Bad turnover by Rangers turns into Kings winner in OT.

Kings started the game with Hawk hangover.

But their constant pounding of the Rangers took their legs away in the 3rd period.

If Kings can pull it off Saturday, could be a quick series. Then again with this Kings team they need to have a losing streak every series, so probably goes 6.

This is definitely their MO, they grind teams down. This year I have had to learn to relax when they get down early, as they so often do, and just hope they make their breaks in the 2nd-3rd periods. Justin Williams is scary good when the stakes are high.

Welp, Kings probably have Rangers right where they want them. Down 2-0 early again.

Last night was LA Kings hockey, strong forecheck, grreat goal tending, and capitalizing on Ranger mistakes. This one is probably over Wednesday. When a team plays a couple of terrible games and still wins (1 &2) the other team is gonna have a real issue when that team actually picks it up again.

Hopefully I will get to take my 2nd picture with the cup in a few days. Can't wait.

Game 5 tonight, ticket prices insane in Los Angeles.
Got offered $5K for my 2 seats, but not going to pass up the chance to see the greatest trophy in sports hoisted (should the Kings be fortunate enough to win)

If the lose I will be kicking myself for not selling :swoon:

The USA vs Japan rugby tickets at the Stubhub Center are much cheaper. Cash in those Stanley Cup tickets and still have $4980 left over! Nah....not worth it. GO KINGS GO!

Good luck to the Kings tonight. It's a heck of a party if you win. Last year was freaking awesome for my Blackhawks!

If you're not watching this, you should be. I want the Rangers to pull this one out, but the Kings are bound to score if they keep this pressure up

huh, that feels like so long ago. We were leaving for vacation at about 3am after the game ended. Husband (big fan) was working late, was coming home at the end of the game. He said he parked the car and they were down the 1 or two goals (I forget what it was) and figured it was over with the minute or so left in the game. He opened the door to the apartment as they scored that winning goal at the end. That was a long night of no sleep for him then with packing.

This announcer guy for this game gets SO excited, haha.

He makes me look up from reading the riveting "should we have a news only thread" thread, that's for sure. You know which announcer I don't like? That guy who looks like a certain male body part. Dude is always in the players' personal space.

Let's get a Kings win just so I can stop seeing the Advil, Discover Card, Coors Light, Enterprise, etc. commercials.

Especially the Discover Card ads.....
