TrueBlueGED Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Not sure why people have been complaining about this series. This game has been great. Sure it sucks not to have a team to back emotionally as we would the Sabres but there is something to be said about watching a game with an unbiased view. Lots to like from both teams as far as the emotion and effort and sacrifice. They're leaving it all out there. On another note Pyatt has really turned it on this playoff season and had some memorable plays. I think the series as a whole has been pretty "meh" since the Kings just completely dominated the first three games. I don't like one-sided affairs...even with the Sabres they bore me unless it's against one of my truly hated teams. On the other hand, I agree that this game has been fantastic...it's taken me 2 hours (and counting) to finish what I'm working on because I keep watching the game for long stretches.

darksabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 The officiating is awful. OMG. They just get worse and worse as the game goes on. The players on both teams are beside themselves. And there it is! Kings win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Penner on Jonathan Quck "You mean Vezina Smythe?" Well I thourougly enjoyed OT and still believe the Kings will win the cup. Hope to see a good finals and I agree that the conference finals were somewhat dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series was much closer than the 4-1 result indicates, and Phoenix played LA better than any other team. LA just has a little more raw talent and it's getting them what they need. It also appears that Sutter might be the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluca67 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Congrats to the Kings, what a great job they have done . Richards in the off-season, coaching change mid-season and when Jeff Carter became available they jumped on the opportunity. Looking forward to a great Finals.

Marvelo Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Strikes me about how players who don't produce during the year become pivotal at this time of the year. so maybe if the Sabres snuck in, maybe a Leino might've become a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Dance Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 i don't think there's any need to throw your proverbial arms around that broadcaster as one of the "gals." from where i sit, her lack of fluency with hockey has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with where she grew up and what she grew up watching. Agreed - take a look at the stiff Channel 4 has reading the news on the weekends, Lou something or other. Aside from mispronouncing names of various communities in WNY, he reads the news the way most people would read the classifieds. And his attempts at banter are laughable. I give him another month before he is tossed to the scrap heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Was Dustin Browns hit late in the game suspendible ? IMO it was unnecessary and he seemed to go out of his way to make the hit. He had to reach to hit the target area of the opponents leg which makes the hit avoidable. Ugly hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consensus from who? The Coyotes players? IMO no penalty. That was a good open ice hit. The whistle sounds at the same time as the hit yet some say it was after the whistle, Brown makes no move to stick out his leg and keeps the same path to the player hitting him first (by a split second) in the shoulder and the rest of his body follows through. Rosival knows better to be cutting across the middle like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazielSabre Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 This is why us gals don't get taken seriously when it comes to hockey. http://youtu.be/2Y1a4-MpU-8 That was like listening to Americans commentate on Football (proper Football) 10 years ago. Then you got further than us in the World Cup and the tables got turned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't go out of his way to throw it and with all that traffic, it was completely unavoidable. Nothing will happen with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark my words, the day will come where we be talking about Brown getting his behind handed to him... I've never really thought of him as a particularly dirty player. He's gritty, skilled, and goes hard. I like him and I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
