Didn't predict any of these teams to be in the final. Will pick Rangers as Lund looks totally focused. Rangers in 6 in New York. Messier will eat cheetos or something.
NY is one of the weaker teams to make the SCF in a while. My prediction: LA in 6.
Are you forgetting Philly in 2010? They managed to take the Hawks to 1 goal of game 7 with Michael Leighton in net. If Lundqvist gets into a zone the Rangers could easily take the series

Goaltending on both sides was brutal in that series, Neimi was terrible. Not a huge Crawford can but if the Hawks had him then it would have been done in 4.
Rangers are playing well but Quick can be as good if not better than Lundqvist and LA's depth is scary. LA is just relentless, they don't stop coming and rarely alter their game to other teams. Cannot see NYR coming out on top in a 7 game series. They steal 2 so LA in 6.
I'll say Kings in 6, but frankly this has been the toughest playoffs to predict in recent memory, I've never been wrong so many times. So what do I know..
Hopefully MSG will wake up for these Finals, the reason I've had trouble getting more on board with the Rangers these playoffs is their stadium has been a library compared to the other arenas. I don't get it. Game 6 of the ECF was the first time it actually seemed like it was rocking, hopefully that continues into the Finals.
Rangers will struggle to put up more than 2 goals a game. Henrik will have to be at an almost historic level for them to steal it. What this series will show is how big the gap between the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference is. Kings in 5.

With 2-3k average ticket prices, look to see NY's quiet wealthy side. I'm predicting it won't be SCF's loud in there.
I actually believe the Kings are a better match for the Rangers than the Hawks in that the Rangers are clearly the faster team in this series. I think the Kings will ultimately win but it's going to be close going to at least 6 or 7 games as Lundquist is by far the best goaltender they have faced in the playoffs.

Not forgetting. 4 years is a while.

I see him doing donuts on his Can-Am Spyder at center ice around the cup while throwing bags of Lays around. If the Rangers win that is. Which they won't.
GO KINGS!

The Rangers should make this competitive, especially since LA's already played 21 games. But if Lundqvist isn't at the top of his game, I doubt they can win. The Kings will really want to get out of LA with a 2-0 series lead.

The rangers played 20 games, it's not like they swept their way to the finals and are waiting for the kings. They played two 7 game series and a 6 game series.
