Around the League playoff edition

Rooting for Dallas.

Considering Perry is on that team though, that doesn't sit well with me.

I'm only rooting for dallas if TBL moves on.

Isles would be an easy root if they can pull off their own miracle

No more former Kings in the playoffs? Unless you count prospects?

Does Cernak count? Also, John Stevens behind the Dallas bench, and Ben Bishop.

I was thinking Cernak was a prospect at least. Stevens going to the Final again is cool.

I'm still mad about that trade that got Bishop. I still, to this day, don't understand the reasoning why we traded the one goalie that was keeping us thinking we made have a chance to make playoffs in 16-17 when Quick was injured. On top of that, Bishop didn't do much for us as far I remember.

Was a fun series to watch. Not sure why NBCSN decided to focus on Reaves so heavily though. I get that the guy can be pretty entertaining but of all the players in this series to center in on why Ryan Reaves?

yeah, i noticed that too. Vegas is like the west coast version of the Flyers or Bruins they way NBC covers them .The homerism isn't even subtle.

John Stevens, Ben Bishop, and Erik Cernak as well.

Once Dallas tied it, Vegas sphincter tightend so much, it impacted their hands and legs.
It was a matter of time, Vegas was mentally beaten at that point

Jeez, two more forgettable faces from the dark days.

They are not a mentally strong team. I thought maybe last year’s collapse was an aberration because of the awful call, etc etc. But they’re showing a pattern now. They didn’t dominate in possession like the Vancouver series, but they were clearly getting more looks and high danger chances. They just couldn’t finish. And Lehner fell apart in this series.

VGK is still a nails goaltender and a #1 D away from a Cup.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Jeez, two more forgettable faces from the dark days.

Luke Schenn actually put up decent numbers with his short stint here.

Was on pace for 20+ points, +10, and 100 Pims.

Also was one of our leading scorers in the playoffs for us that year.

Not this time, DeBoer

Lost with NJ
Lost with SJ
Lost with Vegas [wcf]

Hattrick!

 

[kingsholygrail]

DeBoer apparently said Demko rattled the team in the Vancouver series and they had confidence issues on finish.

For all their supposed bluster and swagger Knights folded like a cheap lawn chair. Come on down the mountain, you pretenders. If not for PEDs, that Finals appearance probably dont happen either.

They and a good amount of their fanbase thump their chests like they've actually won something. They haven't.

I rooted for the goddamn Sharks over those pukes last year. Insane how unlikable they are from top to bottom.

Like I said, I dislike them because of their fans first and foremost. Like for real? Getting aggro in Staples and trying to start shit in the halls and restrooms? Raiders f***ing fans the lot of them. When you out-douche visiting Montreal fans, you're trying way too hard.

For me it doesn't help that they employ Brayden McNabb who was usually more harmful than helpful for us and then went on to score the series clincher against us.

Happens to allot of guys, quite honest.

But now that can all go to that Roman website and a real Dr. can send them the blue pill ...

 

[kingsholygrail]

Gallant must have been a real taskmaster.

re: vegas

 

[Johnny Utah]

Good for Schenn. I have met a bunch of NHL'ers in my time and Luke Schenn ranks high amongst the most friendly.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I feel like VGK is a good enough team that they won't suffer the DeBoer plunge, but I'd also be happy to be wrong.

 

[Steve Zissou]

We’ve gotten used to watching him end up on the losing end. Except this time he didn’t have a pair of boobs behind him.

It was a porn star!

 

[KingsFan7824]

Just noticed that both Dallas and Vegas, up to this point, have been led in scoring by a defenseman.

 

[KingsFan7824]

I really don't want TB to win, but I'm not into Pavelski touching the Cup. Or Perry doing it again. 13 years ago was one time too many.
