Game Thread: San Jose Sharks(2) vs. Los Angeles Kings(3) | WCQF

Hope Kings win this in 6 because I am afraid of the Sharks at home Ina game 7.
Out of 5 games only one was not a one goal game. East coast people are going to miss, in my opinion, the best series of the first round. I expect a couple of over times and one of them to be 0-0 after the first 60 minutes. Followed by a bunch of people calling it boring hockey after reading the headline on yahoo but not actually watching the game.

Not true. I live on the East Coast, but will tune into every game. I am looking forward to this series.

This may be the best Western series, but the best overall series, IMO, Rangers/Flyers. More of a storied rivalry between us two.

Gotta bump this, just because, now hold me to this, but I think they play tonight.

And then

I'm in the south (unfortunately), and you bet your ass I'll be watching.

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Sharks coach Todd McLellan confirms Niemi starting tonight

You're going to see guys like Mark Spector complaining about it

As for the series, the way I'd love to see it go is the Kings steal one of the first two games on the road, then win 3 and 4 at home, lose game 5 before winning game 6 - to me that seems like a logical possibility but as you said, a game 7 on the road would be tough

I'd say the most logical possibility is the Big Pavelski going balls deep 4 games straight.

Get in, get out.

FYI, for those out of market, the game is on NHL Network.

Thornton re-directs Pavelski's shot, 1-0 Sharks

 

[esls79]

That didn't take too long

 

[sherbert1421]

Have to bust out my favorite Thornton gif come playoff time

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Like I said, Sharks offense will be too much for the Kings in this series.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Pathetic start by the Kings - terrible

 

[Cobiemonster]

Sharks make it 4-0 - flat out humiliation

 

[davnlaguna]

Now I get home and turn on the TV
What the fuck?
And we are on a 3 on 5 penalty kills
Shot my left foot

 

[Cobiemonster]

5-0 now

Kings will get swept at this rate

 

[davnlaguna]

Well I wasn't expecting them to win two in SJ but I was hoping they would show up

 

[Destroydacre]

Always great to see Quick get lit up.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

SJ making this look easy

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I don't even get to watch this domination.

Wild with ultimate choke

 

[higgyfan4]

thought this would be the best game of the night. I've watched about 2 minutes.
