Chicago gets the lockout cup for the summer. Lets start next season off, and hope somebody fucking new wins it, damnit. Summer transactions are up soon, so this should get started fast.

Fuck LA.

I've got Saad and Dustin Brown.

Incidentally, I'm also going to just go ahead and say it: this is the best series in the past decade.

See this is what we call "bullshit OT picks". Even if you're right you get absolutely no credit for taking the most obvious guys.

And Saad isn't an "obvious guy"? The guy's been on fire, everything he touches seems to end up in the net

And Brown's been pretty dangerous tonight and has 8 SOG, but ya I guess he's not an obvious choice either.

No, both of those guys are legit threats but are not in the top 3 or even 4 probably of guys who are most likely to score for their team.

Smart money is actually on Justin Williams...

And with his assist on the overtime winner, Justin Williams is now the all time scoring leader in game 7's.

Unbelievable.

I want the Kings to win in 7 so that they can be what I assume is the first team to win it in 4 straight game 7's. How unbelievably epic would that be.

Rangers haven't been in the finals since 94 (Correct me if I'm wrong), 20 years. LA has been there within the last few years. Says right in the original post, Fuck LA.

fucking pumped I fell asleep during the first intermission...not like I wanted to see a OT game 7 or anything...

Those are two seriously good teams, I like a lot about the rangers and hank is incredible but I feel like neither of those teams would have much trouble taking the cup in 6

King are 7-0 in elimination games this cup run and I think they're the only team to win all three game 7's on the road

I suspect that it will be all 3 A's going up there and carrying it back to the team. Who hoists it first doesn't even really matter. Maybe Richards, maybe Marty, though.

I don't want the kings to win, but i don't want the rangers to win it either.

As a sabres/bills fan located 1.5 hrs north of nyc, I get it non-stop from ranger/jets/giants fans all year long. If the rangers win, i'll have to hear it even more, especially from the bandwagoning populace. However, I just don't like the Kings. So I am going to go with my home states team and will be routing for the Rangers....Rangers in 7. I want it to be a good series more than anything else.

Same, but I believe the Kings will dominate this series. We'll see.

Ready. Set. Down vote.

As a B's fan I shouldn't want the Rangers to win, but I just dislike the Kings so much more. Plus I'm slowly becoming a CHI fan (fuck the haters)so of course thats another reason why I want the Kings to lose. Either way, looking forward to some cup action.

Just put $500 down on this series...

1. $180 on King Henrik winning the Conn Smythe at 11-4, so if I win I walk away with $675

2. $320 on the LA Kings winning the series, so if I win I walk away with ~$508

Basically I'm fine regardless of the outcome unless the Rangers win and someone other than Lundqvist wins the Conn Smythe. That seems really unlikely - it actually seems slightly more likely that the Rangers would lose and Hank would pull a JS Giguere and win the MVP anyway. In which case I'd take home $1183. But just in case something weird happens I also have a bonus bet that cost me nothing on Marty winning the Conn, which pays out $750.

Holy shit where did you get those odds? I feel like that is an unbelievable bet on both sides, I don't really understand how they are giving out those kinds of odds considering almost everyone thinks that the kings will win (coming from a rangers fan)

I love the Staples' centre strategy. Make a "go kings go" chant that is so annoying the fans are forced to try their best at cheering louder than it. Brilliant.
