Stanley Cup Final: Los Angeles Kings vs New Jersey Devils: Game of Thrones

[Nasty_Magician]

One thing I'm really noticing is the Devils get outplayed the last 5 minutes of just about every period. That's directly related to the amount of games it took to get to the finals and the rest between the conference finals and the finals. When you're playing a team that seems to do no wrong and is well rested you have to capitalize on the opportunities given to you if you have any hope of beating them. The Devils have not done that and they simply don't have enough left in the tank to come back.

Not that it matters much but it looks like Sykora in JJ out for game 4

I personally would have swapped Poni for Sykora. He hasn't done a whole lot in these playoffs and then it would just be winger for winger as opposed to having to move somebody to center now (most likely Zubs). It's probably too little too late though as you said.

A tweet from James Duthie:

In their 12 Games 1-2-3 of playoffs, the Kings have trailed for a grand total of 18:03

impressive, but he's cherry picking stats

Kings trailed for about 32 minutes in their 3-1 loss in Game 4 against Van.

Yes, but we're talking about games 1 through 3 (no game 4's)

shit shit shit

Actually sitting JJ for Sykora (a hard HIGH shot makes sense. Move Elias back to cenetr and reunite the Elias Sykora Zubrus line,

Boston Bruins set a record with a poor Power Play last year at 11.2%

Kings are currently at 10.1%

Forgot about that fact...the PP hasn't clicked even with Stevens (apart from last night) at the helm but I don't want Stevens gone.

You could go to a place with a TV and make sure to face it. That way it looks like you are looking at her but you are really watching the game.

I have hard enough of a time looking at her eyes and not her breasts.



Played some drop-in today in my Devils jersey. Made some sweet double-pad stacks and kick saves. I tried to play the puck like Brodeur too, but that part didn't go as well.
