Rangers in 6
Yotes in 7

JMO

WOLF · Post by **WOLF** » Sun May 13, 2012 4:39 am

Rangers in 7, a la 1994
Kings in 6

Gary Bettman will get his bi-coastal final, and still the news will be relegated to page 6 in the NY and LA paper sport sections.

Tommy - are the Blueshirts front page news there, or is everyone still dissecting the Knicks and Mo's injury?

I'll never get the Flyers. One series they can look like the 74-75 Flyers, the Habs of the late 70's, and the mid-80's Oilers all rolled into one, the next they look like the Colorado Rockies, complete with Hardy Arstrom in nets!

I thought it was going to get better when they kicked Clarke out and brought Homer in. Guess the bad personnel decisions run deeper than that.

My predications - the opposite of whatever Wolf said!

Devils/Rangers - Down 3 games to 2, Callahan guarantees a victory in game 6........ um,Rangers in 7

Kings/Coyotes - Smith outduels Quick over 7 consecutive 2-1 games.

The Coyotes then go on to win the Cup. The Stanley Cup Parade will begin at Glendale City Hall and will end at La Colisee parking lot.

Wolf,not sure how your pool is going,but ours is already sewn up.So many Pens,Canucks,Blues and Bruins were picked in the 1st 2 rounds that a guy who picked nothing but Rangers,Kings and Coyotes has run away and hid with the title...after 2 rounds.

FTR, I've still got 5 of 16 players remaining.I'm entrenched in second place,but unless Taylor Pyatt, Anisimov,Boyle or Girardi start poppping hat tricks,I've got no chance of catching him. Mike Smith won't get me more than 8 points the rest of the way.

I'm only about 12 points off the pace, with 4 of 12 players still alive (Hagelin, Del Zotto, Kovalchuk, and Henrique), but there's a few guys between me and the lead. I won't be in the mix. I didn't amass enough points in the early rounds, due to upsets, and the guys in the top spots took fliers on Kings and Yotes and it's paying off for them, plus they have a couple of Rangers and Devils for good mesure.

The TV ratings in Phoenix were 3 times higher than Los Angeles for Game 1.

LA to Quebec?

WOLF · Post by **WOLF** » Tue May 15, 2012 2:51 am

Hank gets all the credit, but the Rangers are set for years to come with Girardi, Staal, McDonagh (

), and Del Zotto, rounded out by a couple of vets, on D.

That might be the first time I've seen the Clippers logo. Or the Sacramento Kings for that matter.

How embarrassing that they can't even get the logo right for a team that is 3 wins away from the cup final?

...asking the dudes in Rangers jerseys if they'd suck Lundqvist's dick was a nice touch.

Yeah, they're starting to get the back page of the Post and Daily News. Yankees suck and the Knicks are done. About f'n time they got behind them.

Damn, The Coyotes are ruthless. Still...GO KINGS!

Man the West has been boring since the first round.

I bet the Canucks are feeling a bit better about themselves as well!

The whole team is looking really good. I truly never thought a team with Kovalchuk would win the cup, but I just might be wrong.

I'm on the Devils bandwaggon. Screw the kings!
