Wayne Gretzky once was asked, What was the worst NHL ice rink you've ever played at? His answer without hesitation, Madison Square Garden.
I'm guessing that's why the Rangers can't win it (with the exception of 1994). Unless you want to start believing in the curse of some spirt and shit like that. Yeah!!! Holy Spirit, woo-hoo, shaka-laka voodoo, bring on the ghost of christmas past. LOL!!!
In reality it's all chance. You either win or you don't. It's as simple as that. No matter what players you have, it's how that team performs together. It's all about who's willing to step up and go towards that extra step. It's also about playoff experience too. But the Anaheim Angels baseball team are one of the few teams to defy that because they really played together as a team. Each team has their own chemistry and towards the end of the season, only one team will be left standing.
The Rangers along with many NHL teams out there fail to win the cup because of what I just said. Notice how it's been the Wings, Avs, Devils, and Stars winning the cup the last 8 years. The Wings, Stars, and Devils received new coaches. History shows it that the chances of winning the Stanley Cup with a new coach is very slim. Even though the Avs aren't playing to their expectations, they are the team to beat this year, because of their roster. Their players are still around and they still have Bob Hartley. So based on the gambling version of analyzing things, I'd go with the Avs.
So my pick for the 2003 Stanley Cup winner, Colorado Avalanche!!!
I still hope the Kings whoop their freezing ass!!!
