You know, of course, how the Kings got through the greatest goalie and defense in the history of hockey. It was all luck. Henrik Luckqvist said so.

Getting lucky since 2012...

I said the other day about the 2012 cup run that it was unlike anything I've ever seen. I feel the same about 2014 considering I don't think another team will go through the hell that that team went through. I loved 2012 because it was the first, but 2014 was incredibly satisfying knowing that they went through blood sweat and tears to get what they wanted. And I don't think I've ever jumped as high as I did when I saw Martinez score both those OT goals against the Hawks and Rangers

I was 40 floors up, and I think I jumped another 40 into the air.

I was in Atlantic City, and went downstairs to a club (was a bachelor's party weekend) what I didn't anticipate seeing was a bunch of other Kings fans down there at 1am.
 
That was an unbelievable run. I spent the summer watching highlights from every series. :D 0-3 comeback, first "freeway series", payback against the Hawks, and finishing off the Rags in a nail-biting double OT game. Couldn't have asked for a more memorable Cup run.

That's going to end this year. Unless CHI chokes it up in game 6 and wins in game 7.

I just remembered that right after posting.
CHI choking, with Toews and Kane? I'd probably win the lottery a 1000 times over before those guys decide to San Jose the whole thing.
 
The 2012 cup run was awesome but as near as dramatic as the 2014. In 2012 the kings were dominant going up 3-0 in every series. in 2014 LA needed three game 7's and double OT in the clinching game. Not to mention coming back on the sharks after being down 3-0 in the series. Even though LA lost the game I think game 6 against Chicago was one of the best playoff games I have ever watched.

I told folks - I honestly don't think you'll see a playoff run in sports like the '14 Kings ever again. Come back from 3-0 in the first round, knock off the #1 seed in the West and the defending champs in the next two rounds, and needing to win game 7 on the road three series in a row. CHI in particular being one of, if not the best 7 game series I've watched in any sport. Can't even explain how emotionally draining and yet thrilling games 5-6-7 were. And then beating NYR in a crazy OT filled series. I felt like I was watching a dramatic sports film the entire time, it was just absolutely surreal how that entire postseason went.
