The L.A. Kings are looking really good (except for that last game) and are edging closer to another cup appearance (only other one was their loss in '93 to Montreal). Here's hoping they can win it all this time. Just another game (or two) to get rid of the Coyotes, who are starting to show some heart, but we should be good since we have a 3-1 lead in the series and tonight's game is in Phoenix (L.A. hasn't lost on the road yet in the playoffs)...

And congratulations to Russia on their gold medal, what an interesting tourney. Slovakia surprised all as well. Was a fun tournament to watch over the past few weeks...
