Trettioåtta Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 ###### way for it to end. Just a random deflection Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 I was dating a hardcore Ranger fan for awhile. She and her friends treated him like many Sabres fans treat Vanek. Their message boards looked like ours. I'm not kidding, at all. "Scoring meaningless goals" and "he did nothing until he scored now he's invisible again" and so on. No wonder you made a bad bet....... Quote
... Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 first time a team has gone to 21 games and won the 21st game in history... Crazy!! ...and probably the reason the finals will go six games. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) No wonder you made a bad bet....... Never said *I* thought that. Anyway, you can't possible like the Rangers' chances outside of Lundqvist stealing it or just saying "well ALL the money is going on LA, so...." In case not everyone picked up on it, my original post on Gaborik was tongue-in-cheek cross-thread trolling from the Pat Kane thread and discussion of clutch. Edited June 2, 2014 by TrueBluePhD Quote
Iron Crotch Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Dream finals match-up for the league. The two biggest media markets make the finals. Quote
pastajoe Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Dream finals match-up for the league. The two biggest media markets make the finals. But I bet there's more Chicago fans than LA fans. Probably more people in LA will watch soccer over hockey. Quote

In case not everyone picked up on it, my original post on Gaborik was tongue-in-cheek cross-thread trolling from the Pat Kane thread and discussion of clutch. I'm just chirping you..... I actually mentally censored my original post which was going to be...."Good news for you, much like their fans, the Rangers only finish once every 54 years....." And I love the Rangers. The Kings are a similar team. Their forwards are just a tad more potent across the board, but they put more of their D in one basket. I'd take Lundqvist over Quick 92% of the time. The series odds are probably LA -145 NY +125. I shall look, but that's where it was trending.... Quote
Jsixspd Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Well, in the end the 92% likelihood that the team up 3-1 in the series wins Game 7, prevailed. I think the only chance the Rangers realistically have of winning the Stanley Cup will be if they can Kreider Jonathan Quick early in the series. Otherwise, we pretty much just saw the Stanley Cup Final tonight. Quote

All of the media are taking them, fans seem to be overwhelmingly picking them...frankly, this worries me more than the chance Lundqvist just steals it. Quote
Hoss Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Well, in the end the 92% likelihood that the team up 3-1 in the series wins Game 7, prevailed. Door. Now. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 So...if the Blackhawks win this one, it could be the frosting on Quenneville's HoF induction cake. Is this before or after the end for him in Chicago? :P Well, in the end the 92% likelihood that the team up 3-1 in the series wins Game 7, prevailed. It huuuuuuurts. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Dream finals match-up for the league. The two biggest media markets make the finals. When was the last time it was LA vs. NY in a championship in any sport? They will play it up big! Celebrities everywhere. Jimmy Fallon was already doing stuff to the Montreal mascot Youppi. Goofing on LA will be irresistible. Imagine a show bet with LA-based Jimmy Kimmel. Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 It will be a crime against hockey if one of them loses to the Rangers. I wouldn't be surprised. Lundy is on a mission. Quote
Norcal Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Gaborik...has there ever been a better rental player picked up at the deadline? Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Gaborik...has there ever been a better rental player picked up at the deadline? He is one of the better ones i've seen since i started watching hockey 14 years ago. That being said, just happy regher will have a shot at the cup. Edited June 2, 2014 by Heimdall Quote
Eleven Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Posted June 2, 2014 But I bet there's more Chicago fans than LA fans. By far. In the US, this series won't have too many viewers west of Buffalo. Quote
Cereal Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Aaaaand I automatically win the Sabrespace bracket. :thumbsup: Nice! After the Kings pulled off the comeback on SJ and you realized you were the only one to choose the Kings, it seemed you had a great chance. And now they don't even have to win the friggin thing for you to win the bracket. Quote

And now they don't even have to win the friggin thing for you to win the bracket. I can't believe not one person picked the Rangers to advance. That's amazing. Quote
Eleven Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Posted June 2, 2014 I can't believe not one person picked the Rangers to advance. That's amazing. Not really; it's not like they were favorites, and the board mantra the past two years has been about world-class goaltending, alone, not being enough. Plus I don't think anyone saw Price being knocked out. Quote

Cereal Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 Sure, but you have to figure law of averages at least one person would take a gamble. Alright, I HAD to look it up, and I found the odds of the Rangers winning the Cup (as of the start of the playoffs, i.e. when we made our brackets). This site had it at 20 to 1: http://www.oddsshark.com/nhl/stanley-cup-futures-0 There were 28 of us who filled out a bracket, so... I guess you could figure that at least one of us would've chosen them? Quote
Iron Crotch Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 When was the last time it was LA vs. NY in a championship in any sport? They will play it up big! Celebrities everywhere. Jimmy Fallon was already doing stuff to the Montreal mascot Youppi. Goofing on LA will be irresistible. Imagine a show bet with LA-based Jimmy Kimmel. There were a couple of Knicks - Lakers finals in the early 70's and a couple of Yankees - Dodgers World Series in the late 70's / early 80's. Otherwise, I can't think of any. Finals tickets are going to cost a fortune in this series! Quote
