Now that was a game, makes the Rangers/FLA series look a little boring lol

It's 3 OT games in a row! What else do you want in the EAST? The goalies on that side have been sensational! Except Diehard always have something to complain when his team loses!

Idk I just feel a little more passion in the WCF. They got that extra hunger it seems. Terkin is really the glue that holds the Rangers together though lol. He has been amazing. And Bob too. Hard to say who wins out the series at this point. I have been back n forth lol. FLA may have the edge idk lol

I actually think FLA is a more complete team because all their key players are in their prime.

i think their "old guy" is Tarasenko at 32 and Bob at 35. Their young guys are Lundell. Almost all players in that 25-31 age group which I consider nhl prime years for SC contention

Dallas is rely on super young players like Wyatt, Stank, Harley.

shoot Robo, Miro and even Oetter don't really hit the start of prime years until NEXT YEAR.

then you got Pavelski who can't skate anymore. Suter is probably on his last year and can hardly skate. Tanev is 34. Benn and Seguin are old and their bodies are destroyed.

Dallas is deep but when you look closer their players are either over the hill or young babies.

Yeah, FLA is just too good, stronger and better all-around team. Dominated there in the 3rd and NYR was fading there. The long series along with the OT the last 3 games are slowly taking its toll on NY. FLA imposing their will and it was Igor just kept them in the game.

Agree, "fading" is the perfect word to describe the Rangers right now, except for Igor.

By the way, I peaked in the Parking lot just right now. I'm just gutted to read that JRG, one of our diehard hockey fanatics that loves the Saint Louis Blues just recently passed away. His Blues finally won the CUP in 2019 and he was so happy here. RIP brother James. Good that you get to see your team win the CUP.

Bummer to hear about JRG, it is very good that he got to see them win the Cup. It was cool to see the Blues get one:). There really is nothing like seeing your team win the Cup. Being in Vegas for the game, rally and parade was some of the most fun times. Marchy squirting champagne in my eye at the parade, whilst showing off his MVP trophy..doesn't really get better than that. Lol.

Lol seeing the Cup in person was amazing, it's so shiny and beautiful lol. That crowd outside T-mobile was just awesome. Seeing Stoney skate up to the Cup presentation ...sigh, so good. I was sure to buy one of those scarves the team was wearing. Glad I snagged one cause they sold out fast and I don't think they restocked them. I get comments on my scarf all the time:).

We will see what the Stars and Oilers are made of tonight. Very impressed with the adjustments the Oilers made last game and just dominated defensively. Will they be able to keep it up? We shall see.
