I watched Game 2 the other day and recorded Game 3; not really interested in any of the others...

[Mr Irreverent]

Jonathan Quick was pretty brutal in games 4 & 6.

[Telos]

Game 6 was on today, didn't have the heart to watch it all

[Sydor25]

I can't watch any of the games. Just like the finals in '93.

[two out of three*]

Fredrik Modin is AWFUL. No idea what anybody saw in this guy..

Without Modin we get swept in that series.

[Ziggy Stardust]

As terrible as Randy Jones was in that series, Sean O'Donnell was equally as bad with some of his mind numbingly dumb decisions. I admire and respect all he's done for the organization, but the game has passed him by.

[BerniernextRoy]

Just watching this series just reinforces that we were lucky to be in the playoffs and Quick sucked.

Lucky to be in the playoffs? If it wasn't for Quick playing like garbage when it mattered most, the Kings could have won games 4 and 6. Vancouver is lucky that Quick played like Kelly Hrudey in the playoffs. Luongo also came up huge in Game 6. The Kings could have just as easily won that series.

I thought RJ was actually better than O'Donnell in the playoffs.

OD was actually OK for most of the season, but down the stretch he was BRUTAL. I'm thinking he wore down a bit, and he was over used by TM. Sean was playing top 4 minutes, and at this point in his career he shouldn't be anything more than a bottom pairing guy, or a 7th guy on a good team.

Regardless, the Vancouver series made it painfully obvious that the Kings are weak on the back end. We really only had 4 NHL caliber defensemen on the roster (DD, JJ, RS, MG). That, along with Quick's goaltending, made it extremely difficult to hold on to leads.

This is why our defense is a bigger problem than our forwards. The Kings gave up 2.57 goals per game last year. 9th worst in the NHL.

[Herby]

OD and Quick should not have been playing, especially in the later parts of the series, obviously neither one had any gas left in the tank.

I appreciate what OD did in helping Doughty and Johnson become better d-man, but it was obviously time to move on.

As for Modin, I thought he was really solid, him and #94 were the two slowest guys on the ice, but atleast Modin was able to generate some chances.
