Rangers apparently trying the opposite strategy this game.

Just give them the cup.

Quick's playing like a boss tonight.

Well, that wasn't even worth watching.

Do not concur. :D

I love seeing the Rags fail.

lol i seen that when i went to the canucks game in the 2012 playoffs. so true.

Damn these bullshit king playoff runs!!!

Tonight's the night for the Kings to wear their crowns again.

A little part of me wanted this to go back to LA to win at home, plus I had the chance at going to the game...but you just want to finish it off.

I think the Rangers will come out breathing fire early, maybe go up a goal or two, and then the size/depth of the Kings kicks in again. Hopefully I'm right.

I don't think I've ever seen a puck just sit down like that. Crazy.

Also, Sutter apparently doesn't like the Roy approach tonight.

I thought the Kings should have pulled Quick much sooner. They were just pounding NY's zone, save the one shot down by Nash.

Games 1 and/or 2 probably should have gone to the Rangers, and last night should have been LA. It's hockey.

Now it's time for LA to deliver the knockout punch tomorrow night at home.

I think a Hockey God stopped it.

Anybody care about this thing anymore? :sulk:

Tie game. Woot.

Yes but the Rangers have to win tonight for me to really care.

It's getting better...that was an insane shot.

Incredible.

Damn, Kings are gonna end it tonight, no way the Rangers get the momentum back.

Kings are definitely on a mission right now.

Gonna have a Richards or Nash sighting soon. I can feel it.

Someone probably needs to let the Rangers know they can't win the game if the puck never leaves their defensive zone.

Quick's almost getting bored back there.

Make me eat my words Rangers I'm not ready for hockey to be over.

Can't complain about the action in this one. Fun game.

That was a pretty wild pace for an OT. Let's see if the 2nd one has that much action.

Man. Did someone put a forcefield around the nets?

The Q and L forcefields... two of the strongest.

Nash wants that one back. Net was wide open.

This may be the best hockey game I've ever seen.

That'll do it.

Wow

Man. It's so damn sudden. No more hockey. :(

Won it off a rebound goal

Only 3.5 months until hockey.

Well, despite only winning 1, I thought the Rangers were pretty damn competitive. Can't be fun to lose, but they made a hell of a run.

Love seeing teams win the cup at home.

Congrats to the Kings

What an ending.

Thank you. Thank you very much. :D

WHOOOOO!
I LOVE BEING A KINGS FAN!!!

Did CaliforniaChief end up getting tickets to this game?

Booing Bettman was really weak. :shake:

He gets booed every year. It was actually pretty mild comparatively.

Wait, booing him was in bad form or not booing him enough?
If anything, he needs to be booed more.

Mother**** the Kings

Should have said that differently... he wasn't booed enough. It being mild was the problem.

He's usually booed much worse than that. He got off light this year.

It was a lot of fun watching these two. You have to feel for Lundqvist - what a playoff run he had.

True. Lundqvist carried NY and it was sad to see him lose. On the other hand, I've followed the Kings for years and am glad they won. I'm surprised hockey hasn't caught on more in this country. It's a great game.

I felt awful for him, he gave them chance after chance in those road games and his offense left him high and dry.

I didn't get to go, so watched it at home, but not live as I had a grad party. Fortunately nobody at the party is into sports, so no ruined surprises.

Probably had 4 heart attacks and 3 TIAs, but woke up this morning.


It's great to be on top again. So proud of those guys.

Champions again!

Now if only the other teams I root for could learn to win when it matters like the Kings :banghead:

Depends on the team, honestly. Canucks and Devils fans have booed him far worse than any other fanbase. In contrast, Panthers and Lightning fans didn't boo him at all in '96 or '04.

Still basking in the glory of it all, here's the clip of the winning goal as called by Bob Miller and Jim Fox, long time Kings broadcasters:

Congrats bud - y'all definitely deserved it. Cheers from this Ducks fan.

Thanks man...I anticipate a lot of great Southern California Freeway Face-offs in the future.

Football fans might think it's a bit homerish, but I do enjoy having home-town announcers for sporting events sometimes. It's fun to hear guys who are genuinely excited about the outcome.

Congrats on the win, man. Color me jealous.

You've got an up and coming team that will be challenging for years to come, as does Anaheim and Chicago (not up and coming, just coming). It was awesome to watch the parade today.

NBC had homer announcers.... problem was, they were all Rags homers :banghead:

With Laviolette in Nashville, I am ready for the new season now. Hope they can get a proven scorer, and maybe a project type scorer.

ROFL...that's awesome.

She's a ****ing idiot for wearing heels on ice.

That's ****ing awesome.

Yeah, heels on ice probably isn't a good idea. LMAO that was awesome.

She wasn't the only one. If you find the You Tube clip, it's a wider shot, and there are a bunch of broads dressed like hookers on the ice.

Blues v. Stars on September 27th at Sprint Center.

MacKinnon wins the Calder.
Roy wins the Jack Adams.
O'Reilly wins the Lady Byng.

And yet O'Reilly may walk away in a year. :sulk:

Sweet... the other day the news was O'Reilly was looking for 1yr/$6.75 million... not only overpaid, but requiring this crap again next year as he would've been an RFA again.
