The NHL's run of buzz-worthy Stanley Cup Final matchups finally ended. No ratings bonanza here. Much less hype, but almost certainly much better hockey, than a Rangers/Kings series would've provided.

Kings over Coyotes in 6
Devils over Rangers in 6

Blind squirrel...nut...etc...etc...

3rd round picks: 2-0
Overall: 4-10

Rooting for LA to capture their first ever Cup, but picking...

Devils over Kings in 7

Every Final since the lockout ended has seen the home team win the first two games of the series. The last three have had the home team win the first five games.

It's the matchup on the cover of NHL Hockey on the Genesis!

"Kings in 6" is trending on twitter... LA seems like they'd take one of the first two... I'll say Kings in 7. Yup, an away win.

It has already been foretold:

Devils win the series on a wild play in front of the net.

Not sure who I want to win this. I like the Kings TEAM but the people here don't deserve a damn thing.

They averaged a 0.33 regular season rating on their games, that's less than 1% of the entire freakin' LA MARKET!

Re: 2012 Stanley Cup Final: New Jersey Devils vs. Los Angeles Kings

Maybe everyone who wanted to see the Kings was attending the games in-person? LA sold out every home game this season.

Devils' ratings aren't exactly boffo, and they've already got 3 Cups.

My advice: Ignore the repulsive bandwagoners and pull for the Kings' diehard fans (as few as they may be) who've had to put up with a lot of crap over the last few decades. All teams and fanbases deserve at least one day in the sun.

I hope the Devils win just cause I can't stand the Kings and their flopping. If the Kings were a soccer team they would be Italy or Spain.

Not exactly who I wanted to see in the finals after looking at the victors in the first round, but go Kings, I guess.

I think the Quick/Brodeur match up is a great story. One last cup for the legend going out on top or the new star gets his first.

Devils in 7...in quadruple overtime...1-0.
