Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread: Kings win 2nd Cup in 3 seasons (2 Viewers)

I love our Rags. Cup faves IMO.

Meh, IMO Kings or Hawks are the favorites.

I think this is right, but barely.

NYR Even

LAK -120

NYR +110

CHI -130

Something like that.

As a Rangers fan, if it actually happens, I wouldn't go near my team vs CHI at those odds.

Yeah, the Hawks are tough but the King is so damn hard to rattle.

 

[Hawks64]

March to the box continues on both sides tonight. Calling it very very tight tonight boys.

Sidney Crosby may be the best player in hockey, but he’s not the first player Wayne Gretzky would choose for a linemate.Interviewed today on The Dan Patrick Show, the Great One was asked which team he’d want to play for in today’s NHL. Gretzky said that he loves the way Darryl Sutter coaches the Kings. “I think he’s really one of the best coaches in hockey,” he said. “It’s really enjoyable to watch his teams.

“But maybe the Hawks. I’d like to get Patrick Kane the puck. He’s a pretty good player.”

He also had some kind words for Chicago’s captain, Jonathan Toews.

“I think Crosby is the best player in the game, I don’t think it’s even a question,” Gretzky said. “Now if you’re Chicago and you’ve got Toews, I don’t think there’s anybody in the league they’d trade him for, except maybe Crosby. He’s a pretty good 1-B.”

Gretzky says that we could be on the verge of recognizing the Blackhawks, who play L.A. on Wednesday night in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, as a dynasty.

“It’s harder to be a dynasty with the salary cap system,” he said. “Your homework and your scouting has to be flawless and they seem to have done a very good job of that.”

Wow. Better get the comeback shoes out. Two breakaways. Suspect stuff from LA.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Yikes! That's kind of a softy, Quick.

 

[Hawks64]

Smith has worked his ### off tonight, glad to see him pot one

'Hawks are going to win the Cup again, aren't they?

'Hawks are going to win the Cup again, aren't they?

Depends on who you ask really...but I stated my thoughts earlier.

 

[chet]

I am going to LA for game 3. Anyone else?

Battle of the Catamounts. Sharp vs St Louis. My money is on the Rangers (from months ago) but this year looks a lot like last year for Chicago. If they get past the Kings, would be a big upset to see them go down in the finals. West was way better than the East this year.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Need the Kings to slow down the Blackhawks here. Can't have the west go the short route. ..

 

[Hawks64]

What a save by Quick on Seabrook on a 2 on 1.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

HUGE save there. Man, has the Kings D been leaking oil tonight.

 

[Raider Nation]

 

[Hawks64]

It's on now.

 

[rockaction]

Off his skate. Due for review.

eta* Gotta be a good goal.

Looks like Bucky was the only King to show up.

Comeback shoes on!!!

 

[Raider Nation]

Oh myyyyyy.

Badly officiated game, just like game seven of the B's/Montreal.

Regardless, Hawks taking some terrible penalties.

 

[sporthenry]

Badly officiated game, just like game seven of the B's/Montreal.

And game 3 of Flyers/Rangers.

 

[rockaction]

OH YO!!!!

Apologies, 'Hawks fans. I swear I had no ulterior motives when I wrote this.

I think you're off by about 25 cents on both, in the West favor.Although I forget who has home ice. I'm assuming West for both

pick me up

I don't think you're wrong at all. Despite a 4-2 deficit, this team looks incredible. Sharp, Keith, Toews, Kane, etc, etc.

Kings and Habs finished with identical 46-28-8 records. Don't know how that would be resolved if it got to that.

 

[Hawks64]

Wow. This is unreal.

More like pathetic. You can't sit there and watch a puck because you think a whistle will be blown.....

I'll do it for him. Kid is good, going to score alot in this league.

I know. But I should have known better than to write off this Kings team.

Not in the 3rd they aren't. :X Wheels fell off and the Kings took advantage of every opportunity, on to LA 1-1.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Man, funny how sometimes all it takes is one bounce. How big was that Williams goal right before the end of the second period? Kings have been a completely different team ever since.

 

[rockaction]

Oh. That should do it.

 

[rockaction]

Hats off.

 

[Bucky86]

 

[rockaction]

Um, the puck just kept hitting the back of Chicago's net in the third. Over. And over. And over. And over.

Impressive.

 

[rockaction]

Johnny Gaudreau did some dirty things against Germany.

He can set you up too. The overhead video doesn't do the first pass justice from behind the net.

Here's a better angle on the behind the net pass.

More, please. Filthy move on the goal.

 

[Zegras11]

Was that Bucky at the podium?
