The Ducks have a legit chance to win it all. It could be Kings and Ducks 2, Sharks 0. So much for the Ducks automatically screwing themselves by rehiring Carlyle.
Let's not make any assumptions from this series, neither one of them are gonna make it to the final.
Looked like Larsson lost his man too, as usual.

I still think he's a lousy head coach, but I always said they'd still make the playoffs in spite of him. I'm also not sure if Carlyle is really any worse of a coach than Boudreau. I'd say he is, I'm just not sure if it's by all that much. Boudreau is beyond overrated and has he ever really coached a roster that wasn't that good? Maybe the 07-08 Caps? Maybe?
Remember, Carlyle has also won a cup as a head coach. That doesn't tell me he's a good head coach, it just tells me that a coach with a really great roster can win a cup. Niedermayer, Pronger and Selanne certainly help things out. Bylsma and Hartley also won cups as head coaches, they were also worthless. If you can't win just one cup with Roy, Sakic, Blake, Bourque.... I won't count Forsberg, as he was injured during those playoffs.

If Anaheim wins this next game, do we count it as T-Macs second career reverse sweep?
Of course. Losing four straight after being up 2-0 is just as bad as losing four straight after being up 3-0. People just for some reason act like it isn't. The Blues got reverse swept after being up 2-0 in 2014 as well but no one remembers that.
