Make history or be history!

Truthfully I've never seen a series in which one team got every single lucky bounce and the other got none. How many clean goals do the Kings have vs. goals deflected off Rangers? It's been unfathomable to me. Really hope that puck luck turns tonight, because a sweep would be a complete disservice to how close this series has really been.

I'd change your "than" to "and".

No doubt the Kings have had the benefit of some strange bounces. But they cashed them in.

Zuccarello has to beat Quick on his shot in the 1st. Nash has to fight through the hook and score on the open net in the 2nd. Pulling Lundquist and getting 0 shots on goal in 4+ minutes wasn't bad luck.

This series could easily be 2-1 Rangers so no disrespect to a very good team.

But New York had better find a way to score first tonight because if they don't I think you'll see the same kind of game you watched Monday where the Kings just try to suffocate them.

It's really been unbelievable. Not taking anything away from the Kings cause they're as good as advertised. But the Rangers haven't gotten a single bounce go their way.

Unfortunately people see that they are down 3-0 and assume that the Kings have dominated the Rangers when that hasn't been the case. First 2 games go to OT and then Quick flat out steals game 3. It's been a lot closer then the bottom line shows.

Regardless the Blueshirts need to be perfect from here on in. Holding out hope, that the epic comeback starts tonight.

It's been the Kings M.O. the entire playoffs ( see OT winner vs Chicago as example)..but the difference is although they had the bounces, they were still forced to 7 games the previous 3 series. LA has been a streaky team all year..NY just needs to stop talking about the bounces and play better.

Geez...twice now the puck lingers just shy of the net. Great game, glad the season will last at least one more game...

The extra ice shavings didn't hurt either.

Yeah ! One down 3 to go !

The Rangers need to rally around,play for Henry, now that the coming together after St.Louis mothers passing has helped rally the team before this series. Need Zuccarello to energize score a goal or two. and for Girardi not to get beat for breakaways.
