ECF: (4) Montreal Canadiens vs (5) New York Rangers

[Nicklas Bo Hunter]

The rangers suck I laugh when people say rangers are gonna win this series.MONTREAL wins in 5 or 6

rangers suck so much that they beat the pens.... a team with two of the top 5 players in the nhl...

[Where's Wellwood]

I think is comes down to goaltending again. Just like the winner of the Bruins-Canadiens came down to which goaltender played best (Price>Rask), this series will hinge on Price vs. Lundquist.

I'll say Canadiens in 6.

Pittsburgh is a two line team at best. Shut down Crosby and Malkin and they don't have much to fall back on. All four of Montreal's lines are firing on all cylinders. Much harder for the Rangers to deal with.

Montreal went 2-0-1 against the Rangers this year with all three games being very low scoring.

Habs in 5.

[MusclePharm]

Habs in 6

[Captain Aerosex]

Habs in 6. Should be a tight series, but I'm predicting Montreal-Chicago in the finals.

[MRAY]

Go HABS Go

[SamJamIam]

Rangers in six. Don't want to see the Habs go to the cup. I don't care if they're a Canadian team.

Doesn't like the Habs but also doesn't like Virtanen...

I'm not sure if I should shake your hand or sock you in the mouth

[hockeyfan90]

habs in 6

[Canuck or Die]

Price vs. Lundqvist. Gold Medal Rematch.

I do want habs to win only to see the AV lovers whine and cry some more.

[Bure to Mogilny]

Whqt a trip for wiese first he gets traded to his fave team (habs) then scores ot playoff goal then scores two huge goals against boston in playoffs also gets under the skin of the bruin rat kings lucic and chara and now has a chance to win east conf against his former team and his former coach!

For me not sure yet im just glad bruins are out

I still like the caps for beating them in 2012 but i still dont like the habs but like weise

So conflicted

Well, at least cheering for the Rangers won't be as hard to do.

Lets go Rangers!

[Pears]

Well, at least cheering for the Rangers won't be as hard to do.

Lets go Rangers!

Why do you continue to cheer for the team you know is going to lose?

[gmen81]

I hope Habs win.

[-Vintage Canuck-]

I'm going to say Canadiens in 7!

[Honky Cat]

Rangers in 6....Therrien and AV,best friends,going head to head....Also,the battle of two outstanding goalies...Whoever wins this series will eventually lose to the winner of the West..IMO.

[oldnews]

Very pleased to say the least that my two teams in the East are into the Conference Finals.

Going to be one hell of an entertaining series imo. I love the style of hockey that both these teams play.

Congrats to the Habs on that epic dumping of the Boston Bruins, and to AV for that great comeback to dispense with the Penguins. Can't stand either of those teams. What a sweet one-two punch back to back.

I'm going to have to go with the Habs in this one.

[van_ws]

Cheering for the Habs all the way. Habs in 6.

Should be a good series.

[Bure010]

gunna have to go with the Habs

but part of me feels like this will finally be the year where Lundqvist FINALLY breaks through and gets it done in the conference finals, he's too good to keep getting this close and not make it to the cup finals

should be a great series anyways
