Let's all celebrate with Ryan Getzlaf!

[Alisa]

Go easy on him, that might've been his only chance to celebrate on home ice.

Perfect

Wouldn't that be something, if the Ducks have ALREADY played their last game at Honda Center this season?

Stubhub has the Kings game on Saturday at 1 p.m., but I have seen no confirmation of this at all.

NHL.com still has it as TBD.

Oh god, not an afternoon game on national TV...

Oh god, not an afternoon game on national TV...

Two seasons ago, game 4 of the second round against the Blues was on Saturday afternoon also, and we were able to get off the mat during the day and win a game.

So, it is consistent...but again, no confirmation as of yet.

Remember that day! Was a very good one - went to a huge Ferrari show in the morning and saw the Kings win one of their biggest wins ever in the afternoon.

Not too worried. Montreal / Boston will be the 9-10AM start game (PT). Kings will either be at 1PM (NBC) or 5PM (NBCSN) PDT. SoCal vs. SoCal is national TV ratings death, so I doubt NBC will do a doubleheader. My guess is it will be an NBCSN game with a later afternoon start if I were a betting man.

Also the loudest I've ever heard Staples after Brown scored that EN goal.

Yeah, wish I was there!

Is that Jamie Lannister?

Good question, the Clippers play friday & sunday, so that isn't the issue.

6:30PM start per the NHL (as of this morning) for game 4. Kings/Ducks isn't enough of a national draw to put it on NBC as a day game, so we get an evening start on NBCSN instead (a good thing, IMO).

 

[Ron*]

Yeah, wish I was there!

It was the loudest I'd ever heard a Staples crowd up until last week up until last week when we killed that 5-3. That was deafening.

I'm good with it...I always like it when the big boys ignore the West Coast so perhaps we can surprise some East Coast team.

Sadly, winning the Cup exposed how good the Kings are and we are not surprising anyone now, especially not Chicago.

Bob Miller agrees with you. It was one of the things I chatted with him about on my flight with him last week. I wasn't at that game, but Bob obviously was and he said that that 5 on 3 post-kill crowd noise was #1 all time. A bit louder than Brown's EN goal in game 4. Bob ranked the top 4 crowd noise moments as:

1. 5 on 3 kill vs. SJ
2. Game 4 Brown EN goal
3. Game 6 2nd goal (2 of 3 in the 5 minute major)
4. Game 6 3rd goal (3 of 3 in the 5 minute major)

Not being in the arena for #1 myself, I certainly agree with 2-4 and I'll take your guys' word for it who were there for #1.

One other side note about Bob... I know he's getting up there in years, but I asked him how many other game 7's he's worked, and he rattled them off *by team and year they happened* from memory. I was really impressed. Bob's the man.

Wow. We are very fortunate.
