    Well, they played against a lot of good goalies in the regular season and seemed to do just fine. And everyone was taking about how Mike Smith was on fire and having such a good season and he got clowned.
    Maybe the question should be how will those goalies do against all the AVs snipers??

    I am an admitted AVs fan. I have no idea what will happen in the finals. Both eastern teams are tough with solid goal tending.
    What I do know is that anyone who knows anything about hockey can obviously see that the AVs are a deep and highly talented roster capable of beating any team. So, the implication that they just swept two teams and beat another due to weaker goal tending appears to be a bitter cop out.
    Yes, we will see as you say. But, I’d much rather be in this position as fan.

    Toronto fan eh?

    You're pretty angry for someone whose team is in the final.

    The Avs are scary. They decimated Edmonton & will be very tough for either Eastern team. It's my sad experience the team that gets hot and plays with grit wins.

    In '14 the Rangers won the Pres cup, L.A. squeaked in on the last day of the season. Quick was a wall, the rest of the kings were on fire, it went to game 7 in N.Y. & L.A. won.

    SAD

    A bunch
    Mike Smit did Mike Smith things - played fairly well in Round 2 against the Flames, but in 1 and 3 was just all over the map and he finally got frazzled by the Avs. This wasn't like the Oilers sweep last year where the Jets got many more breaks, the Avs were the better team, but they are in for a HUGE shock when they go up against Igor or Vasy, those 2 are on a different level then anyone else. Smith had a high save percentage, but if you watched him play all playoffs he was not good. He has the ability to get hot, but he just never really did.

    There's no question the Avs will not score nearly as much in the finals, it's just whether the other team can put up 2-3 on them to be able to win

    Quite the contrary. I’m pumped. I’ve responded to a member who implied the AVs faced weak goalies and that was a reason for their success. Which is bull shit. Which you know.

    I don’t argue this at all. The eastern goalies are legit. But, the AVs are legit as well and taking anything away from them is ridiculous.

    A huge shock. Simply LOL. Yes, the games will more than likely be 3-2 type games but if the Rangers can get pucks past V I’m guessing the AVs can as well.

    Our problem is streaky play by almost everyone. If we can get 90% of the team playing to their level we can beat anyone.

    That's a huge if.

    I think Igor is the best goalie in the league right now. The Rangers are playing some really good hockey.

    The oilers have always had shit defense, up and down hockey. they score a lot because their playing style leads to a lot of odd man rushes, but that same style of play also gives up a ton of odd man rushes and they get scored on a lot as well. mike smith tightened it up a bit back in goal and kept them in a lot more games than they should've been, but at the end of the day they still play shit D.

    Colorado was in much the same way, huge overloaded number one line that can snipe. couldn't win big games back there without solid D and goaltending. The Avs made a big push last season to acquire veteran D and its paid off, so did picking up Kuemper. They also added grit to compliment the big line and have a solid three lines on the ice every night. Good luck to the Aves, the Bolts are kind of struggling against the Rangers right now. The Aves may finally have the winning ticket this year, as much as I wanted to Kappy and the Wild go deep.

    I must be a little bit younger than you, I was on the tail end of the Dino era, and in heart of the Broten and Modano era. Plenty of excitement against the old Norris Division foes when McRae, Churla, and Tinordi started swinging. '91 was my first introduction to the Minnesota sports heartbreak. Though the Penguins with Lemieux, Jagr, et al. were just absolute beasts.

    I remember the old arena off 35W. The old Vikes stadium was off 35W as well. Then they built the Mega Mall.

    If you want to talk heartbreak, I'm a 60 year old Ranger fan with one cup to show for my 55 years of hoping.

    My Dad died at 87 with two cups.

    :p

    I hope to not have to wait 27 years for another one.

    I wasn’t trying to imply the AV’s aren’t talented or that they don’t deserve to be in the final . I’m saying that goaltending hasn’t exactly been anything to write home about with the exception of Binnington .
    Sorry , yes a Toronto fan for 45 years . lol

    So far the Bolts have the least obnoxious fans on here so I'm happy to pull for them.

    I would argue that even if you think the goaltending was part of it a team ought to be able to win a couple games after getting to the playoffs. The AVs SWEPT two series. Don’t give me goalie bullshit.

    Did you see that snipe from the AV’s player from his own face off circle that just “eluded” Smith ?
    I’m looking forward to a great final . As I’ve said the AV’s are a legit team and I believe the Rangers and TB are just as legit .

    Where was there an obnoxious Ranger fan post?

    Also, I hope you are unhappy with the outcome of Rangers vs Bolts.

    I couldn’t agree more. NY and TB are outstanding teams with great net minders. I am looking forward to an awesome series and I will be pumped if the Avs prevail. I don’t believe for one second it won’t be an all out brawl.
