What a great win. Not the best played game but the Kings got the win and stole home ice advantage. First ever Kings/Ducks playoff game goes to the Kings. What the heck was Hayward thinking saying Gaborik had been quiet. Had an assist on Martinez's goal then got the tying goal. Plus to put the dagger in he got the game winner in OT.

Hayward has no business near a rink any longer, let alone commentating in any capacity.

Hayward is a dumb fuck. Not much more Gabby (or anyone) can do in a game then that

Man so many hockey experts did not like the Gaborik trade. Shows how much they knew.

yeah, Scott Turdside was talking shit about it, and then picked the Sharks to win too.

He picked the Ducks to win this series too because of home ice, lol.

5 straight wins

All I can say is, wow. That was fucking gutty. Imagine if the Kings freshen up a bit, Ducks will be in for a fight. Proud of this team.

Quick can make some bad plays at times but I really just don't see Hiller/Anderson/Gibbons being able to out do Quick this series.

 

[Kings4OT]

Don't start stroking each other yet, its only 1 game and LA has not shown yet this season they can out play the Ducks. Luckily its the Ducks and they should choke

Exactly, not the Kings best game but it could be from the emotional high of the historic 7 game series. Now hopefully the next game Kings will make the necessary adjustments and play like the more dominant team.

"#NHLDucks Cogliano praised the effort despite the OT loss. "I think that's our best game against them in two years." #BattleforSoCal 8:35 PM - 3 May 2014"
