History Will Be Made...Unless New York Wins It All.

Simply put:

Rangers Win- Nothing special, though for the team it will be first title since 94.

Devils Win- Lowest seed to win Championship, also become 8th team with 4 Cups.

Kings Win- Lowest seed to win, also first in team history.

Coyotes Win- First Championship, also become 2nd pro Champion in Arizona history.

Discuss.

Hey! It'll be special to me!

Well ****, if you put it that way, why bother Rangers.

**Jack Bourdain** · 05-12-2012, 09:53 PM

I have a feeling whoever comes out of the West will win it.

**Machinehead** · 05-12-2012, 09:54 PM

Nothing special?

How about gutsiest team to ever do it?

Least talented?

Seriously though, we could potentially be looking at first team to ever do it in 4 game 7's, that'd be some story if it came to be.

I know that's the most unlikely one, but it's there. 2 for 2 so far.

WhipNash27 · 05-12-2012, 09:55 PM

Rangers would be the first team ever go to to game 7s in their first two series to win the Cup. There ya go.

KingWantsCup · 05-12-2012, 09:55 PM

Rangers winning is nothing special? They had a LOT to do with the hockey renaissance of the 90's. Go find a retirement home for your team.

MDZ · 05-12-2012, 09:55 PM

Won't the Rangers be the first team to win the Cup after having to go to seven games in each of the first two rounds?

I was actually going to say that

TimeParadox* · 05-12-2012, 09:57 PM

I go with the "nothing special", no golfing choice any day.

Uncle Sam · 05-12-2012, 09:57 PM

Nothing special? We waited 54 years for our last one. Any cup after that is special.

Captain Saku · 05-12-2012, 09:58 PM

NHL wants a NJ vs Phoenix final

NBC wants LA vs NY

A simple plan for a simple team: "go myteam go, play a round of go...lf."

While this is more due to parity, you are correct.

The 92 Penguins came the closest, going 7 in round 1 and 6 in round 2 before going on a magnificent undefeated streak to the Championship.

Still, that's not a glaring historical achievement. A team winning it's first title or being the lowest seed and " cinderella " is more memorable, fair or not.

MoreOrr · 05-12-2012, 10:05 PM

Really, the Kings or the Coyotes winning the Cup will be a significantly huge deal for those franchises, no doubt about it. And big stories on top of that... The Coyotes a franchise never winning a Playoff Round until this Season and a team in the news almost relocated now for two years. The Kings, a first time amazing 8th place team to win the Cup, 14th in the League overall, and never having won the Cup in their 44 year history in the League.

Ih8theislanders · 05-12-2012, 10:06 PM

Would be the first team to win the cup that had two Game 7's in the first two rounds.

The Dayvan Cowboy · 05-12-2012, 10:08 PM

I called Rangers vs Kings at the beginning of the year (largely due to the fact that after the Oilers they are my two favorite teams and I thought two huge markets would be cool) and I correctly called the finals in 08, 09, and 10. So, I have a chance at doing absolutely nothing of worth.

blueshirt4lyfe · 05-12-2012, 10:14 PM

Rangers will be the luckiest team ever to win a Stanley Cup

Pyromaniac3 · 05-12-2012, 10:14 PM

Rangers' fans, he means it's not as as special as the other teams winning it. Stop ******** your pants.

What about the many teams that have waited their whole existence

You know the old saying: "I'd rather be lucky than good"

Granlund2Pulkkinen* · 05-12-2012, 10:25 PM

An 8th seed has never won the cup before?

Islanderfan17 · 05-12-2012, 10:27 PM

Rangers have 3 of their 4 cups before World War II ended and there was what, six teams in the league? I'd say it'd be pretty special to that franchise, it would establish them a bit more as a succesful franchise in more modern times.

bored wings fan?

Jeffrey Lebowski · 05-12-2012, 10:31 PM

Don't be discouraged Rangers fans...

2010:

Flyers: Lowest seed to win SC ever, 10th team to win 3 Stanley Cups
Sharks: First Championship ever
Montreal: Lowest seed to win SC ever
Chicago: No big deal, first cup in 40+ years

Stories like these aren't that big of a deal. Same storyline for last year with the Bruins.
