Might be the only lead that matters, but it doesn't tell the full story of this series. When we look back on the series, will people say "Rangers weren't even close to winning a game, let alone the series"? No, because that would be untrue. Its only an ass kicking if the Kings win all 4 games by 2 or 3 goals and at no point did they look in danger of losing the series. For good portions of both the opening 2 games, things were in the balance and had the Rangers snatched either game(or both), then things could have been very different. Same with game 3. Three fortunate bounces/deflections give the Kings three goals, 2 unreal Quick saves keep the Rangers out. If that luck swings the other way tonight, then we might still have a contest on our hands. Unlikely, but you never know. And I think you are doing the Rangers a massive disservice by claiming this has been an ass kicking.
