If I get to see Kesler's performance from game 1, I'm going to kill myself.

[DocWest]

Hopefully no injuries this time. Go Kings!

[kingsholygrail]

Alright. Getting my front row seat in the thread.

[Bgav]

Kesler hatty, 3-2 Canucks

[predicate]

i hope the Canucks learned a few things from last game. They need put that physical style of play on the backburner for awhile and go back to what got them to the SCF last year which is speed and skill.

Canucks over kings 4-2

slap some goalie gear on him and let him summersault in the crease for 60 mins.

win!

[sewellda]

Hoping for a better game and result. 2-0 Van?

[Hackett]

I have a feeling that Quick is going to steal a game before this series is done. He didnt need to do much in game 1, but I feel game 2 will be a different story.

The canucks obviously dont want to go down 2-0 before heading to la-la land, so their urgency level will probably be much higher than the kings, who will happily accept a split going back home.

[El Duderino]

Here's hoping they reunite the AMEX line, put Lapierre on the top line, and send Raymond down to the 3rd line.

[drugold]

may the best team win

[Racer]

5-2 Kings.

Richards X4
Doughty X1

Sedin X1
Salo X1

[Kingsfan1]

Let's Go Kings !

Kings win 4-3

[Lawzy]

I rather enjoyed reading the GDT while watching the game Wednesday but I guess I'll have to settle for watching the game from Rogers Arena this time around.

[Oh Snap]

Lets go Kings!

Only prediction i'm going to make is Kesler will complete a triple lutz at center ice while wearing a blind fold.

[burkes]

so excited for this one, minus the 3am start. go canucks go!

3-2 nucks

[NugentHopkinsfan]

No whining no diving no undisciplined play. Smart responsible hockey will give us our best chance to win.

I expect a motivated and solid Canucks team for game 2.

[NastiMarvasti]

I know I'm getting ahead of myself but how do you guys think this series will turn out if the Kings win this one too? Could it actually be a short series in the Kings favor? Or would the Canucks win 4 of 5?

I see the canucks taking one of two in LA so that would put it at 3-1 coming back and I doubt we'd recover.

But you never know with hockey, anything can happen.

[MISC]

3-2 Kings.

Canucks identity crisis continues.

[KingKopitar11]

Make the best Anze win

Canucks would go into desperation mode then anything could happen. Boston was down 2 vs Mtl. last year and we all know how that turned out.

[JureEe]

I predict heading to OT with 2:2...

[BergyMeister]

Go Kings!!

[Alisa]

Nice use of Cash in the GDT.

Gonna be a hard fought game. Canucks will come out hard and we just have to maintain drive and focus. We can, and will, take this one.

Go Kings!
