This series should be 1-1 right now. Coyotes vastly outplayed Nashville tonight, but Nashville owned game 1. I really, really, really want Nashville to make it to the Conference Finals but Game 2 didnt show me a team desperate to be there. They really lack a #1 center capable of creating offense.

Hard to see LA losing a game if they find their offense like they did last night.

After struggling in regular season for goals, who would of thought Kings would figure it out in playoffs and beat teams like Canucks and Blues. Simply amazing.

The Kings look like they are my pick to win it all this year, Dustin Brown maybe the best pure power forward in hockey today. The guy is great and I have been a fan of Kopitar for a while great to see that team going in the right direction for a change.

The Kings have had the talent all year long, it just took them a while to get things going. Picking up Jeff Carter was icing on the cake for them.

Yeah they needed just that one piece I guess Carter was that missing puzzle piece. Too me The Sharks are in the same boat a team that is a sure fire cup pick but just can't get over the hump. I thought they would be players for somebody at the deadline like Michael Cammalleri

:o Triple overtime in Washington. The Nashville game will end before this one.

That was a great game by the Preds. Except of course the stupid decision by Trotz to give Brandon Yip power play time.

Some of the best saves have been blocks from players diving all over the place.

I can't tell you all how refreshing it is to watch a Devils game and not have it be a viable substitute to Ambien.

A brutal rebound by Bryzgalov, but a hell of a shot by Ponikarovsky

Brutal? Sure but that's OT for you and actually not one of the worst I've seen in OT.

Too bad this matchup had to come so soon, woulda been fun to see them win and go on another round.

But I'm happy for the kings.

Makes you aware what the Canucks faced in round 1. the for-checking of the Kings is brutal as far as the Blues are concerned. It's going to be nearly impossible to get 3 goals, let a lone 4 against Quick.
