Monday Musings: Following The Kings Blueprint For Success

Greetings Habs Addicts,

The off-season is officially upon us as the Los Angeles Kings have collected their second Stanley Cup in three years, easily dispatching the New York Rangers in five games.

The Rangers limited the Canadiens to 18 shots on goal, including just 5 in the third period to win the best-of-seven game series 4-2.

The Canadiens are a team built around speed, but the Rangers proved to be the faster and stronger team...
