The dreaded two-goal lead. The Rangers had made blowing it an art form before Wednesday night's Game 4 at Madison Square Garden.
"We didn't want to see the Cup coming out on our home ice," Lundqvist said. "Just the thought of it would make me sick."
The Kings got all the bounces in the first three games. Or as Henrik Lundqvist calls it, "puck luck." The Rangers had more than their share of it Wednesday.
Henrik Lundqvist made 40 saves and Benoit Pouliot and Martin St. Louis each scored as the Rangers managed to keep the Los Angeles Kings at bay in a 2-1 victory in Game 4 on Wednesday night.
Boomer and Craig got things started by talking about the Rangers, covering the Booms' beloved hockey team from all angles as they live to skate another day.
What has made the Kings so dangerous in the Stanley Cup Final – and the preceding three rounds as well – is that they are loaded with finishers on their roster -- and they have actually finished.
This is just the beginning. Vigneault's roster will continue to evolve into one that is geared toward executing his uptempo philosophies.
While the Kings are trying to close out the series, New York's focus is strictly on moving past disappointment and getting back to LA for Game 5.
After a forgettable performance last week, so bad in fact we didn't even deem it worthy to post on the website, Al Dukes was back at it again Wednesday.
With the Rangers and their fans holding on to the slightest glimmer of hope, Al Dukes booked hockey analyst extraordinaire Pierre McGuire to join Boomer and Craig.
Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals at Madison Square Garden set StubHub sales records. Game 4? Now that's a different story.
The record will show that the Rangers lost 3-0 on Monday night, but they were not outplayed. They dominated for several stretches, but simply could not get the puck by Jonathan Quick.
Mike Keenan is in that rare position where his criticism holds weight. It comes off as a lot more than simple frustration or armchair quarterbacking that fans and many in the media are known for.
Look no further than alternate captain Brad Richards as the main reason why the Rangers' power play has fizzled. His overall game has disintegrated during the finals.
The last thing the Rangers needed to do was help the Kings score. New York did so on all three goals in Monday night's Stanley Cup finals game at MSG.
