Hey guys, good luck tonite. Over here in Hawkland we're cheering for you. Three years ago we were on a team on the rise, and were able to take the next steps going forward. Let's hope you can do the same starting tonight.

Game day finally! Bring on those Canuckers and let's start to get this done!
Thanks LBFF, Telos, Alpa, Kingsmanforlife, SLang and Themajor for the kind words. Was so excited I was up til 5, and have done nothing but read and watch hockey for at least 30-40 hours lol... I guess that's the result of that
So excited for tonight's game. I kinda like being the away team and having less pressure to win this one. (That way when we take them by surprise and walk away with game 1 it hurts them even more). I'm psyched to take this one and set the tone for the series.
Go Kings GOOOOOO!!! THIS is your year! Bring the cup to LA
(Start by getting those pesky lil Canucks out of the way first)
As long as the Kings play at their turtle pace (unlike their last two playoff appearances), play their game and keep it close, they will have a chance to pull off the big upset. Most of the LA-Van games in the regular season were decided by one goal..Kings have a legit chance here.
Mike Richards needs to remember who Mike Richards is. We haven't seen that Mike Richards yet this season. I remember watching that guy back in '07-'08 against the Washington Capitals..skating hard like a mad man, creating havoc, making plays, he was by far the best player on the ice.

'Twas the night before playoffs, and all through Vancouver
slept overconfident fans unaware their team would be losers.
The skates were all hung in the lockers with care,
awaiting the players that soon would be there.
Luongo was nestled, all snug in his bed
while nightmares of Mike Richards appeared in his head.
Carter rushing forward, King with him on the attack
As Lou braces for position, then falls on his back.
As that first of many, many pucks whistled by
Luongo rolled over, with tears in his eyes
When out of nowhere, his cellphone did ring
and he woke to the voice of his teammate, Henrik Sedin.
"Lou, I'm afraid... and feel a little bit sick,
I'm afraid I can't get one past top goalie Jonathan Quick..."
Luongo interrupted, and was a little bit stern,
"I can't help you there, I've my own concerns!"
When he got back in bed, and tried oh so hard to sleep,
He remembered Kopitar, and Williams, and started to weep.
And Doughty! And Mitchell! And Brown, and Stoll!
He shuddered at visions of goal after goal.
He knew it right then, that his team would fall,
and that once they'd bested Vancouver, the Kings would take all.
... Meanwhile across town, the Kings slept just fine,
each with only one vision, "The cup will be mine!"
Go Kings Go!
WOW.....just holy crap WOW. Needs to get added to game day thread for game 2.

That is not a good avatar. This year isn't even done yet.
I put it up after last year's playoffs... just don't come on here often enough to remember to change it. So technically "next year" is this year, so it really means maybe this year!
I want one of the cool ones you all came up with, but I don't think I quite deserve it yet. lol
Ahh playoff hockey is back, can't wait. Decided to go down to main street to watch the game instead of watching at home as my wife gets annoyed when I sit on the couch constantly hitting refresh on HF boards reading what "those internet hockey people say". Lets start out strong!
