2014 NHL Stanley Cup final

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

So we're now at game two of the Stanley Cup finals in 2nd overtime tied at 4-4, with the LA Kings holding a 1-0 series lead over the New York Rangers.

 

This series is proving to be VERY close and could very well go to seven games at this point.

 

Anyone else following? I saw the World Cup topic, but nothing for the Stanley Cup final.

 

I'm not really cheering for either team as my Pittsburgh Penguins were eliminated in the playoffs, BUT I am enjoying the series nonetheless. Anyone here have any hockey loyalties?

 

Edit: And the LA Kings win in 2nd OT, thereby gaining a 2-0 series lead. Well played! Now time for the Rangers to get two wins at home.

Devs fan here
#tbh I'd rather the Rags win bc I dislike the Kings and their bandwagon fans that rubbed the 2012 Finals result in the face of the Devils Army (hell, some still do it)

Canucks, Jets, Leafs and Canadiens are out, so there's no one to root for.

I joke. (Though honestly, I did make a bet with a friend that the Canucks would win a Stanley Cup by 2022. Winner gets a chocolate bar.)

 

I'm rooting for the LA Kings because it's the only city in the running that's where a friend of mine is from.

I hope the Rangers win because I think they have not had the cup since 1994 if i'm right go rangers go.

I'm not a huge fan of either team playing in the finals this year, but on account of having a stronger disliking of the Kings, I'm hoping for the Rangers to pull off some amazing plays in the next couple of games, then some overall dominance in games 5 & 6.

Well, that concludes a thrilling series! And your 2013-14 Stanley Cup Champions are the LOS ANGELES KINGS!!!!

 

Congrats to the team, staff, and fans! I was hoping New Work would make it a closer series, but LA was just too good here!

 

Enjoy it!
 

Now comes another long off season...
