The NHL Thread

[unit300021]

As much as I would love for Quick to win the Vezina trophy, I'm pretty sure it's going to Lundqvist, the guy deserves it and I don't really think anyone can argue against it.

Damn I need 5:15pm to be here already. I have a feeling Devils will do everything they can to spoil the party. But the Cup is here and ready should it happen!

Walking over to Staples now. Go Kings!

[scenicworld]

Wish I could be there in person!! I tweeted at the kings to see if there was going to be a big watch party at the LA Live courtyard and they replied to say it's only at the bars and restaurants. I guess NBC doesn't let teams have huge watch parties anymore, which is super lame.

I'll be loud and proud at home watching with the boyfriend instead!

I'm anticipating some medium scaled riots tonight. they'll be happy riots but riots none the less. lets see if I can go 2/2 after last years prediction (which was a good week and a half before the fact). good job kings for bringing the cup to california, now eat shit and die from here on out. go sharks!

[buddy]

I'm just glad the devils didn't get swept. Games 1 & 2 really could have gone either way, not saying the devils are going to win this series, but with Brodeur playing almost as good as Quick it's not unreasonable to think they can get another win or two.

[scenicworld]

Kings just wanted to extend their road records. yeah... that's it. no wait, they didn't want LA bandwagon fans to riot, so they decided to win it in Jersey. yeah, that.

disappointing game last night. I really wanted them to sweep jersey and win the cup on home ice so they could tie the 88 Edmonton Oilers record. oh well, we'll get them next game.

All 4 series the Kings have taken 3-0 leads, but are now just 1-3 in game 4s.

[scenicworld]

Sutter's press conference was hilarious last night. someone brought up that the Kings are 1-3 in game fours after going up 3-0 and Sutter just rolled his eyes and gave a sarcastic response. His interviews are almost as entertaining as the game!

[unit300021]

His interviews reminds me a lot of Phil Jackson's interviews. Except Phil would purposely do crap to piss of the interviewer where as Sutter is just being himself

[sonnyboy11]

Sutter's press conference was hilarious last night.

Depressing night coming home. But this picked me right up. Sutter will have us prepared!

I'm not sure when we Kings fans started thinking we were good enough to sweep out everyone. We've had an amazing run but we need to wake up to reality. Let's see how the team responds. If it comes to game 6... then back to the Stapler I go!

[Grandma]

did any of you guys go last night? if so what was the damage and where did you sit?


i liked sutter when he coached the sharks but listening to him speak is excruciating. its as if he lost his dentures, just checked out of the hospital due to a massive stroke, is drunk, and is canadian(see drunk).

[scenicworld]

I wasn't able to make it out to the game or to LA Live for the game. I actually haven't made it out to a game in 2 seasons now (and only once since the lockout), I'm such a horrible fan!!

I think Sutter is pretty entertaining to listen to. I always imagine a drunk Sylvester Stallone, haha.

I've been to every home game including one in Phx. For home games in the SC round, my ticket price is $71 in the front row of 304. I believe the same section/row on TM face value was something like $350.

I'm at home tonight for this one. I've got a cold goin. scenicworld check in!

[scenicworld]

I'm really nervous about this game. NJ seems to get better as the series go on and if the first 3 rounds are any indication it's not just this series. I'm still pretty confident that the Kings can pull it off and keep their record breaking streak intact, but it's going to be hard fought.

sonnyboy, sorry to hear about your cold, that's a bummer. Hopefully the excitement of the game (and our preferred result!!) makes ya feel better.

some of the tickets for game 6 are $34k according to a thread on HF. it's probably just fans hoping to take advantage of a desperate celebutant and won't sell, but jeesh!

That's just nuts. I could have sold mine for around $800-$1000 leading up to game 4. No fricking way. I'm not selling for anything, excepting something catastrophic health-wise.

I'm not worried- just anxious. If the Kings had just beaten Vanc and then struggled from there, I'd say we have been playing over our heads. But that's simply not the case. We are a really good team. Devils are also very good. The better team will win.

[scenicworld]

Come on Kings!!!

[buddy]

Woo, Marty fuckin' Brodeur.

[scenicworld]

dammit! that sucked. A bad play by Quick and a bad bounce off of Voynov. Brodeur was just unbeatable tonight other than posts.

[Lemonpie]

Everything is going NJ way, absolutely nothing going for LA. If The Kings dont clinch it at home on monday they're done

[Grandma]

the kings are falling apart...

[ThatGirl]

the kings are falling apart...

AND I'M REAPING THE THE BEN-EEE-FITS.

[stinkbutt]

I love hockey

[unit300021]

This is what I was scared of after the game 4 loss. It's now 3-2 with everything going for the Devils.

[scenicworld]

same here, NJ is like 10-1 in games 4-7 but the Kings played well last night and just as easily could have won. They have to win game 6 because it's pretty much already game 7.

[unit300021]

The Kings were the much the better team last night. Both of the Devils goals were mistakes by the Kings. The kings got as close as you can get without scoring.

[sonnyboy11]

Link for tickets to tomorrow's game shows uppers are actually at $499. That's higher than I thought. For those wanting to go, keep an eye out. They have been releasing tickets day of the event

Not sure where all this ends up going. Vegas has us as a pretty big favorite tomorrow night. I dunno.. re-watched last night's game and it looks to me like the Kings are the better overall team, but scoreboard is all that matters here. With the exception of game 3, all of these games have turned on a goal. All factors considered, it's a pretty even match-up thus far.

[Grandma]

Brad Stuart is now a San Jose Shark...again.

[JustSteve]

Thank you for fucking yourselves so hard, Jersey! Oh to be a fly on the wall of their dressing room at the end of the first period. Hope Bernier is showered and far from the locker room.

[Riggins33]

So da Kings gonna win...LA all day everyday....Even if its just da hockey...
