Seems like everyone likes rangers game 1 and kings series. That doesn't normally work out.......

Think everyone on NY due to more rest but they still have to fly cross country. Not sure any advantage either way

Nice Brackets badge.

Thanks - not sure how long it will last but will enjoy it while I have it!!

The first flight after that long off won't be bad it will be the one back to NY where you don't have as much time to recover that I think is more difficult - going west you get the time change and all that to help out and NY had plenty of time to get ready for that flight. Think the fresh legs are obviously important - will be a fun series either way

good point, another unknown is how LA does with home ice advantage. Only 2nd time they've had it in a series since 1992. This years team especially seems to play their best when backs against wall

[BadLuckSanta]

Why is everyone in agreement of Rangers game 1?

This is the most rest kings have had all post season. Game 2 against Chicago was the second most rest they got and they smacked the Blackhawks pretty good in Chicago.

I'll be on kings -1.5 first game

[manny24]

I'm heavy on NY

everybody knows you stay West side carnal and get paper

la corona por vida guey

know you better than that ese

[ebelisle22]

line for series is a joke. so are you kings backers.

What should the line be?

Up to -175 at some places

[wikkidinsane]

kINGS GOT IT EASY 4 GAMES TO 1

[Derka2014]

Rangers will win at least 2 games and everyone will change their tune just like OKC and Spurs.

Shoulda locked it in last round when Montreal had their 3rd starter goalie in net. woulda been better odds.

[TankHankerous]

It's harder to travel from the west to east coast rather than east to west because of jet lag.

That being said Rangers in 6

[lovetobet]

I seriously dislike the Kings but the way they are playing it seems unlikely they are going to lose. The Kings went through better teams than the Rangers hands down and showed such heart, not sure the Rangers can get it done, even though they are a good team and have been over looked in these playoffs. The series line seems about right to me; 5D has Kings -150 and Rangers +140. I'd say there is more value with the Kings line but I don’t see tons of value in either line. Be looking at single games and live bets.

[PAYTON20]

It won't be an easy sweep. Should be competitive series. Lund will be tough to beat. In the end the Kings have too much firepower and their goalie ain't too shabby.

Kings in 6

[homie1975]

this kings LOCK talk is nonsense, as is Kings in 5. series goes 6 minimum IMO

when you have a goaltender like LUNDY anything is possible and you don't have to score many goals to win because he's so damn good at stopping the puck,

i picked Kings over the Hawks and posted it here but lets face it the Kings got some shit goals in that game 7 especially the last one,

RANGERS WILL BE READY

[MoneyLineDawg]

Make no mistake about it, the Kings are much more physically dominant and just overall the better team throughout....Even the Rangers biggest strength in Lundquist is pretty much negated when you got Quick

Only thing stopping me from betting huge on them is the Rangers just seem like that team of destiny this year

It happens randomly in all sports....Just that one team that isn't all that great but makes a deep run and seemingly has everything go right for them....

But I do think the buck stops here in the finals as the Kings are beyond battle tested at this point

[Vegas39]

As far as destiny Could say same for Kings money line . Winning 3 game 7's on road

True but the Kings actually have the talent to pull it off and just happened to play 3 really tough teams, so game 7s were kind of expected

I hope they win and think they will....Call it Kings in 5

Im thinking 6 not sure as a Kings fans my heart can take another game 7

To New Yorks credit they rallied together after Martin St. Louis lost his mom, then got a break with the Price injury . Should be a good series

[paco]

Under 5 game 1?

[Cuse0323]

Under 5 game 1?

Like Kings/Over myself...Hank starts out slow and Quick lets in a couple. 4-2

[nyplayer33]

i played hockey myself and can tell you the rest factor means little. If rest and such were a big issue, why arent there alot of people making money on a team playing 3 games in 4 nights in reg season??? I think the kings are just a bigger,better,more talented team and def has an edge. As for the 7-0 in game 7's there is a flip side to this, if they were that good why r they going to a game 7..lol.. I played 2 games in a day and that mattered at age 14..within 24 hrs i was back to myself.Hae we forgotten they r the best conditoned athletes and takle supplements etc..they r fine

the stats of teams entering the cup finals with 3 or more days rest are not good. hockey is a game where momentum really matters and ny had a lot of it especially when they really came together with the st louis thing and won 5 games in a row. but by the end of the last series they did slow down a bit and give credit to montreal for contributing to that and putting up a decent fight. i think la is in a better position jumping straight into the finals off a great win where every key player is playing great and scoring goals as opposed to ny who could be a bit rusty and does not have as much punching power. the goalies even out but at least quick never had to be pulled in the last series... Kings in 5

Hank is negated by quick ??? C'mon now

[Big Bear]

Forget trying to cap the NBA Finals

Hammer Kings series price and call it a day

Rangers can't score i like it.

[vividjohn45]

No worries Mayan I'm not the usual brokedikk, I actually win my lock threads

Rangers make for a good dog. Not sure

[Vegas39]

Hank is negated by quick ??? C'mon now

Everyone thinks Quick overmatched but yet he found a way to win vs teams that were First,second and 6th in goals a game

[vividjohn45]

The kings lost like 10 in a row rite b4 the break. The got hot 2nd half but are a low seed in west becuz of the long losi.g streak. All those long series are a turn off at -150. They had those cuz they did not play good in reg season. And had to play as dog in all series in West. The high price really bothers me. For a bastard dog all the way through. Rangers price has value due to kings reg season and playoff history.

[vividjohn45]

Rangers went 6-4 on road in playoffs. They were down 3-1 to pitt and won game 5 and 7 in pitt. I wuldnt think kings shuld be priced so high with a road threat team in rangers. Ill take rangers based on incorrect pricing

Biggest asshole on this forum with regards to NHL.

[bob6199]

Rangers for me, they are always underrated and it's showing in this thread. BTW how bad of a coach is Torts, the guy who coached Vancouver has taken this team to the final when he could never jesus he should never be allowed to be a head coach again after he sucked in Vancouver this year..

[TheDonger]

East was the minor league, west got the real guys. No idea why the line is only -150/-160.

Yeah a bunch of kids playing hockey is the same as playing in the NHL

[garyking]

Freeeeeee $$$$$$$$$$$$...... KINGS. Got em at 16-1 when they were behind in the SJ series
