commentary...

the St. Louis Blues played rather shabbily in their series,against the Los Angeles Kings,scoring only six goals,in four games,losing all four games... their offense,and goaltending were just awful,and they stunk... from 109 points,in the regular season,to a putrid sweep,being totally out-played,by a team that really had a miserable regular season,in the Los Angeles Kings,but it only means that a team only needs a chance to be in the playoffs,to win... Los Angeles Kings are the third 8th seed to make the Conference Championship finals,since the NHL lockout,in 2005... the other two,are the Edmonton Oilers,in 2006,and the Montreal Canadiens,in 2010... Edmonton Oilers lost to the Carolina Hurricanes,in 2006,in the Stanley Cup Finals... the Kings have beaten the two top seeds in the Western Conference,in the Vancouver Canucks(number one seed),and the St, Louis Blues(number two seed),and if they face the Phoenix Coyotes(who lead,three games,to one,against Nashville),and beat them,they would have beaten the top three seeds,in the Western Conference...
