I suspect that this series won't be anywhere close to a repeat of the last one for the Wild. The Wild did a great job of clogging up the neutral zone against the Avs (even in games where they lost), but Chicago just skates right through them and gains the zone. Unless Minny somehow figures out how to stop that, it's gonna be a short series for them.

The Wild looked pretty good in game one, then went back to their Wild ways in game two.... at least they did in the first period, as I kinda fell asleep.


The Rangers will completely waste Lundqvist's career.

wow Marc Andre actually has been playing pretty damn well the past few games. That could be scary for the East.

Spend the last 45 seconds looking for the perfect shot... :spock:

Fleury's looking good. That's a solid two wins on back to back nights.

Fleury!! Back to back shutouts. If he gets back to '09 form lookout

Damn without those Dmen Quick is going to have to be lights out.

Damn that the exact start the Kings needed.

Getzlaf has looked slow as shit. I'm convinced he's playing with a lower body injury.

Panic time for Anaheim for sure.

Yeah well I'm sure the Sharks felt good up 2-0 too.

Anaheim is refusing to adjust to the Kings style. Sure you can fire 40 shots, but if they're garbage "one & done" shots, they're not going to win you games.

Taking both games in the Pond, very ****ing HUGE for the Kings, well done!

No question, a fantastic start to the series. I'm confident that a veteran team like the Kings won't relax. However, I am still expecting a 6 game series.


Kings split at Staples, lose Game 5 in Anaheim, and win it at Staples in 6. Hopefully.

Preds get Peter Laviolette! A bit of a retread but a good get.
