WC Playoffs Western Final: Los Angeles Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks

[Senator Clay Davis]

The last 3 full periods of hockey action over both games has been totally crazy. Could see another goalie or two get pulled tonight.

Kane has assisted on all three goals and Shaw has two points. The Kings score, 3-2 Chicago now!

[JJ1532]

Holy Christ! Sorry, just remind me, 3 of the best goalies in the league haven't given up 9 goals in less than an hour of playing time have they over last night and tonight?

"Elliot Friedman's dirty thoughts."


(I know that's not what he said, but that's what I heard)

[Senator Clay Davis]

An all-time moronic penalty there.

[JJ1532]

Love the call, holding the stick. He didn't hold it, he chucked it! Haha

[MissTeeks]

Tie game

[JJ1532]

Ha, called it. Right, let's see if the trend continues, I hope the Habs go through and win the cup.

Good luck with that..

[puckluck2]

The Hawks have played so many games over the past few seasons, it's not surprising to me that a team as good as the Kings are the one team that could take them out. I think they would have been a lot better off if so many players weren't in the Olympics this year, and instead had gotten a break. Just look how good Seabrook has been, and he's their best player who wasn't in Sochi.

Kings have played just as much. No?

LA has better D and G, that's the difference in this series. Nothing to do with fatigue.

Well they didn't get to the finals, and had a few less players play in Sochi (10 to 7). LA is playing better, but I see some fatigue in the Hawks game. Take Sharp for example, who has been slumping ever since he came back from Russia. Even Keith played much better in the first half of the season.

Maybe LA making them look bad? Not sure, but both teams have played a ton lately so no edge there IMO,

Don't see the Hawks turning this game around. Kings to the final it is!

The panel's saying they look tired, which is exactly what I am seeing as well.

The Hawks have been a huge dissapointment in this series. Much of the credit has to go to Darryl Sutter for the way he has been able to shut down the trio of Kane, Sharp and Toews.

Well, scratch that. Much needed goal for them.

[nik-]

Cole is still so great when it comes to the rises and falls in the emotion of the game.

Crazy to think that tonight could be the last time we ever hear him.
