Kings smashed out the final game in commanding fashion, good for them (booooo!!!) they were clearly the best team of the play offs and got the chocolates on home ice!
No more hockey for a while which sucks at it took some of my attention from the Dees..
Would be great to see the Celts vs Okies in the finals. I detest the Okies and I was a mad Sonics fan and f ing hate Clay and his cronies but in sayin gthat Kevin Durant is such a brilliant player to watch. The last tilt at a title for KG, Ray Ray and Pierce vs the youngsters and LeBron I just can not like.
Since the 1st round/start of 2nd rnd it has been a really good clean playoffs and thats been good to see.
Anyways here's a good run down:

Wowsa! Best team by a long long way. Best goalie performance you'll possibly ever see. 2 man advantage for the Devs and could not get a shotpast Quick... dominance. Going to miss the hockey!!
GTG they had plenty of chances to hit the net but just couldn't do it, definately is the Kings to lose from here. Will be one of the biggest chokes of all time if they do lose it. Fingers crossed.....
Nnnnnooooooo!! Kings in OT and up 2 nil. Devils will not be able to come back from here. Seeing one of the great goal tending dual if all time in this series, can the Devs break down Quick and get some high hard shots on him as it just seems there is no way in down low.
Devs shooting heaps now but just can't get it just hope it is not a case of game one were they get caught pushing up too high and they get caught on the break.
Kings in OT. BBBbooooooo. If Dev's had of been able to sneak that I think they could have won it all but it will be a huge effort if they can win it now.
DEVILS!!! 5-3!!!
Sutter obviously isd a very good coach but man he is horrible to listen to in interviews. Just very dour, almost Mlathouse esk but loves his players!
3-3! or is it.. Ref's checking it... GOAL! Playoff hockey is one the best sports you will see anywhere in the world. Skill, aggression, never give up attitude, massive hits and plenty of red lights!
Go Devs!
1-1 after 1st period, Yotes should be up by a goal with plenty of fast breaks but can't get enough puck on the goalie. Kings short handed goal is a killer.
11-1 GTG, wowsa they will be very tough to beat. Would love to know how much "ice time"/game time they have played compared to Rangers or Devils over the playoffs.
Kings dominating! And indeed the Eastern teams need the Kings to be pushed to at least the full 7 games but even if that happens they are a whole lot fresher than the Eastern teams and are playing what appears to be crisper hockey. The caveat to that is the Eastern teams seem to play with more ferocity in closing down the puck and shot blocking to the couple of games I have seen from the Western side of the draw.
Devils up 1-0, come on Devils!
