Game 6. The Kings have been crowned.
Six goals were scored by LA, four on power plays, one on an empty net. The Kings deserve the cup, even though the score was determined by the refs (at least three of the LA goals, all in the first period).
Congrats to the Kings. They were the best team in the playoffs with a nearly flawless road record (lost one game to the Devils, took 10 other contests on the road). Their 16 - 4 record in the second, the toughest, season has not been equalled in decades.
The Devils played one helluva season and have nothing to be ashamed of. They are Eastern Conference champions. Their playoff performance was the best against the most dominant Western Conference team in decades. They played the Kings tough, right up until the end.
New Jersey's playoff performances that astounded the experts. This was a team that just one year ago FAILED TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. As turnarounds go, this one was huge. It was a great run.
It's time for summer. That's what hockey fans know. It ain't summer until somebody dances with the Cup.
Newark, LA and the other 28 teams can rest now, for three months. Exhibition hockey starts in only three months. There are summer hockey camps to run, and the Cup will visit places all over the world. And then the boys get back on the ice in September.
Hockey Rules.
