commentary...

LOS ANGELES KINGS WIN 4-3,OVER PHOENIX COYOTES,IN OVERTIME!!!!! reach Stanley Cup Finals,for first time,since 1993,when Wayne Gretzky,and company,lost in five games,to the Montreal Canadiens... two side notes:Montreal won four straight,but game two,to four,of that series,were lost to Canadiens,all in overtime... game two is memorable,because late in game,Montreal,down 2-1,third period,when they asked referees to check Marty McSorley's stick for being illegal... if they were wrong,that would be a penalty,on Montreal-basic game over... unfortunately,for the Kings,and luckily for the Canadiens,McSorley's stick was deemed illegal,and the Canadiens scored on that power play,and won the first of three straight overtime games to break open tight series... second side note:i lived in Orange County,California,at the time...
