You're right, winning three straight games in OT followed by a methodical, tactically impeccable shutout is completely the opposite of "earning" it.

There must have been some error in your word processor. King Henrik does not make mistakes like the lesser people. All 11 LA goals in this series have come on uncalled goalie interference because the refs are out to screw the Rangers. This message is a recording. Press "1" to speak to an operator.

You guys have got good hockey fans in St. Louis. Underrated town for the sport. Lots of passion. I'm in Cleveland, though, so these discussions about karma just zoom right over my head.

The Kings-Blues matchups were some of my favorite playoff series the last couple of years, though I don't imagine either is a pleasant memory for you, particularly the 2012 version. No one saw the Kings coming that year.

I'm not the slightest bit bored.

Getting to the Finals is an accomplishment.

He's a high risk, high reward guy is more accurate than "mediocre" is what I was getting at. Writing Quick off as "average" and assuming he won't be your problem tonight has always been a sucker's game, no matter what year you're talking about.

Someone said way back in the SJ series, they play the same no matter what the score is or how many goals they're down. And they never stop coming at you. You're right, nobody is going to look at this team and see the mid-70s Habs or the mid-80s Oilers. They're not playing a beautiful game and no single player is…

No. They still haven't come to terms with the fact that hockey is played in the Western Conference.

So booing your own team in the Stanley Cup Finals is a thing now, I guess. But LA doesn't deserve the Cup because the people out there "don't understand hockey." OK.

They're too busy revising all their old posts about Quick being a lower-tier goaltender.

You mean like the Rangers crowd tonight?

No, we got beat pretty thoroughly that year by a better team. You don't lose a series 4-1 because of poor officiating.

You've never been to a Kings game. You've heard a lot of lousy comics talk shit about LA fans. There's a difference.

Considering the visiting team has won about as often as the home team in these playoffs (and most of them going back the last ten years), I'd say 2-0 is a fairly large deficit no matter where the subsequent games are being played.

Yeah, that's probably exactly it. If I watched more Rangers games, your whining would all make sense in context.

Hilarious.

You misread that article.

Hark, a loser.
