So we are comparing the NBA and NHL to a league that was around for less than a decade?
If this wasn't about seeing longer series as a whole and more about the Rangers advancing why put them down 2-0 and 3-2 in the series? Was the NHL really going to roll the dice on a game 7 if they wanted the Rangers to advance? All it takes is one hot goalie and a bounce or two and even the worst called game could go the other way.
I believe the only people saying games are fixed, NBA or whatever sport, are doing it because they personally felt the lose of a team, not because there is any real evidence. And as long as humans are reffing games you will always have conspiracy this, conspiracy that. Media in North American sports has too much access, this ain't Russia.
