There is no doubt in my mind that the Rangers were a better team. We had our games but in the series they beat us fair and square. I do not blame the loss on Kreider accidentally on purpose nailing Carey Price. However Kreider is getting a reputation for putting himself in a position to have such an accident. There has to be a new rule about hitting a goalie at 36 KPH.
We could have won this series. The biggest failure was the power play. Games that should have been put away we lost due to the PP. That is the number one job to improve this team. Our old slow and small defence was a factor, but it could have been overcome by an effective PP.
The big question is how far away from the Cup are we? The answer to some extent will be revealed in the Rangers vs LA final. I think having a scoring threat instead of Gionta, and a second unit PP defence pair may put us over the top.
One thing to be considered. This team made it to the conference finals. That is a huge accomplishment. I am very proud of this team, and every member of this team did a great thing this year. You win and lose as a team in hockey, the best guy and the worst guy are both responsible for winning and losing. Hats off to all the players who wore the colours in this year which ended short but should still be celebrated. Montreal is back, deal with it.
