@IamCANADIAN013,

Do you think your team will make a run at John Stevens? I know he was a finalist for the job before they hired Torts last year. I would hate to see the Kings lose him, but I think its just a matter of time now!

There have been talks about it in the local media, not really sure how serious they are this time around. I think he would be a good fit with the direction Linden is trying to take the team. I don't see him alone changing the direction of the team.

Would he really want to leave though if the Kings win another Stanley Cup? I can see the Kings being a cup favorite again next year. The Canucks, I just don't see them being a contender again for a few years.

Finally the Kings have gotten a lead during regulation. Seriously all of their wins have been come from behind..

It's all but over. It's gonna be 4 straight at this rate. AV proving once again how easily he can be out coached. He's making his team look like the visitors out there. He has the last change and is allowing Sutter to dictate the play.

On the Kings 2012 cup run, Sutter out coached AV when he was with Vancouver. So its no surprise. 1 win away, but like they say, the closeout game is always the toughest! GKG!

As a Canucks fan I know all to well how AV got out coached, I watched it on a regular basis. Not sure why I thought this final would be any different, but it serves as a good reminder as to why I was happy when he got fired last year.

The last one is the hardest, but for NY to win for in a row, i just don't see it happening.

I don't see it happening either! As a Kings fan there is something special about this group. I don't think their necessarily the most talented team in the league, but they have that "it" factor when it comes to competing against other teams each and every night. I hope they can close it out Wednesday, but as we've seen throughout the playoffs, most teams don't go very quietly. I'll be anxious to see how the Rangers respond.

The Los Angeles Kings needs just one more win to lift the 2014 Stanley Cup. Disappointed with the performance of New York Rangers so far. This is going to be a whitewash. Disgraceful.

That last 3 minutes or so with the empty net was painful to watch. Where was the sense of urgency? They barely got the puck out of their own end. Disgusting effort! I almost feel sorry for the fans that paid over $2 grand a ticket just to see their team get shutout.

The Rangers are 0-11 all time in a series when trailing 3-0. They forced Game 7 just once in 1939. Swept 6 times.

Send in the fat lady for warm up, this ones soon to be over.

Not looking good for The Rangers. Down 2-0 in the series, and now 2-0 in game 3. Lundqvist needs to be lights out for the rest of this game. Don't think it's going to matter much. The way Quick has been playing, even 2 goals to tie the game at this point seem unrealistic.

Well the Kings won game one 3-2 in overtime. Took a bit for me to get into the game but it was a great comeback by the Kings. Gotta give Lundqvist credit for stopping 20 shots in the third period alone. Shame the Rangers couldn't get the win for him.

So painful to watch the Rangers sit back and get shelled in the third. But thats AV hockey, was so frustrating to watch in Vancouver when he would have the team sit back like that. neither team could bury one on the PP. The team that can find their PP scoring could easily win the series.

*x – if necessary

Regular season stats are relatively close. I think this series is going to come down to special teams. The NY PP has been excellent in the post season. Gonna be interesting to see if LA's PK is up to the task.

Looks like the twitter war is already heating up, LOL! I should add that I think twitter is one of the stupidest things to come out in the past few years.
