One day I will have a charger again... One day.

FOR GOD SAKES PLAY WITH THE LEAD. Score the first goal. Crush their hopes and take a 3-0 series lead

Time to realize what's at stake from the get go and come to play. Kings love to get off of the mat and overcome when everyone doubts them, but they also love to play around when they should stomp out a team. They won Games 1&2 in Anaheim and then dropped the next 3, and then they went up 3-1 against Chicago and let that go to a Game 7. Those are quality opponents of course, but this team loves to make things interesting. This would be great to see them avoid any drama for once.

Kopitar is 9 games overdue for a goal, so I feel like if he can get one, he might get a few. He isn't going head to head with Toews, Getzlaf, Thornton, or Couture anymore, so he should be able to really take over. I know he has factored in on a lot of assists (Including Brown's OT winner) and is making plays, but as a Conn Smythe candidate, I would like to see him take over a game here in New York.

*I'm also glad Carter was okay in Game 2 because that knee looked like it hyper-extended to me. He played 27 minutes after that, so I hope there are no lingering effects. He has been a dominant player on this Playoff run.

Let's go Kings!

Big game tonight. Win this one and this fragile Rangers team will fold like a cheap tent. Don't know what they'll find to cry about tonight but I hope it's something. I'm sure they won't have a thing to complain about should they win.

Eye on the prize, hoping the Kings play Kings hockey and let the rest take care of itself.

Watching the pre-game show and Milbury just won't get over the no goalie interference call on LA's 3rd goal by King in Game 2. I can't believe these people are blaming the Rangers loss on that single goal.

Yeah. That child assaulting hack Milbury has been sickening as always.

He needs to seriously stay off the sauce.

I see Mitchell, Voynov and Muzzin all in, so maybe they dressed 7 D? I haven't seen Regher in yet though

If Regehr is in the lineup they are dressing 7 defensemen because the normal 3 pairs is what has started the game. He may have just skated in the warmups like he has done for both games at Staples.
