After forty-five years, the La Kings have finally won their first Stanley Cup Championship! The Kings have played exceptionally well, and have made the ultimate comeback after they came into the playoffs first round as the 8th seed. In the beginning it barely looked like they were going to make it into the playoffs, but they fought hard for it and didn’t even go to a game 6 in a series until tonight. The devils put up a strong fight as well, as we...
On Wednesday night, the La Kings were poised to win the revered Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history, but one thing stood in their way: The New Jersey Devils. The Kings were up by three game wins and they needed one more win to get the cup on home ice, but the despite the Devils being down they were not out as they pulled through to get their first win of the series. While the Devils were able to get in...
Like the other series leading up to the Cup finals, the LA Kings have the early lead by securing the first two game wins. The New Jersey Devils have faced adversity before, and since this conference is for the Stanley Cup, things might not be within the Kings grasp in two or three more games. This has been evident through how the first two games went into overtime showing the prowess of both goaltenders Jonathan Quick and Marty Broduer, as they continue to keep...
While the Kings were unable to sweep the Coyotes, they did stop their rivals in the 5th game, earning the LA Kings a spot in the Stanley Cup Final Game. A game that the franchise has not been to since 1993. While this is exciting for the team, they have their work cut out for them as they go up against the unexpected Eastern Champions, The New Jersey Devils. The Kings played much like they did in the first two series against the Coyotes,...
While The Kings are ruling the Western Final 2-0, and are facing their third match up tonight, the Devils proved last night that they are not going down without a fight against their heated rivals the New York Rangers. In their first match up, the Rangers came out on top with a shutout win 3-0, but the Devils knew this could not happen again in game two. The Devils knew that in order to win, they had to figure out a way to best Henrik...
Last night the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals played their final battle against each other for the chance to get the Cup, in a Game 7 tiebreaker. The Capitals, who had a rough start earlier this season, were finally out done by the New York Rangers in a 2-1 victory for the Rangers. Since the game was the tiebreaker, the Rangers were not going to let their chance to win the cup slip from their fingers as Brad Richards scored the first...
I think it’s safe to say “Let’s go Kings,” even if you don’t like the Kings, because frankly they came out of nowhere this season. The Kings had a rough season this year, but they managed to just make into the playoffs this post-season. Wherein they proved once again that it doesn’t matter how you get to the Stanley Cup, just that you get there. They took out number one seed Vancouver Canucks in four games, and then did it again with the number...
Yesterday was Hockey Day in America, which really means “hey other sports fans watch hockey!” As a avid hockey fan, I hope the NHL’s marketing ploy worked this year. Compared to other sports, Hockey does not seem to get much of a following in the States as it does in Canada. It’s definitely getting a lot better lately, and there are a lot of big hockey towns in America, but a lot of the cities down south and in the Western Conference don’t seem...
