I still love the guy but yea, I thought the same thing
- eayost

That's asking for too much in that situation.

Richards is a gazillionaire living at the beach in LA, do you think he really cares at this point?

A lot of these calls are weak, especially for a game 7.
- SuperSchennBros

Agree with this too. That last 'hold' was after the puck pretty much went though. I think the guy was just keeping Shaw from going into Quick

I have more confidence in the Kings beating them. My Rangers fan friend said they outplayed the Hawks both times they played them.
- PhillySportsGuy

absolutely......I like the rangers chances, esp with no one giving them a chance

(frank) yea all star sharp

I always loved how many odd man rushes he started be using his anticipation. Flyers were always near the top of the league in SHG because of his play up top.
- PhillySportsGuy

The Flyers were feared shorthanded even before Richards. Gagne wasn't bad himself.

I would still put my money on the Western Conference winner. The level of play between these two teams is so much higher than anything the Rangers have been through.

The Rangers won't be able to play their usual 1-0, 2-1 games. They will need to score goals and face a team with just as much depth as they have.

Status update:

Still hate the blackhawks

Kings outshot 16-4 in that period. Lucky to be down only 1 goal.

So you are saying Schenn, Voracek, Simmonds and Couturier don't have the talent Carter and Richards do?
- MBFlyerfan

They don't win as much that is for sure. Couturier & Voracek are keepers but not all stars yet. The other 2 I'd be opened to moving in the right deal.

I think Sharp's shot deflected in off Clarke's front tooth
- PLindbergh31

I've been watching this entire series in distress and extreme sorrow wondering what might have been if the Flyers hadn't traded Sharp 9 years ago. I just can't move on.

Watch Richards out there.....he just can't keep up
- Just5

That's why the Coach has moved him up with Carter for a lot of the game.

Luck is a skill... the more you have the puck, and the more pucks you put on net, the more lucky breaks you're going to get.

Edit: Kings are winning the possession battle 57-43 right now 5V5.
- Tomahawk

But currently losing the only battle that matters. Goals. And what happened to only using Corsi 5 on 5 close?

how does everybody know what Snider is thinking?
- vejim

I've just heard it justified as not being fully Homer's move since Snider hated all the goalie pulling in the playoffs that season.

oh the trades this organization has made

- iladel90

You're nuts! Simmonds in my mind plays equally as well as Voracek within each player's own role. They both do, what they do very well.

Should have shot it. No dought in my mind about that

pretty dumb thing to do right getting outshot 16-4, Richards in the box that period.
