So Price will be out these finals. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/24566900/canadiens-carey-price-out-for-rest-of-eastern-conference-final
Wow, that’s BAD news, as Price has really carried Montreal thus far (and King Henrik has been even better on the other side) ...
Good luck to Montreal sans Price, that’s a tall mountain to climb.
Lundqvist won this one for the Rangers.
MONDAYS RESULTS
RANGERS - 3 CANADIENS - 1

TUESDAYS GAME
LOS ANGELES @ CHICAGO - 8 PM

The Canadiens aren’t playing badly, but they really miss Price and Lundqvist is a wall. He’s really hot right now.
This series could be over by Monday, and I suspect Chicago and LA are going to have a six or seven game slugfest.
Kings to send this one into OT I have a feeling. Not really cheering any one of these teams.
At least the teams are getting some rest this time. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Canadiens could still make a comeback.
Kings just get the go ahead goal here, Kings 2nd PP goal.... 3-2, 15 minutes left...
Chicago folded tonight. They better wake up.
WEDNESDAYS RESULTS
KINGS - 6 BLACKHAWKS - 2 (Series tied 1-1)

THURSDAYS GAME
MONTREAL @ NEW YORK - 8 PM (Rangers lead series 2-0)
http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2013030313&navid=sb:preview
Looks like we got our selves a series in the West.
First time in 7 post season tries that the Kings won in Chicago
WBS PENGUINS WIN GAME 7 - ADVANCE TO AHL EASTERN FINALS

That’s good. NHL network use to carry some games of the lower leagues, if people are interested, they should check that out.
Not so much that the Kings won, but how they won. It looks like they just ground down the Hawks on their home ice. That does not bode well for Chicago fans.
Rangers F Carl Hagelin taps in a rebound from mid-air in the goal crease past Canadiens G Tokarski late in the 1st Period of Game 3
at Madison Square Garden, as New York takes a 1-0 lead into the locker room at the first Intermission, leading the Series 2 games to none.
3 minutes, Habs score, up 2-1.... this has been a good game, despite I think a little bit of sloppiness in play. Announcers call it an “own-goal”, I did see it went off the Ranger’s lower-leg.
And to OT, ironic, Rangers score off the backskate of a Canadien, now that this goes to OT, I’d think NYR are in better shape, Montreal played relatively well. We will see.
2-2 OT
THURSDAYS RESULT
