I am happy with Quick's performance. The offense missing Mike Richards and a healthy a Kopitar has been the biggest detriment for the Kings. All that and the fact that Chicago is the best team in the league.

I agree. I can't fault Quick. He is playing as well as last year, but the King's offense has dried up, due in part to the fact they are playing a superior team (so far).

Not counting out the Kings yet, but they need to generate some offense in a bad way. They have been through two physical seven game series and don't appear to have the same legs the Blackhawks have. Quick is a major reason they have made it as far as they are right now.

Minus 1 period, Quick has been phenomenal. Toffoli has played well, but with a healthy Richards, this series is probably 2-2. (From a Hawks fan)

No one's denying that Quick has been great this series. But he's also been very lucky. I'm only saying that it's stupid to say beating the Bruins will be near impossible because Rask is playing at a very high level right now. The Blackhawks are an extremely talented team. Assuming they can win one of the next three, they will give Boston all they can handle. Jimmy Howard was playing at a very high level against the Hawks, too.

Bruins and the Blackhawks would be a great matchup. The way the Bruins came back vs. Toronto in Game 7 & the numerous clanks off the post by PIT makes me believe that they may be a team of destiny this year. On the other hand, the Blackhawks can make a good team look average too. They are a mentally strong team with skill across the board at all positions.

The Pens are the Miami Heat of the NHL (except for the 1 championship), a bunch of soft, spoiled pendejos that just got their a$$ handed to them by a harder working team.

Congrats on your Bruins advancing to the finals, but Pittsburgh wasn't out-worked or out-hit in the series. I'll give you Letang, but Crosby and Malkin aren't soft or lazy. There isn't a GM in the league who wouldn't take those players over anyone on Boston's roster. Crosby's diving poke check and helmet-less scramble to put a chance on net in OT of game 3 was all heart.

Boston had absolutely phenomenal goaltending and a bit of luck like my Kings did last season. If just a couple of many shots that hit the crossbar go in, or the ref calls that blatant hooking on Jagr, we could be looking at a different series. You sell your own team short by downplaying how good Pittsburgh is.

Not selling the Penguins short, but Boston lured them (Crosby and Malkin included) into playing their game, both 1 & 2, in their house. Good job of rebounding in Games 3 & 4, but Boston was in their groove at that point. They sure did not suffer from a lack of chances.

Really like the Kings and their grit/heart. Have a gut feeling that they have some banged up players (every team does at this point, but they have played two grueling series). I also think they are really missing Mitchell too (along with Richards).

LET'S GO BLACKHAWKS!!!!!

Go Kings Go!

Great save there, Quick.

And again.

I would like to rescind my earlier praise of Quick.

Ouch.

Goal!

Short handed? Ugh.

What a save by Quick!

FML

2-2

3-1

GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL

Kaner!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable

Welcome back Mike Richards

Pathetic.

Boom. Kings bite the dust.

KANER WITH THE HAT TRICK!!!!!

Sucks to lose in 2OT after clawing our way back, but I'm proud of the way the Kings played. They showed a ton of heart, but ultimately lost to a better team.

Congratulations and best of luck to Chicago, it should be a great final.

Kings are a great team. Nothing easy against them.

Chicago in 5 maybe 6

I hope the final is more of a series than either of these two, though the Kings showed some crazy fight at the end. I think it'll be good.

LET'S GO BLACKHAWKS!!!!!
