commentary...

how does a hockey team go from a 2-1 lead,after two periods,to a 6-2 loss,in the Western Conference Finals??? they stop playing NHL hockey,and skate around the rink,like a pee wee hockey team,and goaltender Corey Crawford gives up four of the five goals(one being an empty net goal),in the dreadful third period... the Kings lead NHL,with 22 goals,in the third period,in the Stanley Cup playoffs,and they tied a franchise record,with five goals,in the third period... one of the other times was April 10,1982,when "The Miracle on Manchester" happened when the Kings beat the Edmonton Oilers,6-5,when the Kings were down 5-0,after two periods(one of only two times,in NHL history,that a team overcame a 5-0 deficit,after two periods)... up to last night,the Kings had never won a playoff game in Chicago,losing all seven previous playoff games(losing all three playoff games,in 1974,and last year,and then losing the Western Conference Finals' opener,this year)... the Blackhawks better forget this debacle,and play hockey,in this series,against the Kings,or the Kings are going to beat the Blackhawks,and unlike last year,the Blackhawks are beatable,and the Kings know it... unfortunately,some pundits still believe that Chicago is going to repeat as Stanley Cup champions,and that is very,very possible,but folks there are three other teams who are in the Stanley Cup playoffs,who given the right bounce of the puck,great team defense,and overall play,who can win the Stanley Cup... so head coach Joel Quenneville,you better knock that stupid,arrogant smirk off your team's collective faces,and play NHL hockey,or you will get beat like that every game,because the Kings remember winning the Stanley Cup,in 2012,and they want it back,period...
