I do not have any strong feelings - positive or negative - for the two franchises, either. The Canadiens rarely play the Rangers or the Kings in the playoffs, where rivalries are quite often born. I remember the Canadiens beating each of the clubs in the Cup Finals once (LA in '93 and NY in '79). Each team has one former Plymouth Whaler on their roster -- Justin Williams for LA and J.T. Miller for NY. I have always liked the way Lundqvist plays goal, but Quick is also very exciting, even though his style is unconventional. So, I do not have any rooting interest one way or the other in this matchup.
