Stanley Cup Moments presented by McDonalds. The LA Kings continue their dominant 2012 playoff run by sweeping the St. Louis Blues in the second round. Watch the entire series here - lakings.com/moments
One of the most dominant series the Kings have ever played.
Definitely one of my most favorite moments in Kings history. Staples was rocking that night.
Quick....someone post this on the Blues Board.

They have no Kopitar; they have no Quick. Before Hitchcock go there, they were a non-playoff team while our team, after getting Carter, was very deep in talent. And now we're in their heads as the one team they can not beat.

I cried when Brown scored the empty netter to seal the series.
Which can't be stressed enough. I'm wary about teams that make quantum leaps in the standings from non-playoff team to Cup contender the next year. Worst to first happens in baseball and football, even, but not too much in hockey. The Lightning haven't even back to the playoffs since their run.
The Kings were steady risers over the years. Which leads me to the irony of how the Kings were HF darlings during the building process, because HF loves potential. Then the minute the Kings realized their potential and started looking like world-beaters, it's just a hot streak and riding a hot goaltender. Now, the main board loves talking about the Kings in a negative light. Ahh, it's good to be the king.
Definitely one of my most favorite moments in Kings history. Staples was rocking that night.
