I don't follow hockey like I follow basketball, but Los Angeles is my favorite city, naturally I want the Kings to bring it home.

The longer the Devils go without scoring, the tougher it'll be later on Quick. 0-2 on the PP, 0-14 in the series. Kovie looks...bad.

Been injured all series, and most of the playoffs with something nagging here or there. Wish he could just get healthy already.

Oh, and it wasn't a sweep. Huzzah for that, at least.

I know, but still. He looks invisible most nights. But I know playing injured is tough, but pretty much everyone is playing with someone by now. Some worse than others, and that might be Kovie.

You know Paul Holmgren is grinding his teeth to possibly seeing Carter and Richards lifting the Cup

I don't mean to sound like the troll Devils fan, considering it seems I'm the sole fan in this thread, but I'm really glad we spoiled the perfect road record. Getting ready for game six, though. See through it.

Wow. What a series of events. The Devils are pissed about that "missed" call right before the Bernier's hit from behind. People's thoughts on this? I thought that the hits were much different (not as dangerous)and the correct call was made. I would also like to add that a championship team would've weathered a storm like that. Aside from giving up three goals to giving up just one. And that third goal was completely on Marty.

@DownGoesBrown: Good job! Good effort! Good job! Good effort! Not you Bernier, you suck! young Devil fans." Wow. What a run. What a job done by Sutter. Richards and Carter win a Cup...wonder how Homgren and Lavie feel bout that? Gotta give credit to the Devils. Made it a series, but in the end, just didn't have enough. What an excellent job done by DeBoer, having this team come out of nowhere.

I can't believe the Kings: fired their coach, bring in Sutter to much controversy, have the worst offense in hockey, or thereabouts, fighting for the 8th spot all 2nd half, bring Carter in and almost traded their captain. And Doughty didn't sign till August.

Yes, they sure did. Fighting for 8th really helped this team. It just all worked out.

Draft rumors :P Lots of talk T.O wants to move up for Yakupov, and Schenn is apperently invovled.

About realignment, I doubt there will be much talk about that. Gotta get the CBA worked out first and formost, and that divisions isn't really up to them.

I'm sorry. Its not my fault. I wanted Kessel to stay but he wanted to leave. It will be hard not mention those guys. You and Gamer are one of the few hockey fans that constantly post here.

Well, even though the Bruins lost it was nice to see a new team win the Stanley Cup. Have high hopes for the Bruins next year and congrulations to the Kings.

I think it's hilarious that the waste Sharks are now the only team in CA without a championship when they are always the most hyped of any of the 3 teams. The last couple of years they didn't get much hype, but for like the 5 years prior to that gosh they got a lot of d*ck riding. F*** the Sharks and their stink fans... remind me of Egals fan.

Are you like related to put_kitna(sp?) and the other posters that keep using that word collectively.

Congrats Kings! Diehard fan since the opening round.

Coming home i was a bit worried until i saw the crazy girl screaming out of the car down the boulevard, then i saw a few fireworks going off, then i realized "maybe that's what those helicopters were about?" The cup is carried around in back of a Honda Odyssey? Thank you ESPN for finally talking about the Kings, then they go on to say "but how long will it last?" :roll: My brother said "You guys barely backed in as an 8 seed, what are ya gonna do?" Well hey as long as you get in you have a chance sucka! All the noise the Sharks made, freakin funny the Kings are the ones who finally win it. After blowing that game 4-0 in last years playoffs against them, Kopi going down with the broken ankle, knowing they should have pushed the Nucks farther in 2010 it's great to finally see this. Thanks Mr. Lombardi! Sutter! I wasn't aware yet that the "Tanner head" guy has passed away, as Bob said this is for all the Kings fans who didn't get to see it! :) Quickie! I remember when he first came up how good he was and wondered if he was going to be the guy to take this team deep, sure you need the team but the goaltender has to be able to step it up to elite level to win it all, it was frustrating at times but you knew he could be lights out! Love this guy, also he seems to hate the limelight like an introvert such as me, i want to hear what he has to say! My cousin was actually watching it, i wonder if he will be more into hockey now, see ya at the parade! *pops Colt 45* Good series conscrumpted, this could have easily gone to 7 games and the Devils could have gotten the bounces to win it, see ya!

Agreed. Enjoy the Cup, my friend. The Kings, and especially Quick, deserve it after the postseason they've had. As for you being an 8th seed, I think anyone who knows hockey would agree they weren't a regular 8th seed, and especially didn't play like it come playoffs. So enjoy it.

I know I haven't constantly posted here, as I did state my reasons for that recently (lol vidya games), but i really did follow the playoffs, and I actually finished 6th in my playoff bracket. Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings on their outstanding performance in the playoffs to earn their first Stanley Cup. They did what Gretzky, Robataille, Kurri, McSorley, Hrudey couldn't do in 1993. X360, cherish this moment for the rest of your life. You're going to remember this one for a long time.

Speaking of brackets, I think I only picked 3 series wrong all playoffs...2nd and 3rd round by the Devils and I said Bruins over Caps. I'm to lazy to check right now. And now it's the Blues and Leafs with longest Cup droughts...race is on!

And I read an article that had the Leafs odds 12th or something to win the cup. 2nd best Canadian team.

What, does this guy think we draft Nail, get a goalie, get Nash/Parise? Cause that probably what needs to happen. Maybe a bit too much, this team was in 6th in Feb. if my memory is right.

People now forget that POS from the Sharks how stuck his stick out from the bench on a Kings breakaway to knock away the puck :lol: Brodeur and the Devils were pretty classy, unlike that Mike Smith guy and his Yotes.
