Stanley Cup Final
Los Angeles Kings vs. New York Rangers
Brad: Los Angeles Kings
At this point its hard not to pick the Kings. They have survived all their is in the West, playing the maximum amount of games (21) against arguably 3 of the top teams in the conference (Kings excluded). The Kings are the better possession team and can ice a better lineup. The only question is in goal. Lundqvist will no doubt be solid for the Rangers and will give them a chance. Quick is coming off a bad series against Chicago and will have to step it up if LA wants to keep the score low - and known Sutter, they want it low. If Quick can perform up to Lundqvist's standards, them this series is over...uh...what's the word...fast? But until then this series may be another long one for both teams. Kings in six.
MDK: Los Angeles Kings
For the Broadway (Rangers) vs. Hollywood (Kings) Stanley Cup Final match-up, I'll be cheering for Hollywood. I pick them because I feel that they have strong defence, Jonathan Quick has gotten better from the start of the playoffs, and I believe they have great lines. The only threat the Rangers have is Lundqvist. He has performed incredible against the Penguins and Habs. When I think of it, this series reminds of me of the Calgary Flames vs. Tampa Bay Lightning 2004 Stanley Cup Final. In New York you got Martin St. Louis and Brad Richards (they played for Tampa Bay in 2004) and in L.A. you got Robyn Regehr and Darryl Sutter (they were part of Calgary in 2004). So to me, this is a rematch 10 years in the making. So come on city of angles, beat the big apple in this academy award winning series. Kings in six.
After Round 3
Brad: 10-4
MDK: 8-6
