Pile Of Snow Makes Fantastic Save On Kings' Potential Game-Tying Goal
The first star of Game 4 has to go to the pile of snow in Henrik Lundqvist's net. It pulled off the Rangers' most crucial save....
Jonathan Quick Saved Everything And Salvaged Some Respect
The odd thing about this series, where L.A. finds itself up 3-0, is that it's never felt particularly dominant. The Kings have clearly been the better team, but Games 1 and 2 could have gone either way, and everything save the scoreboard says last night's 3-0 win was fortuitous. ...
Kings One Win Away From Stanley Cup; Rangers Sliding On Their Faces
The first thing that grabs the eye is, obviously, just how close this came to crossing the line and giving the Kings a 4-0 lead. Not really a big deal, but with 10 minutes left in the game a three-goal lead is not insurmountable. A fourth goal, though, would have emptied the Garden and packed Penn S...
Kings Score Buzzer-Beater Goal To End First Period
The Kings took their first lead of the series just before time expired in the first period of Game 3. After coming up empty on the power play, the Rangers seemed willing to skate the period out and head to the locker room for the first intermission. But with about five seconds left, the Kings carrie...
The Kings Beat The Rangers In Double Overtime
For the second consecutive game, the Kings and Rangers went to overtime and, for the second consecutive game, the Kings won. LA beat the Rangers 5-4, in double overtime to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. ...
The Marty St. Louis Special
This one-timer from Derek Stepan to Martin St. Louis gave the Rangers a brief 3-1 lead in the second period. Three minutes later, Willie Mitchell scored on the power play to bring the Kings back within one. 11 seconds after that, Derick Brassard stuffed a bouncing puck past Jonathan Quick to put the...
L.A. Kings Put Will Ferrell "Go Kings Go" Video Sign Outside MSG
There is a monstrous video screen with Will Ferrell's mug shouting "Go Kings Go," and other ravings about losing his mind, in the shadow of the Empire State Building. The video screen is on the corner of 33rd and 7th avenue, one of the busier intersections in New York. For those unfamiliar with the ...
For 20 Minutes, The Kings Were Historically Dominant
The third period of L.A.'s eventual overtime victory was the Rangers' worst nightmare come to life—the Kings dominating possession as they have all year, forechecking the life out of New York, and raining down shot after shot. How overwhelming was it? Unprecedentedly so....
Did The Rangers Hang Dan Girardi Out To Dry?
Work backwards through the sequence preceding nearly any goal, and you'll find one really basic error that led up to it. You didn't have to look very far for last night's winner: A slapstick turnover from Dan Girardi left Justin Williams all alone in front, and just like that—four seconds from whiff...
The Stanley Cup Will Come Down To The Best Team Vs. The Best Player
The Rangers and Kings are in the Stanley Cup Final because of depth, since this is not basketball, where a small number of very good or great individual players can drag a team to postseason success. You need top-flight players to win championships in hockey, obviously, but just as necessary are low...
Guy Buys $1 Stanley Cup Tickets; StubHub Takes Them Away
Thanks to yet another StubHub seller who is bad at decimal places, a New York Rangers fan was able to purchase a few tickets for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals for $1 each (the purchase came with a $8.20 service fee, but who's complaining?). Unfortunately, this lucky Rangers fan probably won't end...
The Nationals And Rangers Both Challenged The Same Play
A little bit of baseball replay history, and an old-fashioned inexplicable Ron Washington decision, all on a simple stolen base attempt....
Sad Canadiens Mascot In Rangers Jersey Is The Saddest Mascot
Oh my God, Youppi! What have they done to Youppi!? You would think it's impossible to look so wretched while covered in electric-orange spaghetti fur—and have a name that includes an exclamation point and is literally French for "yippee!"—but then you've never been Youppi! in a Rangers jersey all al...
How Henrik Lundqvist Lugged The Rangers To The Finals
It wasn't so long ago that the Rangers were staring down death, rather than refusing to touch a trophy. Through three-quarters of the postseason, even after getting by the Canadiens with relative ease, they've had to play four elimination games: one against the Flyers, and three in a row against Pit...
Welcome To The Henrik Lundqvist Show
It's tough to recognize goalie greatness just by watching. That sounds dumb, but the nature of the job is that the best of the best announce themselves only over the long-term. Spectacular saves can be made by bad goalies on any given night, and the corollary, a lack of soft goals, by definition ind...
Henrik Lundqvist Comes Up With An Unreal Save To Prevent A Habs Goal
The Rangers are leading 1-0 in a potential final game of the series against the Canadiens, and goalie Henrik Lundqvist deserves thanks for his part with a tumbling save in the second period to keep Montreal scoreless....
BBC Announcer Goes Bonkers As QPR Scores 90th-Minute Winner In Play-Off
Queens Park Rangers is returning to the Premiership after Bobby Zamora's last-minute goal dashed Derby County dreams and sent BBC Radio London announcer Phil Parry into heart palpitations....
Miguel Cabrera Touches Adrian Beltre's Head; Beltre Flips Out
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hates when anyone touches his head. When someone touches his head, a switch flips, and he gets so angry. He's always been like this, and it's always been hilarious. So, when Miguel Cabrera touched his head during a break in play last night, Beltre was unsurprising...
Everything is happening: Brandon Prust will have his over-the-phone DOPS hearing today, Derek Stepan is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery for a broken jaw, and now Daniel Carcillo has received a 10-game suspension for physically abusing an official. No matter Prust's suspension, I'd say the ...
The Habs' Luck Is Real, And It's Spectacular
The Canadiens' 3-2 overtime victory in New York puts them right back in this series, a close-fought game that devolved into an absolutely wild final five minutes or so. Three goals in short succession sent it to OT then decided it—punch, counterpunch, sucker punch—and all three were deflections that...
