    I don't know, Quick look pretty freaking stellar last night. Yeah, he is not great, but someone want to tell me he didn't almost single handly drive that first nail into the Rangers coffin.

    They said it about Quick. He is not the best. But what he has done this playoff, is not given up the goal when it counted. He holds strong and gives his team a chance to do something.

    I have seen it. It freaking hurts watching, but it is true. That is exactly what he does. Sorry, haven't seen that from Lundqvist at all.

    His teammates would, because his inconsistency forces them to score more goals than usually necessary and play catch up hockey, like in the first 2 games. He's playing with fire. He'll probably get away with it, but don't expect me do be wowed.

    I haven't been wowed by him either.

    But he sure wowed me in game 3. Pretty shitty time for him to step it up. Fucker is from the NY area and grew up a Ranger fan. Now he has to fuck it up for the rest of us fans.

    From what I've seen of the Kings Cup run, I think Kopitar should be the front runner for the Conn Smythe, with Doughty, Quick and Carter being close behind. The thing about the Kings is that their whole team contributes on a whole, it's hard to single one guy out as the MVP.

    Agreed.

    Kopitar is a beast and Every time Doughty has the puck, I shit my pants. Just those two are scary enough, before adding Carter.

    Didn't seem to me like the team struggled to erase those two-goal leads three times this series. Sure it's an inconvenience, but what it comes down to is that the Kings are that good. And you have to admit, Quick has denied the Rangers plenty of times this round.

    I hate you right now.

    You just speak the truth.

    I am so upset about this, it's rediculous.

    I am just wondering, is there any way in gods green earth the Rangers can take this to a game 6 or 7.

    My hope is, they win tonight and some how pull a rabbit out of their ass in game 5.

    That brings us home for Game 6. That will then put all the pressure on the Kings. If we cannot win game 6 at home, then we didn't deserve it.

    Come Game 7, it's anyone's game. If we lose it there, I maybe able to hold my head up high.

    On the other hand, I know once we lose this, I will be depressed for a good 3 days to a week. So not sure if I want to be depressed now or later.

    A part of me wants them to lose so they could win it at home, but I don't wanna take any risks.

    Wow, this is pretty exciting.

    I just wonder how the refs ever saw the Kings toss that puck over the glass. They didn't see that in the over time.

    And then obviously the refs didn't see the 6 men on the ice.

    These fucking refs are FUCKING REDICULOUS!

    Seems like Lundqvist is getting lucky today, two shots could have easily beat him.
