lol I forgot Dustin Penner is on the team.

So did he for over a year. God he's been so damn awful. But he's good now, which right now is all that matters.

Dustin Brown is definitely an inconsistent player, when he gets away from simple north south hockey he can be a disaster. When he was rumored to be on the trading block it was definitely warranted to some degree, he wasn't playing well at all. Right now he's playing undoubtedly the best hockey of his career. He always brings it physically but I've never seen him put all aspects of his game together like this before.Everything is just going the Kings way right now, everyone is finding ways to contribute. Dwight King with 5 goals, Dustin Penner becoming good at hockey again, the bottom 6 just killing opponents with their forecheck and heavy cycling, Doughty excelling in a shutdown role.. It's across the board, everyone has elevated their game.One win away from the Stanley Cup finals...

And Jonathon Quick.

He's excellent but believe it or not he has been this good all season long so I don't know if I'd say he's stepped up his game that much... His numbers are ridiculous though, but I'd say that's more of a reflection of how much better the team is playing.

Anyway, he's the reason the Kings are even in the playoffs.

Oh I know he's been good all year, I had him in two pools. I'm just saying, you're team is clicking in all areas at the right time like you said, plus Jonathon Quick.

Things are getting interesting in the East.

So... When the New Jersey Devils are the team playing the most interesting hockey in the playoffs, I know there is something seriously wrong with the world. Go Devils go!

Too bad LA destroyed Phoenix- I doubt they're coming back from the 0-3 like that. I'm glad they did so well, but... Maybe it's best that Phoenix doesn't win the cup, what with the team having 15 fans and all.

Exciting contest tonight...

Fun game so far, but my poor nerves..

There, done after a breathtaking OT. I'm amazed the Coyotes agreed to shake Brown's hand, I would have punched him in his face.

I love that guy.

Bruce_Bitenfils

Tompa, are you alright? I'm worried.

Kings in the West, Devils in the East. Interesting times.

It's written in some prophecy that Marty will win the cup this year and retire. So it is written, so it is done.

Bobby Lu is coming to TO.

In Burke we trust.

I'm betting on Tampa Bay (in spite of what Yzerman may say). If they manage to fit his contract in.

Nothing interesting about the Devils in my mind. I still blame them, irrationally or not, for the worst of 90s style hockey.
