I don't trust any Kings games vs the Sharks any time of year, let's be real.

Big Mac & Lucic.

This looked like a good game.

Oilers board is melting down. Do not look! It appears to be contagious. A sharks fan looked and now their board is melting down, too!

That's regulation losses against Philadelphia, Detroit, Seattle, Ottawa, Chicago, and Montreal.

Don’t you just love seeing Mike Smith’s career get flushed down the toilet.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Of course Ducks/Sharks 3 pt game.

And ducks win after sharks had go ahead goal in regulation talent away for offside

Some serious VGK home cookin there as usual

 

[kingsholygrail]

Nice splash on that one.

First playoff game I attended was the Game 3 fiasco in 2011. Still have nightmares over blowing that 4-0 lead. 2014 soothed that a bit, but it still hurts.

I threw a beer bottle through the television (needed a new one anyway.)

Total disgrace.

I hate smith. he is the Perry of Goalies...however playing in the NHL at 40 is impressive. Even if he sucks

I've only been to two. Game 6 vs Canucks in 2010 and Game 6 vs Chicago in 2014. I probably shouldn't go to playoff games. lol The Chicago one was particularly demoralizing because I really didn't think they'd win a game 7 in Chicago.

 

[YP44]

only kings playoff game i have been to was in 1993 kings vs flames her in Calgary.
Only thing I remember was there was a skirmish at the end of the game, and the refs sent guys to the box even though there was 0 time left in the game. I think it was just to separate and sort guys.

These kids continue to impress on a nightly basis at the forward position...

Dallas - Jason Robertson
Back to back hatties. Can't believe this kid was drafted #39 overall. He has a nose for the net and just scores on a consistent basis.

New Jersey - Dawson Mercer
This kid is always in the right place at the right time and has a real good North/South approach, especially on the rush.

Buffalo - Tage Thompson
Some sick hands and a wicked shot. Racking up the goals in Buffalo. If he could increase his assists he could be their future #1.

Phoenix - Nick Schmaltz
On a tear lately, but it's Arizona.

Florida - Anton Lundell
This team is so deep that he's playing in a 3rd line position with Vatrano and Reinhart. He has 38 points in 51 games thus far.

 

[King'sPawn]

Only Kings playoff game I've been to is the infamous Joe Thornton slide.

 

[Herby]

Lucky enough to have been at Game 7 of the 2014 WCF. I might be biased but I think it's the best game in franchise history and also the best series. I was there the year before when they lost in OT in the WCF, that was tough.

My ranking of every Kings playoff game I've ever personally been

1. 2014 WCF - Game 7 @ Chicago
2. 2001 WQF - Game 4 vs. Detroit
3. 2001 WSF - Game 6 vs. Colorado
4. 2013 WQF - Game 5 @ St. Louis
5. 2012 WSF - Game 2 @ St. Louis
6. 2014 WCF - Game 2 @ Chicago
7. 2001 WQF - Game 3 vs. Detroit
8. 2012 WSF - Game 1 @ St. Louis
9. 2010 WQF - Game 3 vs. Vancouver

Toughest Losses I've seen in order

1. 2014 WCF Game 5 - @ Chicago (Even though we lost this was a superb game)
2. 2013 - WCF Game 5 - @ Chicago
3 1998 WQF Game 3 vs. St. Louis
4. 2013 WQF Game 1 - @ St. Louis
5. 2014 WCF Game 1 - @ Chicago
6. 2013 WCF Game 1- @ Chicago
7. 2013 WCF Game 2 @ Chicago
8. 2001 WSF Game 3 vs. Colorado
9. 2010 WQF Game 6 vs. Vancouver
10. 2000 WQF Game 3 vs. Detroit

Tage Thompson is making the ROR trade look not so awful for Buffalo.

I was listening to 32 Thoughts today and they were talking about Robertson and just how well he shoots the puck. I think guys like him, Caufield and Kaliyev just add so much to a team because not many guys can fire the puck like they can. I am so happy we finally have a guy like that in LA, been long overdue.

Been to every Kings home playoff game since they finally made it again in 2010 except for Game 3 of the Ducks series. The Cup winning games are automatically the best but I think Games 1 and 7 in Anaheim may have been more enjoyable than all of the Kings home games. I totally lost my shit when Gaborik tied up Game 1.

The loss to Chicago in Game 4 of 2013 was the brutal one. Game 6 against them in 2014 would have been the worst if they didn't win Game 7 but, man, losing that Game 4 to Chicago when Keith was suspended really hurt.

Don't know if they would have beat Boston in the SCF that season but man was I pulling for Detroit over Chicago in the semi-finals.

I've brought my ipad on the bench a bunch of times but this is next level

Cal/EDM going on right now, rooting for the flames to keep the oil off our ass

Toffoli continues to pay dividends for the Flames.

Only King's playoff game I've been to was game 4 the 2012 SC finals.

Ticket was $700.

I didn't think it was going to turn out to be a potential SC-clinching game when I purchased the ticket. After the Kings went up 3-0 in the series, I was stoked knowing I might be seeing the King's win the cup. The place I bought the ticket from actually contacted me and tried to buy it back at a higher price, but I refused.

Obviously the game didn't go as I hoped, but still a great experience.

I sat next to a blonde girl Devil's fan who had flown in from NJ just for the day to see the game. There was lots of "money" in the building that night.

 

[ru4reals]

Some serious VGK home cookin there as usual

Just Amadio being Amadio.

 

[Fishhead]

If Edmonton can't come back their chances really take a hit. It wouldn't surprise me if Vancouver passed them, either.

in 2012 my seats in 316 for the finals were face price of 93 dollars , they never really thought we would get there and if you guys remeber they sent a envelope full of tickets for all possible games. i am with bigking the cup victories were the best but game 7 in anaheim was the most enjoyable due to being ahead early and the building being so full of kings fans and of course winning the game
