Kings Extend Road Streak, Devils Can’t Beat Quick

Via Kukla's Korner  |  June 03, 2012
from Tim Wharnsby of CBC, For the fourth straight series, the Kings have marched into the opposition’s building and flew home with a 2-0 series lead. This time, though, they accomplished the feat against a Devils team that led all other clubs in the playoffs with a 6-2 home record. Sorry, make that 6-4 now with Game 3 set for the Staples Center on Monday. “Tonight was heavy...

Dee Karl: The Quick & The Dread

Via HockeyBuzz  |  June 04, 2012
Do you know how long I had to think before I even came up with a headline as dumb as that one? Days. There are only two NHL players whose names begins with a “Q” and if Jonathan Quick, the Milford CT native wins the Stanley Cup, he will be the first PLAYER whose name begins with “Q” to be etched on the silver ring. Joel Quenneville is on there as a Coach...

Wow, what a game last night! If you missed it, it was another close, low-scoring match between the Devils and Kings. L.A. continued their road dominance, winning a record 10th straight time on the road in these playoffs. The Kings did it in style too, with Jeff Carter potting the winning in the first OT for a 2-1 victory. Kings' goalie, Jonathan Quick, continues to be dominant...

Quick getaway leaves LA Kings fresh for Game 3

Via AP on Fox  |  June 03, 2012
Darryl Sutter rushed the Los Angeles Kings out of their locker room in Newark on Saturday night as if they were fleeing the scene of a crime. The Kings coach was just in a hurry to get home, and that's what his club did: On the plane by midnight, wheels up by 1 a.m. Eastern time, and in their beds back on the West Coast shortly after 4 a.m. Pacific. ''Hey, every minute...

Devils lacking offense in losses

Via AP on Fox  |  June 03, 2012
The New Jersey Devils are suddenly hoping that the Los Angeles Kings' road magic is contagious. After rolling through Philadelphia and the New York Rangers in the previous two rounds by winning eight of 10 to reach the Stanley Cup finals, the Devils are quickly understanding what it is like to be ambushed by the Los Angeles Kings, who have won 10 straight away from home. For...

This Week in Hockey is a weekly column in which assistant blogger Michael Spinner (@MichaelSpinner) shares and discusses the major storylines in the National Hockey League from the past week.

Will Tampa Bay target Jonathan Bernier?

Via Fox - The Hockey Guy  |  June 03, 2012
While Jonathan Quick stars in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Los Angeles Kings, Jonathan Bernier cools his heels as his seldom-seen back-up.Once upon a time Bernier was slated to become LA’s goaltender of the future. But Quick had other ideas. When he matured into one of the NHL’s elite netminders this season, Bernier was limited to 16 appearances.Once the postseason ends,...

NHL Stanley Cup Observations -- Game Two

Via Rotowire  |  June 02, 2012
Just a few things that caught my eye ... Can you hear footsteps? The Devils sure can. They'd best use that ability to bail to start saving their sinking ship. This matchup may not be stellar, but the goaltending sure is. Both Martin Brodeur and Jonathan Quick are athletic and reactive, and their hybrid stylings are bringing back the art of twine-tending. It'...

Game 1 went to overtime and the game winner was scored by a  center just trying to keep his team in the game. Anze Kopitar found himself with the puck after a pass from Justin Williams and nothing but clear ice and New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur.
