I am sure it has been mentioned already but it was embarrassing to see how the Kings adapted their game because the didn't care at all about defensive zone face-offs.
Bernier covered up many pucks that he normally would have played because he knew they could just come in and win the face-off in their own zone, at the end of the game the Kings just iced the puck with no concern because they knew they could just win the face-off. Halfway through the game Stoll would just tell the defenseman where he would win it because he knew it would be so easy and winning wasn't a question.
