I have to say Kings in 5 or 6, the Rags just dont have the horses and Richards and St. Louis are running on fumes while LA are just an oncoming juggernaut.
The LA Kings are a special treat in the playoffs, they are absolutely relentless, they are like wave after wave of patience and punishment. Relentless.
And with Home Ice Advantage? I dont think the Rags have enough tricks up their sleeves. Lundquist might steal them one or two, but with home ice none of the Rangers top players will ever get a favourable matchup and with best players vs best players you've got to tip the scales pretty heavily in favour of the Kings.
What we might see is reminiscent of 2003, a Kings win and Lundquist with the Conn Smythe. Really, King Henrik in Conn Smythe form is NYR's only hope.
