I'd love to see a Kings - Rangers final... The ratings have already been doing well this year and to have a Kings - Rangers final? Can you imagine? There would be bandwagon fans just because of the two teams playing in the Cup. It's time to party for me

As a Canadian I am really hopping for a LA-NY Finals. As a fan of Hockey I am hopping for a NY-LA final...

I am sure Gary Bettman is hopping for a LA-NY final.

And Bettman would look like this if that happen..

because Ovi cant be trusted. And you see why he cant be trusted by his display tonight.

He needs to modify stuff but this team was garbage and rudderless before he arrived. It took time but he figured it out.

That's a copout.

They play rope a dope hockey. Rope a dope is for teams that are not talented. Caps have loads of offensive firepower but struggle to score 2 goals a game.

Team is not garbage by any stretch. They underachieved, but garbage?

Semin, Ovie, Backstrom, Green, Wideman, Carlson, Johannson, Laich, Green...then you got solid bottom 6 guys like Brouwer, Chimera, Ward.

Garbage?

they were playing like garbage before he arrived.

I do agree he needs to let the leash go somewhat, but when he tried it earlier dudes let him down. Especially Ovi.

Yes, they played like crap, but that has more to do with Caps signing/trading for a bunch of guys this offseason and trying to get an offensive team to play in a defensive system.

I think Hunter has something about him

We will see next season, but he got these dudes finally playing playoff hockey when many did not think it was possible

Part of me wants the Devils to win cause I hate the Rangers.. part of me wants the Rangers to win to see the LA/NY match up. I think that'd be great for the sport.. bring a lot of media attention and would be a fun match up.
