#5 Los Angeles Kings vs #1 Chicago Blackhawks WCF series thread

[Ho_Brah]

wtf? games 1 & 2 are back to back. I guess the NHL really want the Blackhawks to win.

On the bright side, Chicago’s PP is TERRIBLE. It’s beyond brutal. THANK YOU JAMIE KOMPON

GO KINGS GO!!!!!

Rolling Stones on Friday and Monday
I think the back to back will result in a split
If the Kings find their offense they could win this series
If not Quick will have to be even more godlike

Go Kings Go!

I really don't like Sutter. I hope the Hawks figure out how to sustain pressure.

I'll just drop this here:

TSNBobMcKenzie: LAK announce they've signed Robyn Regehr to 2 year extension. @DarrenDreger reports it's an AAV of $3M.

Dutter is obviously a big fan of Regehr.

Edit: Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris 3m There wasn't a NMC/NTC included with Robyn Regehr's two-year extension with the #LAKings

Just twist that knife a little more in my back Dutter

Ever notice how Darryl Sutter resembles Popeye? Keep looking...you'll see it.

I hope Quick takes the round off.

Maybe Quick gets hurt in Game 1 warmups and pulls a Niklas Backstrom.

This series could be over one way or the other in the first weekend.

I agree with these sentiments.

I just hope we get Stoll back soon. He has been practicing with the team these past few days (no contact).He is such a key player in the PK and FO, especially winning draws in the defensive zone. Anze has been taking more defensive zone FO in his absence.While Kopitar is a solid defensive player capable of handling that task, it doesn't help him in the scoring department. Top centers generally get sent out for more draws in the offensive zone. That matters even more when the Kings are reliant on their top six for most of their scoring.

As a third line center, Stoll was very effective this season at limiting scoring chances against when partnered with Trevor Lewis. Lewis would shift back to wing, and Toffoli could move down to the fourth line.

For now, I'm going to assume Stoll won't be in Game 1--and I wouldn't want him to rush it, either, however tempting that may be. But it does sound like we will see him back soon. That's very good.
