Why haven't they won ONE game? They couldn't win on thier home ice. Please save the whining with the cheese. Gee whizz, ref's this, ref's that.....

They had LA on the edge of collapse, then the officials turned all around with so many bad calls or lack of calls!!!  

Rangers are clearly a better team.

I agree, so many bad calls, especially goalie interference on a key goals for LA, reply clearly show Lunquist was interferred.

I don't now what game you're watching but the Kings are clearly the dominant team. It just happens to be a nightmare of a matchup for the Rangers. They just don't have the size, depth or skill to beat the Kings in a seven-game series. The Western Conference really toughened them up. There are at least 4 teams in the west that would beat the Rangers in a series. Unfortunately the one team that could have matched up with the Kings is the Bruins. I don't think that they could win a seven game series but they are better equipped to deal with the physical style that the Kings dish out. The Kings are relentless. They are big, strong, young, disciplined and well coached. You may think that it's just luck, the random roll of the puck or the refereeing but they continue to win when they need to. This team will just not give up. I've been a Kings fan since the beginning. They've had some tough times. Give them their due here, because they have really earned it. Their style may not always be pretty but its effective.

Where Lundqvist was clearly interfered with (I didn't see it on replay, but live), resulting in a momentum changing goal, was clearly the key play of this series.  It established that LA would be getting the breaks, and that the Rangers needed everything to go their way, and that Henrik would have to be at the top of his game, in order to win.  It also established that these things were not in place, thus the tainted victory in Game Two, and the dust-up in Game Three,

As far as Game Four goes, I won't be watching...I have a two hour tomorrow night with one of my faves, so I'll catch up with it later...  

But, if I were betting in Vegas on this...  :(

Losers lament! They disallow that goal and the Kings still find a way to win or the Rangers find a way to loose that game. That's just the way they are. They refuse to loose when it matters. You can do that when your good. You sound like a good fan. I wouldn't pass up game four for any woman. Maybe you can ask her to put it on for you. Probably ruin your date though. Saw my lady tonight ..... After the basketball game.

I admit, I don't know much about Hockey other than I like Bailey the mascot and that hockey players are sexy.  If the Rangers are the better team, why are the Kings leading the series by 3-0?  Please don't blame it all on bad calls, that is just an excuse.

 Rangers are clearly a better team.

f you want to say a brutally bad call blatantly cost the Rangers a game (and even that's a big stretch b/c one call should never make a difference in the outcome), fine. But to say the Rangers are "clearly the better team" down 3-0, is just idiotic. "Clearly better teams" do not find themselves down 3-0 and on the verge of being swept.  

If you are "clearly the better team" find a way win a game or two. No excuses. I'm a Ranger fan, but let's be fair. The Kings have played better and more importantly have made the most of their opportunities (whether by their efforts or the Ranger's mistakes). Where everyone thought the Rangers had an advantage, in goal, has not been the case....Quick has clearly outplayed the King (singular here).

Can the Ranger's come back? Of course. The Kings came back themselves in the first round from 0-3. It will be a monumental challenge, but that's why we play the games

The Rangers are clearly the better team.   Really????  Then why has every analyst on ESPN and NBC said that the Rangers would have been underdogs against the Sharks, Ducks and Blackhawks?  Kings beat all of them...on the road.  Everyone has said all along that the Stanley Cup winner would come out of the Western Conference.

The Rangers have no answer for the Kings depth. The only area where the Rangers have the edge is team speed, but toughness, depth, and superior goal tending neutralize that.  

Kings win the cup tonight!!

Not so fast!!!! LA and all of its Luck just ran out! Even the officials new enough to stay out of last nights game!!
LA will have to go back to some of its old tricks!

Although the Rangers are playing much better than I thought they would, I thought the Kings would win in 5 all along.  We will see after the next game.

Sure do love the Stanley Cup Playoffs!!!
