also funny thought i had posted on my FB last night. my preseason prediction for the rangers was to advance to the ECF then win it all next year. 1994 the rangers beat the devils in the ecf then won the cup. the following year the devils won the cup in a small lock out season. the devils are trying to make history winning the cup, after they beat the rangers in the ecf. next year we are looking at a small lock out to start the season. just saying...LOL

Last time the Devils beat the Panthers in the first round, they won the cup (2000).
Last two times the Devils beat the Flyers in the playoffs, they won the cup (1995 and 2000).

Honestly, I highly doubt he returns. We have six defensemen on the NHL roster (Tallinder, Volchenkov, Greene, Fayne, Larsson, and Zidlicky) signed for next season, although Fayne is an RFA. Salvador should easily get the same amount as Volchenkov, 4.25 million. You know he's going to use Volchenkov as his bargaining point, and he's better than him. The only way he stays is if Volchenkov, Tallinder, Greene, or Zidlicky, goes via trade, or else it's going to cost too much. The only likely one to go is Volchenkov, anyways.

haha, well if it means history could repeat itself with the teams swapped, i'll take a devils cup this year for a rangers one next year. sorry kings fans. i am pulling for you, but if it could mean a rangers cup i will take the devils winning this year...even with making history

I think Greene will get traded. He's been awful, but especially if Pointy Ears becomes coach in Edmonton. Remember how much he loved Greene when he was our coach?

Getting really tired of seeing people call this finals boring. No one appreciates good defense and goaltending. If you can't appreciate that then your not a true hockey fan.

These last two have been boring. The first three were the best hockey I've ever seen.

Parise

I get to watch another game.....

agreed. the devils have got to be the most boring team to ever grace the ice. with their trapping tactics and clutching and grabbing, it's a wonder how the crowd even stays in the game with the lack of action. i guess you really can't blame them because of the hole they got themselves into by trying to play exciting hockey. their team just isn't capable of that, they lack the skill to do anything other than trap. the kings on the other hand have been playing the most exciting hockey i have ever seen in my entire life. they are truly something to marvel over. i know their size and skill level will over come the devils snooze fest tactics on monday night and they will raise the cup in front of their devoted home crowd. it will be a glorious night for this historic kings franchise, and yet another banner to ad to the many kings banners hanging from the rafters.

LA is more boring

no chance by any stretch of the imagination is that possible. which is why i believe parise will sign with la after they win the cup on monday. i can't really blame him, i know kovy is kicking himself for signing with the devils.

i don't understand why they keep trying to win. the cup belongs to the kings, they are one of the greatest teams of all time, in any sport for that matter. we do get to see one more game of parise with the devils, so i guess that is a plus to being crushed in the scf.

Remember when the flyers were supposed to crush the devils?

Agree completely. I think the Kings let NJ win these last two just to show the hockey world how boring NJ truly is when they win and how greatful they need to be to the almighty Kings. NJ are peaseants and the Kings were just giving their minions something to be slightly happy about so they wouldn't revolt had the Kings won 4-0.

They'll be back to their tyranial control come Monday.

I knew the Kings were oppressive landlords all along. I hope our peasant revolution succeeds because we will be killing all collaborators after we seize control.

Are the kings having trouble facing....... adversity?



Half way there! Now 10-1 in games 4 through 7

Hell yeah. I only pay attention to hockey for the blogs.

Hockey is boring to begin with; throw in the most boring SCF ever (Clouts said it so it must be true) and these blogs are the only thing keeping me from snoozing.
