Game Thread: STANLEY CUP FINAL: Los Angles Kings vs. New York Rangers

[forty_three]

I find that when I make a sick move to beat a defenseman or open something up it often doesn't take a similarly sick move/shot to beat the goalie. I don't know if they get surprised or if they get jumpy after seeing the defenseman get embarrassed or what happens, but it sure seems like I've scored a lot of soft goals after great plays away from the net.

No matter how good a goalie's technique is, when he has to change angle there is always something open that he wishes wasn't. And when you dance around a D man, the goalie always has to change angle.

I teach D men that if they are going to cheat one way to force a forward to try and dance around them, cheat to the middle, so when they make the move they go to the outside. Make the lane to the net shallower. Makes the goalie look better.

I don't think as many watch CBC or NBC now-a-days simply because CBC over here isn't in HD.

I could be wrong though.

If you get it through a regular antenna (ota) it is in hd. I usually watch all the games on CBC if I can. NBC's coverage is atrocious

AEG says if it is in the Post it must true
Ok not exactly what they said


"The unsubstantiated rumors printed in the New York Post earlier today about the potential sale of the Los Angeles Kings are false. So I'm clear, the Los Angeles Kings are not for sale, and there are no plans to sell the franchise today, tomorrow or anytime in the future. These rumors were started by anonymous sources seeking to create chaos and mischief. We remain solely focused on one goal, winning the Stanley Cup, and we will not be distracted by such irresponsible reports."

If he's even thinking of selling though, now (or more accurately, about 2 weeks from now) would be the time to do it, because the value of the franchise will never be higher.

Factor in the likelihood of a second championship in 3 years with a roster good enough to produce several more, plus the anticipated sale of the Clippers for $2B (I don't even know where to start on that).

i dont think any NHL franchise will be worth 2B anytime soon. I just cant see it, I think the only reason the clippers were sold for this were to get that racist out of the league without along drawn out lawsuit. they basically said what will it take for you to leave quietly and not sue, he said $2.5B they said we will give you $2B. ok

Im sure the new clippers owner will recoup alot of that by any NBA means necessary.

I don't think he gets anywhere near $2B, but I definitely think it drives the Kings price up significantly.

Think of it as akin to David Clarkson driving up the price for boneheaded mediocre right wingers.
