NHL Stanley Cup Final 2014. Who do you want to win and why?

Hopefully the Kings can close it out Friday. If not, look out! 

What a game! It was great to see my Kings close it out and win the cup for the 2nd time in 3 years. Hats off to king Henrik for a terrific series. He kept the Rangers in each and every game.

Yeah such a crazy game. The Kings were definitely the team of destiny this year after coming back from being down 0-3 games in that early series.  I think the goalie should have gotten the MVP though!

how often does that happen in hockey? sounds like more often than in basketball.. i don't think any team in the nBA has come back from 0-3.

To be perfectly honest with you, I have no idea. I believe the 1940 something Toronto Maple leafs did it against the Red Wings. At least I think I remember seeing a story on that during the series. I also believe Mike Richards, when he was with the Flyers was involved in a series like that as well. Don't hold me to that though.

It has happened 3 times in the playoffs in the NHL. Once during the Stanley Cup Final.

Toronto came back from 3-0 down in the 1942 SCF against Detroit.  In 1975 the New York Islander came back from being 3-0 down against Pittsburgh in the 2nd round of the playoffs.  Lastly, The Philadelphia Flyers came back from being down 3-0 to the Boston Bruins in the 2010 Conference Finals.

You gotta feel sorry to the Rangers. Losing 3 games in OT that could have very easily gone the other way.  That is gonna sting for a while.

Congrats to the Kings though, 2 cups in 3 years is damn impressive! Gonna be front runners again next year.

As it has been stated above, The Kings won the Stanley Cup on Saturday night.

Guess it's time to lock the thread.  Here's to looking to the 2014-2015 season.  I'm sure the Kings will be a front runner again next year.  Hopefully the Canucks can make some moves this off season and make a run.  Don't think they can win the Cup, but I'd like to see them make the playoffs.
