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.
Fair enough, but the spirit of my initial comment was to suggest that the cup was going to be won by the Western champs and that the Eastern championships were effectively only for show as a result.

The Rangers could make it as close as they wanted, but it seemed fairly clear that they never really stood much of a chance of actually winning it.

Now lets see if they can even win a game.
