IF ILYA BRYZGALOV IS SO GREAT WHY HAS HE BEEN ON FOUR TEAMS IN TEN YEARS: THE NHL 2011-2012 THREAD (INCLUDING VANCOUVER RECONSTRUCTION, BOSTON HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

btw waht are you willing to pay to see the kings in the finals at the garden/rock?

idk I've thought about it. maybe 500 bux if it was a potential clinching game

which means either game 5 or 7

you might wanna root for the devils imo

I am totally rooting for the devils but I don't think that's in the cards. I mean the rangers have the potential to wipe los angeles off the face of the earth

also these assholes have to win one more game to even have this conversation

i dunno. i haven't seen the kings much at all, but i think they have at least as much offensive talent as the rangers (i.e. maybe not a whole lot). and the caps took them to seven with a rookie goalie.

they'll have to practice their picks, of course, lol torts

xxposts:
either just a diehard R's fan or Jimmy hasn't been paying attention to the western conference side of the playoffs, imo

I grew up with the LA Kings so I know what I speak of. They will find a way to fuck this up.

Devils-Kings will go 7 no matter what. Kings would probably take Rangers in 5, especially if Lundquist keeps the .500 save percentage he sported last night.

I may fly out to LA for one of the Devils-Kings games out there.

@ Jimmy The Mod two posts upthread

i, too, grew up with the kings and what difference does that make? for the last month they've been the best team in the nhl basically with the stingiest netminder. i just don't understand what "rangers have the potential to wipe...." is even supposed to mean at this point

hubris

fair enough
i'd srsly consider taking a couple days off work for a game (live in sf) but i'm not enough of a fan of scalpers and esp their $400 tix. that comment stuck in my craw and seemed a little bit odd 'cuz the Devils have kinda dominated the R's as far as forecheckingways throughout the series anycares.

you are not incorrect, but. it's okay for *me* to say that, as a non-kings fan, but not you staring at 45 years of futility.

i suppose i'll root for the kings over either the devils or rangers, but the presence of mike richards bugs me. fuck that guy.

if the devils beat the rangers, i hope marty gets tix for roy.

Henrique vanquishes the ghosts of matteau and messier. I may be biased but the better team-by far-won. That power play goal by kovalchuk was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my lifetime of watching sports.

SUCK IT TORTS!

Torts is one of the all time douchebags

Keep chewing

I just re read this entire thred it's been so magical it can only end in tragedy

Wings schedule presser tomorrow w/ Ken Holland and Nick Lidstrom -- could this be the end?

I wouldn't be surprised...

apparently so

doc: 'here's [random king] hoping for carter . . . but we all have hopes, don't we?'

KOPITAR

Parise probably had nightmares about the 1001 chances he had to end that game last night. And who was that impostor in the Kovalchuk sweater?

oh shii

what a strange ot goal. the red sea parted for a little flutter shot.....

that's what most OT goals look like iirc

except for anze's

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahSYxgTrCXY

the Kings haven't had a goalie since Hrudey moved to San Jose, and even before that it was questionable.

well i think that will about do it

15-2 in the playoffs (as an eight seed, no less)

Because I remember Warren Rychel ffs...
