I have no problems with the Kings being champs. I just wish it wasn't at the expense of the Devils.

Devils have never been swept in a playoff series before, so we'll see if they can at least bring it back to Jersey for a 5th game. Sykora is FINALLY being put back in the lineup (he should have been there since game 1 in my opinion), and he usually does well after being moved down a line (or in this case, being a healthy scratch).

If an eighth seed can take a three nothing lead in the finals, there`s a chance the team down three zip could come back to win.

 

But it`s pretty slim.

There goes one of the guys who made me interested in hockey at all

 

I was able to see him play live maybe 20 years ago. I am grateful for that, he was an artist even then (in the twilight of his career).

 

And now I'm sad

huzzah! no sweep for the kings!

 

can we all admire how insanely clutch Adam Henrique is? He's got 4 goals this post season. 2 of which were in game 7 of the first round (one was the 2OT winner)...The third was the series clinching game 6 OT goal against the Rangers...And this one gave us the lead with 4 mins left in our season. 22 years old...Incredible player.

Devils get another win! Game 6! yay for more hockey

Devils in 7!

Devils in 7!

 

One more for Brodeur! One more for Elias! One more for Sykora! First for Parise! First for Kovalchuk! First for Zajac!

Kings really need to win game 6. I know they've been good on the road, but going back to Jersey is bad news for them.

Wow, Steve Bernier might have trouble getting a job next season. Where the heck did that King's powerplay come from, 3 goals in 5 minutes?

 

I'm excited to see a new franchise win it, and I'm happy for the oldest Californian team.

Horrible way to end the season. Gionta was also hit from behind seconds before the Bernier hit. Not blaming the refs but that game misconduct ruined the Devils season. Blame is on Bernier, but O'Rourke needs to be held responsible for missing that first call. Hopefully the Devils can resign Parise and make another run. Kovalchuk has been playing with an all but broken back since the Panthers series, so I'm excited to see a healthy run for him next season (hopefully). Congrats to the LA Kings for being the most dominant post-season contenders I've seen in my life. Great year of hockey.

Sorry your team didn't win, Krookie. There can be only one!!

Stupid way to end the season. Didn't think the Bernier hit warranted an ejection...Hopefully the Devils can resign Parise. First real "full" season with Kovy + Parise and we make it to the Finals, not bad. Great season of hockey and we managed to knock out the Flyers and the Rangers which was a load of fun.

Part of me wanted the Devils to win so Adam Oates could finally hoist the cup.

Adam Oates is a choker. So is Kolvachuk.

 

L0L, at top of the page when people were so sure NJ was making the comeback.

 

Kings were the better team so stop making excuses.

 

Grats Kings.

 

Glad these playoffs and my horrible predictions are over.

no one was sure they were making the comeback LOL

 

kovalchuk wasn't a choker, he was playing with a broken back. theres a difference

Not to Volo.

 

I wonder if the season will start on time. That could have been the last NHL game we'll see for a while.

"no one was sure they were making the comeback LOL"

 

Top of this page begs to differ with you, my good sir.

 

 

"ovalchuk wasn't a choker, he was playing with a broken back. theres a difference"

 

If he was too injured to contribute and play perhaps he should ahe sat out instead of being selfish.

 

I didn't see people here or elsewhere give Gaborik a break despite him being so injured he needed surgery right afterswards and will be out (even missing start of enxt season).

 

He choked when it mattered. At least if you believe in that stupid mumbo jumbo.

I really wish people who claim x player or y team are chokers would shut up because that nonsense is exactly that - nonsense.

Adam Oates is a choker. So is Kolvachuk.

 

I guess it's only nonsense if you're not the one saying it.

Poor Mkreku has no sense of sarcasm.

 

 

P.S. I like Kolvachuk and he's one of my fave players.

when did they change the defintion of rooting for a team to claiming something? trollolololololjustgetoutlololol

Oh he contributed. do you even watch hockey or do you just like to come here and act like an idiot for others to laugh at you?

LMAO if you think Gaborik playing injured and Kovy playing injured is even the same thing. Kovy is 10x more skilled that gaborik. Gaborik can skate fast and shoot hard, thats what makes him good. Kovy brings so much more to the table.

Yeah, same amount of cups.

 

 

P.S. Nowhere did I claim Gaborik was a better player so you are arguing something that wans't beinga rgued.

well as a Rangers fan this was supposed to be "your year" so I'd say Gaborik is more of a choker anyway! I mean, the Devils had a 40 year old washed up goal tender in net..How were they supposed to contend with Gaborik and "The King" lmfao

Yeah, but you guys have the better coach who allows his players to play. Gaborik and King, btw, were not the problem. Our overrated defence and our ****ty coach was.

 

 

And, Rangersn were predicted to barely make the playoffs if they got lucky. This was supposed to be the Pens-Flyers year. R00fles!@

Gaborik most certainly was the problem
