    Sounds good to me. Gives me more of a reason to post and check in regularly anyway.

    Now if the Devil's played 3 full periods they would wind every single game. They lucked out the other night, and so far tonight showed they wanted to win....Then decided they weren't sure.

    The Kings look unbeatable right now. I don't see the Devils coming back in this one. They are all tight games but the game of inches is being won by LA right now.

    The proverbial "Fat Lady" is warming up her voice. Kings sure brought it the entire playoffs. Looking forward to them winning their first cup ever.

    It's funny that you would use that analogy because that is exactly what I was thinking.

    It's looking like each year's Cup winner will be someone new. I think the dynasty type of team is a thing of the past.

    Got to admire the Kings roll thru the playoffs. It is hard to imagine a #8 seed so dominating in the playoffs. I was pretty down on my Blues when they got swept in Round 2, but I feel quite a bit better now.

    As a Devil's fan I will give credit where credit is due.

    The King's are younger, faster and bigger. Quick is quicker.

    It also looks like they did more review of how the Devils play, they just seem to be playing smarter and one step ahead of my team.

    Nonetheless, the playoffs this year were awesome and there still one more game left. At least we beat the Rangers!

    Either John Madden is one lucky guy or he is an integral team player that really shines in the playoffs. Winning Stanley Cups with the Devils, Blackhawks and now on the verge with the Kings. Players like him and Staios seem to thrive in the playoff environment. But how big was the trade of Johnson for Carter look now? That and the King's best players getting healthy really added more scoring depth but to me, the King's blue line is the biggest reason. They're huge, hit hard and very good at moving the puck up the ice. They traded away a #1 pairing D man and haven't missed a beat.

    The Kings look legit and I'm happy for them...The Stanley Cup the hardest to achieve and the most covented of all the major sports...
