The LA Kings have come to play in the NHL Playoffs. Most didn't give them much of a chance in the first round vs. Vancouver, and they shocked the Canucks 4-2 in the opener. The Kings then came back to win Game 2 by an identical score. There was never a question about their goaltending or defense, but this team has begun to find the net and are becoming a difficult out in any arena. They weren't given much of a chance vs. the Blues either, but shocked them in the opener 3-1. The Blues look like a team that peaked too early and were invincible at home, but have now lost five of their last seven here including two in the playoffs. The Kings aren't a surprise anymore - they are for real and have the Blues’ number, winning four of the last five meetings. Play on LA.
