that was an awsome series, any team could have won, and game 7 was the same, they are both as good

as each other, but i'm glAd rangers did it.

What a great Game 7. The action was so intense and the Caps just wouldn't give up. Agree with talloola that it could have easily gone either way but the King held steady and Stepan stepped up in OT. Really fun game to watch. Hope that the series with TB is just as exciting. Rock on Rangers and I am very happy for Alain Vigneault.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings if the Rangers were to knock out Anaheim or Chicago!:)

i will cheer for the west now, that is 'our' turf. doesn't matter to me if anaheim or chicago

win, but anaheim is our pacific division, doesn't matter if kesler is on the team, he is an american anyway,
but we must cheer on the canadians playing, perry, getzlaf and others, they are
due for a championship they have paid their dues, they Are great plAyers, and
along with the rest of the canadians on the team, i wish them well.), same as
chicago, lots of canadians we should cheer on, including duncAn keith, i don't
hold long gruges, and neither do they, so good on them, hope they all play
well, and give us a good series.

it would be a feather in our cap if the cup came
to our division AGAIN, what could be better than that, the cup is allready in our division belonging

to l.a., but i think anaheim will have trouble trying to knock off chicago, but if chicAgo win the

cup it is 'still' in the western conference, our conference.

anaheim have 13 canadians and chicago hAve 12


i will cheer for rangers against tampa, but if tampa looks the stronger of the two, they should win,

but i think they will have a tough time beating rangers, but i won't cheer for either team in the

final, that is just ignoring our own hockey in the west.

more than hAlf, but cAnadiAN numbers As the mAjority Are dropping, don't know what your point is.

also lots of americans, swedes, cheks, A few russians, a few fins, a few others.

check the rosters.

our own division first, our own conference next are important to me, obviously not to many others.

iknow that probably 'all' eastern fans would never cheer for a western team in the playoffs, especially
the finals, they would 'all' be cheering for their own eastern team, and good on them, that is the way
to do it, but here in the west, there are those who reach way over to the east in the final and cheer
for them, ????

some canadians won't even cheer for any team if it isn't in canada, they completely forget about all
of their own cAnadians playing on those teams.
forinstance, if anaheim play tampa bAy in the final, whatever teams wins, all of the canadians who
come home for the summer, (the majority if not all), will get their chance to have the cup in their
home town, big town gatherings, they are proud to bring the cup home, i remember willie mitchell taking
the cup to port mcneil, very exciting, he played for l.a..

I have no point other than I prefer the Rangers over any other remaining teams. Lundquist, Moore, St. Louis for starters.

Does a person need a point to pick a favourite?

i make many points during our conversation,about my reasons for doing what i do, but i realize now that you really
couldn't care less about any of it, so, no you don't need to make any points, just cheer
for whomever you want, doesn't matter why, all of the importance i put on why i pick certain
teams in the playoffs, or any time of the year, doesn't really mean anything to you, you don't
think the same as i, so none of it matters at all, its just empty conversation.

Why are you so adverse to someone's opinion that doesn't coincide with yours? I don't fault you for your choices!

i'm not at all, i Accepted in my post the fact that you And i don't have anything in common when it
comes to that particulAr subject, so be it, not Adverse at all.

our conversation back and forth was definitely empty, i do realize now that you don't have any interest
in the nature of what i was explaining, your interest in the game definitely goes in a very different
direction, that is just fact, not diversity.

you should cheer for whomever you want.

BARRIE, ONT. - Police say a woman, a passerby and a vehicle were all struck with a golf club early Thursday after a man became upset by the Washington Capitals' elimination from the NHL playoffs.
Police were called to a home around at 12:30 a.m., where a woman said her boyfriend had been drinking and watching the Capitals lose 2-1 to the New York Rangers in overtime in the seventh game of their series, ousting Washington.
The pair argued, and the woman was struck with a golf club, police said.
She fled the home, but he followed, accusing her of infidelity.
Passersby stopped to intervene, and one man was hit with the golf club, as was his vehicle, police said.
A 43-year-old Barrie man wearing a Capitals jersey was arrested and charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and mischief under $5,000.
He was taken into custody pending a bail hearing.

he's just a loser, glad no one was killed or seriously injured, now he can take his punishment, hope
the girlfriend is smart enough to 'never' see him again.

Maybe a charge of attempted murder would smarten him up, but I suppose at 43 smartening up probably isn't in the cards!

tampa really showed who they are in this game, this is a very talented team who sometimes lose their
way, seems they have been trying to adjust to what it takes to compete in nhl playoffs. this series
starts over now in tampa, will be interesting.

tyler Johnson is getting to be a household name, quite a talent.
