He had zero chance on any of the 3 goals.

Kane looks like he doesn't know what to do against LA's defence.

Darryl Sutter is a genius.

I was basing my opinion on more than those 3 goals.

I think it's interesting how some goalies get more praise when they play well and others are dismissed. Someone like Crawford can't win because whenever he plays well, it's the team, and people notice him only when the team allows goals. With some goalies, it's the other way around.

Fans might not want to admit it, because we're all such individual thinkers in our own minds, but media hype and the lack of it drives a lot of that.

Its gonna be a NY v LA final. Gross.

Its gonna do huge numbers in the US but LA is going to absolutely crush them, even if Lundqvist plays like God.

As for the game, haven't paid much attention, but my (unpopular) opinion is that Chicago is more top heavy than the Kings. When Toews and Kane are amazing, which is often, the team is amazing, but LA has a deeper lineup.

Even though I'm cheering for the Kings, I don't give a Fata about getting ahead of things....

If they can wrap this up in 5, a rested Kings team going into the finals would be damn tough to beat.

LA is all over the Hawk player as soon as they get the puck. They have no room or space to even think out there.

While Chicago has more starpower between Toews and Kane, the depth is pretty even. I would have and still would have probably given the edge in depth to Chicago.

All I care is that whoever wins this series beats the #### out of whoever wins the East.

I said it was an unpopular opinion because I couldn't get anyone to agree with me on this a couple of weeks ago, but I think Chicago's depth is overrated.

New York Vs LA final should get people talking in the states and I'm all for the game getting more exposure.

I think LA is far deeper and easily deepest in the league.

Crawford does give good speeches...but he is not a top 5 goalie in the league.

Yep. New York vs LA has been Bettman's wet dream since he took over.
