focus on anything at work, today. I'm completely useless.
 
Perhaps the most famous image in Rangers history is an elated Mark Messier gripping the Stanley Cup in 1994, minutes after his Blueshirts ended a 54-year championship drought.

After seeing that picture every day, Henrik Lundqvist is hell-bent on adding a frame of his own.

“Since my first couple of days at the training center and seeing that photo from ’94, I’ve been walking by that photo every day for nine years. And I’ve seen myself being them and I definitely want to be there,†Lundqvist said. “It’s been a dream for a long time, and to be in this position it’s extreme excitement.â
