Is it possible the Kings may get shell shocked in the Cup from playing such poor comp

[Sport_Fish]

Not even close.

Spurs have already won championships with the similar trio of players and made finals. Always a threat to go deep.


Kings are like 2001 76ers or something like that.

Well, I was making a reference simply to this season's playoffs....and how each of these teams have just run over the competition with 'ease' in their respective leagues.

I'm not sure exactly who you're saying is poor competition (all 3 opponents, or just coyotes), but what a stupid God damn thread regardless of what you mean.

"Poor competition" is a team you likely roll through quickly without much trouble, have time off afterwards, etc...the Kings have done this vs The Canucks (who are def not poor competition) and then came back the next series and did the same thing, and are repeating it for a 3rd time.

My point is...the Kings didn't have trouble vs VAN or STL (especially STL), so they may as well have been poor competition. And they came back the next round on fire each time, so why won't they in the finals?

I'm a lifelong die-hard Kings fan and I honestly can't believe what is going on right now, but what I'm saying in this post isn't bias at all. It's just a simple fact that's right in front of everyone's eyes. The Kings are legit, and they aren't gonna go into the finals and get beat easily, if they get beat at all.

umm hey tough guy....because the Rangers or Devils will be the best competition the Kings have faced so far in the play offs.

kings are god but east is good too

Scariest thing for the Kings is a long lay off. The Kings are red hot and in hockey a long layoff can definitely mess with your rhythm. On top of having a long layoff they will be starting the Finals with a big timezone difference. Could be the recipe for a slow start for them in the first two games.

i think devils will beat them in the stanley cup

Any stat gurus know the last team went 12-0 or 12-1 to get to the finals?

[a4u2fear]

08 pens went 12-2. 1983 oilers were last team to only lose 1 game before final - they only had to win 3 games in first round in that format

[lakerboy]

K13 how much did you lose on the pens in round 1? be honest.

[hockey216]

stl van and phx are solid teams

[zoo youk]

long lay off is going to kill LA if they sweep today. they need to keep playing.

[ebelisle22]

rangers will win it all id bet almost anything on it

[Pauulzcappin]

Game is about to start

[a4u2fear]

rangers will win it all id bet almost anything on it

Last 42 years of hockey says so.

Just saw this thread. Kings are big and fast but the Rangers and Lundqvist will shut them down in six games.
