Stanley Cup Playoffs Start This Week

LA Kings are in and face off against the San Jose Sharks. I hope they make a decent run of it since their top two goal scorers are out for the season. Well Kopitar is out for the season and Williams is expected back in game 1, but I don't think he'll be to effective with that bum shoulder.

Back at the start of the season you were complaining about the Kings slow start and I was complaining about the Sharks being in the same boat. Don't look now but look who is playing in the first round. Sharks in 5.

Yeah, but the Sharks are pretty much got their roster in tack. The Kings are missing Kopitar and Williams. So as much as I love the Kings I don't see them doing much damage in the playoffs. Hopefully the Sharks make it to the Finals this year. I can't imagine what would happen to them if they fail again.

Well there are two ways of looking at game 3. Complete collapse or what a fucking comeback. On to game 4 tonight.

There's a blade on the Kings throat.

I was seeing the updates of the game last night in the casino. Thought they may pull it out until I saw 5-2 and new they were cooked. Damn San Jose. Maybe we can hope for a small miracle and San Jose falls apart now and the Kings win 3 straight!

Tall order.

Well that sure sucked.

Pavelski is from my hometown, kid's sick, and he might just end your playoff hopes tonight... Good series so far.

Missing Kopitar made a huge difference. The Sharks escaped by the hair on their dorsel fin. Looks like you had a great time in Vegas.
