The “Spirit of St. Louis” had to come down to earth eventually ....

Yup. And it didn’t matter if the pilot was Lindbergh or Lundqvist.

I think this series ended after Game 2 when you heard all the complaints from the Rangers about the blown call on the goaltender interference early in the third period. That struck me as an odd reaction from a team that had gone through three full rounds of the playoffs and played the best big-game team in the NHL so close in the first two games of the finals. One bad call in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals (and the Rangers still led after the Kings scored that goal), and you just pack it in and quit? It's almost like the Rangers knew they were going to get their asses kicked from Los Angeles to New York, and they just latched onto that one call as the "turning point" of the series.

What a pathetic bunch of losers.

The Rangers' Benoit Pouliot tips a point shot at the end of a PP past Kings G Quick to open the scoring in Game 4 in New York,
while Jeff Carter just fails to tap in the puck sitting on the goal line later in the 1st Period, keeping NY ahead 1-0 at the Intermission.

Maybe the Rangers live another day... but it feels like excessive measures keeping them on life support.

Quick >>> Lundquist

Shortly after Marty St. Louis put the Rangers up by 2 early in the second Period, Dustin Brown of the Kings scores on a breakaway
past New York's G Lundqvist to narrow the margin to 2-1 for the home Blueshirts over L.A. at the 2nd Intermission.

Yep, it seems like it’s taking everything the Rangers have to keep LA at bay ... unfortunately, I’ll either have to watch the Cup celebration on replay tomorrow or await Game Five on Friday should the Rangers prevail.

Justin Williams of the Kings slides the puck through a maze of players in front of & under Rangers G Lundqvist to tally the opening goal
for Los Angeles, which holds up through the first Intermission as they lead New York 1-0 in elimination Game 5 at the Staples Center.

Chris Kreider on the PP then F Boyle scores shorthanded late in Period 2 as the Rangers shock the LA crowd to lead 2-1 at the break.

Marian Gaborik scores a Kings PP goal between the legs of Henrik Lundqvist in the 3rd Period to tie the Rangers at 2 going into OT in Game 5.

Thanks Doc for the obligatory Pirates reference. It’s not hockey season without those.

I’ve never been for the Kings, they just looked better in the West but that with the Blackhawks was even. Really like to see the Rangers get something.

In 2006, I’m almost positive the Stanley Cup final game 7 between the Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames was on the Wednesday before the World Cup began. Here, the World Cup has already started and this is game 5.
