This series once again shows how fortunate one has to be to win a series. Puck luck is real. Looking at the series as 3-0 in favor of Kings is not the whole story. Don't get me wrong, Kings are an awesome playoff team ( two trips to the SCF in three years and one WCF ), but there is no way Rangers are getting dominated. A bounce here and there and Rangers could be up in this series. I never had the feeling that Kings are destroying the Rangers. Sometimes, that's the way it goes. I recall our ECF against Boston last year where we got swept. Besides game 1 where they beat us clean, we were in on every game, yet the puck never crossed the line. Rask was great but he was beat numerous times only the post came to his rescue. I am afraid its over for the Rangers this time. Maybe, they win game 4, but don't see them coming back. If they do, you know, they will go down as the greatest story of hockey in 80 yrs.
Never been a fan of Nash. I can see him going to Toronto.
