Good Gawd Amighty, looking like going to 3rd o/t. I hope that crowd brought food and a change of clothes so they could just go on to work when this game is over.
 
Yeah and when you have someone as dangerous as Kane on the ice, it just helps open the ice for others. Which the Kings don't have. Kane just makes the other team nervous when he's on the ice.
Kings just don't have anyone who's willing to go into those dirty areas near the crease. Takes someone who's not afraid to take the abuse that goes with that.

You're not going to have a crack at a talent like Kane unless you have a top 3 pick (and that depends on the draft year). Not often a player of his caliber is moved and guys like that hitting free agency these days doesn't happen too often either. The last time the Kings had a forward who had a similar skill set was when they had this guy in uniform:

Awesome player.
 
Why do the Blues struggle in the playoffs despite having a 'playoff type' team?

If they suck in the playoffs and have done zilch with this core, how do they have a 'playoff type' team? Does not compute.

I'd have a hard time stomaching Chicago getting another Cup and one-upping the Kings. No, I would support any team, including the Ducks, that could take them out.

The thing is, if Chicago enters overtime in a playoff game, they're probably going to win that game. They've got that extra gear and that mental strength not to choke it away. You've got to TAKE that victory away from them. The Blackhawks aren't going to beat themselves.
 
Chicago vs Anaheim western final.
I hope the jets can win a couple to drag out the series. Also hope calgary can actually find a way to win at the Ponda. I want the ducks beat up come time to play Chicago
 
I honestly think the Wild are going to take the West this year, dunno why but they have that feel to them, my only concern Finals wise is the Canadians. They magically find ways to get helped...

i think we see a MIN vs. NYR final

the Wild are playing very good hockey at both ends, they have the most consistent D and 'tending in the West at this point. i see them advancing.

ANH and CHI are to inconsistent when it comes to those two areas.

hoping for a NYI vs. NYR match up....that will be absolutely crazy if it happens.

pulling for the Isles all the way
