Pacquaio-Bradley fight was also June 9.
I think the fight was a little bit later in the evening. I remember it being a Saturday and having to sit at the sports bar next to an obnoxiously loud fan yelling at the Miami/Boston game.

How the heck do you watch a cup finals game when you want neither team to win. Guess the answer is you don't. Yuck!
What do you have against Pittsburgh? Geographically, there's no reason to hate them. Historically, there was never a rivalry between the Kings and the Pens.
Crysby.
Meh. Until he talks **** about the Kings, he has no effect on me. Best player in the world.
And we know that because THE MEDIA NEVER SHUTS UP ABOUT HIM.

The franchise tanked to get Mario and then somehow sucked hard enough to get the #1 pick in the best draft since '79, the #2 pick the following year (Malkin) and then were given the best chance to land Crosby since they were the worst team the season before the lockout.
They then went on to back-to-back SCF and won in '09.
They come off as a franchise that has generally been awful but was rewarded for tanking (Mario) and then benefited from the lockout by being given the best chance to get Crosby, which they did.
**** them; however, I hope they sweep the SCF.

Tanking works. That's how the Rockets landed Olajuwon a year before Ewing.
If anything, I consider tanking clean, compared to rigging lotteries.
It looks a little like the first 5 periods between the Hawks and Kings in 2014. The Kings weren't in the same series as the Hawks until they exploded in that Game 2 3rd period.
I wrote off game 1 because they just came off a game 7 win while the Hawks had a few days rest... This looks different to me.... SJ can't get out of their own zone..turn over after turn over...
