Sutter was right at the press conference:
The Kings played better in game one versus game two.

But, you should know that in playoffs and esp. hockey...the team playing best doesn't always win the game.

How often have you seen games where a team just hangs around and hangs around despite being hemmed in their own zone for most of the game and wins it on some flukey bounce in OT...?


Kinda what makes hockey so fun. Unlike basketball, you can't decide a series/season by stacking a team with as many all-stars as possible.

Hawks will right the ship.
I expect them to have their best game for game 3.

They are resilient just like L.A.

Fun fact, regular season Kings & Rangers split one win a piece, Rangers won both games against the Blackhawks.

Cuz like...regular season really matters come playoffs. If that were the case, why didn't the Kings lie down against the Ducks or lose last night?

And didn't the Bruins win the Prez Trophy...?

I mean, it's nice and all...but, the playoffs is a such a different beast. Yesterday's game against the Kings/Hawks was a prime example of how weird playoffs are for this sport...and more so than any other sport too.


Hawks were in complete control of the game until with about less than 2 minutes left in the 2nd where a weird bounce goal goes in. Completely takes the air out of the team...then, 2 ensuing PPs in the 3rd where the Hawks once-formidable PK was up and both result in goals. Game. Set. Match. 6 goals later......

See you in LA.

Hockey can turn in a second.

These were my points yesterday when Moogelin0 was spouting all the meaningless regular season facts.

I was pointing out the silliness thereof.

Ah, I think I'm starting to understand the random violence towards these kids and puppies. They were black weren't they? We all know how you people from Boston feel about blacks.

YOU said the East has no chance & used regular season stats to back that ish up.


I said I have no idea who will win, then used regular season stats as you did except to show it is meaningless.

You came back with lols & poor attempts at jimmy rustling.

I'm loling all the way to the cup (whith whoever hoists it)

Sure wish the Kings could have kept "the piece" in LA.

I'm sure he wishes he could have stayed as well.
