I feel as though I have been waiting years for this game, but in reality it’s only been a week… could have fooled me. Anyway the stage is set for the puck to drop at 7 pm CT. Happy Mother’s Day to all the hockey moms out there!

Since the Kings have knocked out the #1 seed, oh and the #2 seed it is only fitting that they go for the trifecta and go head to head with the #3 seed, and knock them out as well.

Here is what we have:

Killer Defense… Jonathan Quick & Drew Doughty

Down time (Bridget Samuels/Flickr)

Powerful Offense… Dustin Brown & Anze Kopitar

21 combined points (Bridget Samuels/Flickr)

SHORT HANDED GOALS! Do we need anything else???

This is what it’s all about, let’s do this thing Kings!

PARTICIPATE IN THE BEARD-A-THON if you can grow a beard, and if you can’t then make a beard on a stick!

I can and will be chirping Mike Smith on Twitter tonight, @kingsandi32, recap to follow the game!
