There was never a doubt that Henrik Lundqvist would shine in the playoffs, but to see a team in front of him that can not only maintain defensive control, but offensive control as well?
Well, for many Rangers fans, there was probably much doubt that this team could amount to anything back in October let alone to have the best 5 on 5 team in the playoffs and to be just four wins away from their first Stanley Cup in 20 years.
In the Rangers’ post-game press-conference the media inquired about what Vigneault would have thought if someone had told him back in October that the Rangers would be in the Cup finals.
“I would have asked what are you smoking?” Vigneault chuckled.
