Congrats Dave - they are rolling for sure.
I've never seen a switch flipped so completely.... Kings lost 5 of 8 to end the reg season, and then boom. 10-1 so far vs the #1, 2 and 3 seeds.
While NY/NJ continue to kick the shit out of each other.

At the start of the year i thought the Kings and Sharks and nucks would be fighting for the conference title. And the kings would make the second round. As the season went on i was hoping the Kings would make the playoffs and then have a good showing. Now i think the finals are a given and I am hoping Nj and Ny beat the hell out of each other and no one does a stick check

 

[puckhead]

lol. nice 'face time'

 

[OregonDucks]

Congrats Kings. Good luck in the Cup.

fuckin eh.







i'e never seen a run like this since i started watching hockey, but that was in 91-92.






is there any historic precedent for something like this?

I read earlier today, the best run ever since all 4 playoffs rounds became best of sevens (I think 1986 was when they changed that) was the 1988 Oilers at 16-2

but were they an 8 seed?

but were they an 8 seed?

and this:

#lakings now 11-1. Since 1980 only other teams to win 11 of first 12 were Detroit in '95& Edm in '83

Probably already posted?

Tippett talking about embellishment making the game dishonest in his press conference. I give Tippet a lot of credit, he's answering a ton of questions compared to Torts pressers..

The Kings are going to win the Stanley Cup.

same here. A bit surreal. Not getting overly excited about their record, but very happy after every win.

No matter what happens, its been a ton of fun.

Excellent... a coach with a good system and a fake team can make it to the playoffs, but will get stomped by a real team any day of the week.

That 3rd period was about as dominant a period as I've ever seen. Te coyotes couldn't do anything. Kings got a little help from the officiating but it didn't matter, coyotes probably coulda played the whole period up a man and it wouldn't have mattered. Impressive.

 

[SLY]

Good for the Kings/fans. Kinda hard to imagine them not winning it all.

Tippetts answer regarding the one question posed about officiating last night was longer than Torts whole post game conference Wednesday night

600!

I was putting my kid to bed at the time and missed it
