Holy ****, WE'RE IN THE STANLEY CUP FINAL!

 

[KingWantsCup]

Almost every major media voice is picking the Kings yet the fans on their board are still complaining that they don't get the respect and attention they deserve. They also seem to have this feint inferiority complex to New York on a city to city level.

Guys/gals, let's try and leave what's being said on other boards...on other boards. Thanks.

This is so surreal.

It doesn't feel like it's the Cup. I just can't believe we've made it. Wow.

We're one of the final two teams... Wake me up... After years of watching other teams, this is our chance. This is our time. Loving every second of it.

I don't want to wake up. This is surreal.

To be 100% honest it still hasn't completely hit me yet. I feel like this all happened so fast, even though it's been a long journey with 20 out of a possible 21 games played.

Robyn Regehr returning gives the Kings blueline a further boost. He's actually quite good and well rested to boot. We'll really need to test his foot speed. He really anchors their third pairing D.

Right now I'm not sure a loss would bring me down, so chuffed to be involved in this and to be in NY!

It hasn't hit me either. It doesn't feel real. I'm like "eh, just more games to play and win", but it's the freaking Cup Final!!

Jonathan Quick left the ice after stopping a shot in practice.
Quick stopped a shot in the shoulder/collarbone area and skated to the boards showing some discomfort. He stayed hunched over by the Kings' bench for a few minutes before leaving the ice without facing another shot.

L...O...L. WHAT is it with us and opposing goalies? Anyway, in all seriousness, wish him well--don't want to see anyone go out like that...

Diagram is Quick's playoff goals allowed/

Yes, with or without soreness.

awesome, MSL is gonna have a field day on that high glove side. That's his jams.

Oooooooh.

What's more intriguing is blocker side. That's where Nash likes to go and where Brassard went several times in the playoffs.

Kreider likes to shoot blocker side too.

Doesn't every city?

And lol about them not getting respect. I can't even. I don't care though, I like the underdog role and you can tell from the pressers that the team is embracing it, too

Not mine, lol...

Not mine, lol...

bwahahaha

A preview of things to come of course

Lmao that's great. Bravo to whoever made that.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

[Algernop Kreider]

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Marty Biron picked the Kings, what a turncoat.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Can Kreider killing goalies be a meme for the rest of his career?
