NY RANGERS OR L.A. KINGS?
rattdog
New York
my prediction: rangers will win their first cup in 20 years in 6 games. the kings are warriors, and are possibly the best post season hockey team I've seen in quite a while (bruins included), but 3 straight 7 game series has got to take its toll eventually. I also like the rangers coach vigneault, who I think will rise up the ranks to be one of he best nhl coaches around.
Got something to say?

Reluctantly, I pick LA Kings to win the Stanley Cup. I don't care for the style of play of the Kings but the sheer brute force of the Kings will overpower the Rangers.
As for coaching, rattdog, I give a serious edge to Kings' Darryl Sutter over Rangers' Alain Vigneault.
The clan of six Sutter brothers from Viking, Alberta is an amazing group of guys. Darryl, who could be one of the world's ugliest men, is the best coach of the 6 brothers. Catch one of his post-game press conferences for some amazingly droll humour.
The Kings have proven they can beat more physical teams (Ducks) and teams with more playmakers (Hawks), so it is difficult to argue against them winning their second cup in three years.
As for New York....1994 will be the new chant.
