Kramerica Industries Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 True to form, Rangers win the game 2-1 and the series 4-3.Huge props to the Washington Capitals, who played 13 1-goal games this post-season, which is a staggering number when you think about. Braden Holtby's a keeper. But, King Hank is the best the NHL has to offer, and he is now only four wins away from the Cup Final. And Brad Richards, a winner and clutch hero of Champions past, scored less than two minutes in and is now 4-0 in Game 7's. Keep 'em coming, Brad.New Jersey vs. New York. Let the battle for Hudson River supremacy begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 For the next two weeks its going to be hockey insanity in New York and New Jersey and I will be there for Game 4. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knnhrvy16 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Well, now that the matchups are set...What I WANT to happen:Phoenix over Los AngelesNew York over New JerseyWhat I THINK will happen:Los Angeles 4, Phoenix 2New Jersey 4, New York 3And if that be the case...oh please, go Kings.But really, go Coyotes and Rangers. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

njmeadowlanders Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Thank. God.Phew.Also I was able to swap Game 2 @ MSG (since I'll still be in San Diego) for Game 3 in Newark. Not quite the same but playoff hockey is playoff hockey, plus I get to be the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think New York is better than New Jersey.It's a matter of whether the Rangers will still be a little weary after having played 14/14 games this post-season. As I am apt to do, I'm picking a six game series win for New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I'll have to say that was a good series between the Caps & Rangers, both played their hearts out & I got nothing but respect for the Rangers. I still say Holtby needs to be our starter going in.Let's see what happens tomorrow, when the Conference Finals begin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Nice to see such professionalism and cordiality between Rangers/Caps fans in this hard won series. As a Blackhawks fan, I have no idea what the hell that's all about. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

knnhrvy16 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 My concern for New York is the back-to-back seven gamers, mostly. The Rangers were the superior team in both series I felt, yet both the Sens and Caps still pushed them to the brink. I do think they can make it a good series, I just don't know if I feel they're a safe pick though. It doesn't help their case that New Jersey has played well as of late, and has rest. I hate to even think of it, and it goes completely against my nature, but I just feel that I have to go with the Devils.I do hope the Rangers prove me wrong, though. I'm definitely going to be rooting for them. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only.

Don Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 *sigh* The Caps fought hard to the end, showed much heart. Joel Ward...

I still say Holtby needs to be our starter going in.Let's see what happens tomorrow, when the Conference Finals begin...Yes it was...you cannot possibly have a 7 game series where one team is that much more superior, because if there was one it'd end in 4 or 5.And I heard 93% of the series was played as a tie or a 1-goal differential. That's nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The Sharks-Wings series essentially came down to one goal games last year in the 7 played. The question is what Devils will show up; the ones that struggled with the Cats, or the ones that shredded Philly. My predictions are:Rangers in 7Kings in 6(Hope I'm wrong in this one)Also one year ago today was the most agonizing game of my life. How the mighty have fallen one year later.

njmeadowlanders Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Go Rangers. It's 2 hours from SD > LA, 5 from SD > PHX. If we (yeah, we, not they) somehow pull it out, I'm going to either destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same but playoff hockey is playoff hockey, plus I get to be the enemy.I LOVE being an enemy fan in the crowd.There's something to be said about being "that guy" who is opposed to what 95% of your surroundings is for. It's a great feeling. Especially in a rivalry setting such as the Rangers and Devils, and ESPECIALLY with such high stakes.'Tis why I was disappointed in 2010 when the Rays lost to the Rangers in the ALDS. God I would've loved a Yankees/Rays ALCS - I had gone to all nine regular season games, and would've gone to the ALCS games as well.Oh well - back to hockey...
