And it's Mount Los Angeles.

Anyone else think LA's endurance will be a factor for them? 3, 7 game series takes a toll on any team

This could be one for the ages. Gaborik wants the
Cup badly. Lundqvist wants the Cup badly. OH Boy.
It's gonna be a wild ride.

Now we have to hear that annoying Cartman chant.lol

I think fatigue could be a factor for them sc, but we have to take advantage of it. That is why game 1 is a huge key for us. Of course not a must win in game 1, but we obviously must split games 1 & 2 to have a shot, and in theory our best chance is game 1 as they come off an emotional game 7 OT win and fly back to LA from Chicago again. That is the game to win out there between the first two IMO.

Logic says the Kings will have to be a little tired after 21 games, only two days off, and winning a very tough and emotional series in the WCF. Game 1 should be a great shot to take one in LA before they get settled into this series, similar to Montreal. We'll see if we get it done.

This.

Also, being complete underdogs can only be to our advantage....

Gm 1 is the best chance @ taking one in LA. There are 2 days off before Gm 2 so any fatigue factor is no longer valid.

 

[chuckd3534]

For sure 31. Some will disagree, but we need to be 1-1 back to NY. I just see no way we go down 2-0 and then win 4 of 5 games, double so when you factor in our struggles at home and their prowess on the road. We need to be 1-1 back to NY, and game 1 is the best chance to get one out there you'd think.

We'll see.

 

[NYR31]

Neither team is all that good at home, so i expect 1-1 after 2 and 2-2 after 4.

 

[chuckd3534]

I agree. I think that is the best bet here. Bottom line to me is we come home 1-1 and I think we are right there with a fair shot to win the series. We'll see if we get it done.

 

[Ranger71]

Like the first game of the season maybe they can catch them off in the first of the series. I don't buy much of the tired thing but maybe it has a slight effect in game 1. 2-2 and a best of three would about all you could ask as a Ranger fan.

 

[Messiah717]

They're a solid team. They're not supernatural. Just play the damn games.
