    As a casual fan, I absolutely love it! Let's have every game go into OT!

    I didn't see the game, but it looks like you got your wish.
    And how 'bout those Kings?! My guess is, is that the city of St.Loo is in shock!
    The Preds better wake up or that series will be over before they knew what hit 'em.

    Might be nice if the Blues actually show up for a game.

    I think that series is done...looks like I'll be a spectator for the rest of the Cup series with no dog in the hunt.

    Disappointing performance by the Blues, but the Kings are a good team...it's not that big of a shock...I think the Kings
    will contend for the Cup. Peaking at the right time.

    It seems to me that hockey can be kinda funny with the home ice. I've seen in the past where a team lost the 1st two games at home & then won the next two on the road. Don't give up hope yet, but the next game is an obvious must win for the Blues & then see what happens from there.

    Ugh, tough loss for the Rangers yesterday. Let's hope they do well in Washington.

    I hope so, but I'm not feeling very confident.

    Me either. A win yesterday at home would have been awesome. It would have given us a nice cushion of a lead in the series. Now we're tied and off to Washington. Ugh.

    I almost went to that game yesterday with my wife, glad I didn't now because I would have been really angry.

    Bump.

    LA Kings are up 3 games to naught over the NJ Devils in the Finals...

    1 win away from capturing the Cup.

    Since they swept the StL Blues, I don't feel so bad...apparently the Kings are for real and peaked at the right time.

    that is all...

    I'm Not a fan of the Kings, But I am a hockey fan.

    I hope they seal the deal tonight in front of the hometown crowd. THAT will be cool to see.

    I love hockey, but I can't stand either of these teams. I guess I want the Kings to win since they've never won it.

    I agree with you that I can't stand either of these two teams. Here's a test for you, can you name one player on either team? I sure can't.

    Name a player?
    Brodeur, the Devils' goalie.

    Devils win game 5...and stay alive, but I think it's more a stay of execution.

    I don't see them beating the Kings 3 more times.

    Having said that, the next game isn't until Saturday...the season has dragged on too long and TV ratings for the Cup Finals show it..
