Devils in 7

You know, those plucky Kings are plucky.

Up 2-0 and going home, these Kings must like how the series is playing out.

If the Kings win the Stanley Cup I'm going to be royally pissed. LOL GET IT?

[Grey Fox]

You know what I hate the most in the Stanley Cup Playoff? It takes too much time that by the final I don't care about it. I just want this to end so we can start talking about the Draft.

This might be the easiest Cup win evah. Kings have played 16 games and are 2 wins away.

Especially since they're drawn the Final out to get as many Saturday games as they can.  Compared to the earlier rounds, where there's a game (or two) every night, the Final just seems to drag.

Still, I've really enjoyed the Kings games.  They've played strong defence, but they've also been exciting with the puck, and they don't really have a boring line that just ties up in the corner.  They're always trying to score.

[Jaron]

Only the delusional think the Devils will get swept.

[Neil]

It's certainly a possibility.  The Blues were a better team than the Devils, and they were swept.

[Valmy]

I am not even sure what to think about the Kings.  I mean they are the 8th seed but this is no cinderella run they are just destroying everybody.  How can this be possible?  How were they not the #1 seed if they are just good?

Because Brent Sutter is bullying that team into a steady effort. Something Terry Murray couldn't do.

100 per cent agree. I stopped watching after Round one to be honest.

Which is my problem with the whole regular season/playoff season. The eight month regular season is just exhibition season for the playoffs and mean absolutely nothing. There's no point in watching or following the regular season.

they changed after the end of the exchange period.  In the last straight toward the series, they started winning most of their games.
