Once again, the Kings fail to play an entire game. They either start great and end with a wimper, or start slowly and find a way to turn it on.

Going 9 for 16 on the PP is great, but getting outscored 5-10 at even strength does not win a series.

We'll see. I still have faith. They already won one in BC, hopefully they can do it again and hold serve at home. At least I'll get to go to a third playoff game at Staples!

I will be rooting for the Kings, Brett.

I still am rooting for them, I just didnt think the Canucks would lose last night.
I was really suprised the Sabs let the lead slip and lost in double OT. I thought I had that game nailed. The Caps was an easy call.

As for tonight I am banking on the Hawks. All western series have followed the same pattern and I am banking on the Hawks to make it 4 for 4 making their series 2-2.

As for the Sharks its going to be goaltending and if the Sharks 1st line decides to show up. I think the Avs showed a good game plan against the Sharks in game 4 and kept it close. Nabokov doesnt get shutouts in the playoffs so if Line 1 doesnt show up tonight I think they may not win. Your second and third lines cant be counted on to win/ steal more than a game or two and they have done that. Its now time for the people that get paid to do their damn job.

Pittsburg seems a no brainer given how badly they dominated the last game and the sexy pick is flyers as the Marty just isnt playing out of his mind and they need that against a confident flyers team.

So I will go Hawks, Pens, Flyers. Bad karma to call your own game so I wont give a guess on the 4th game.

Hope you are right, Mike.

Sounds like Campbell will be back tonight, I guess the Preds will target him hard if he is. Hawks are also scratching Ben Eager and Colin Fraser for Adam Burish and Bryan Bickell, with Bickell going on the number #1 line with Toews and Kane.

Lets hope this will help things. Can't wait for the game tonight.
