The whole shootin' match: Kings vs Devils

[ZBBM]

Yes Jim.  This is for all the 47 million Angelenos who have been alive at any time during the last 44 years.

 

[pnjunction]

Well I always like it so much better when the team wins it at home.  Nothing like celebrating in front of a bunch of bonkers fans instead of a stoic away crowd.

 

[maplesyrup]

Sweet!

I guess the so-called Cinderella team had to win the Cup eventually.

 

[maplesyrup]

And with that, summer is officially here.  8)

 

[Tigger]

Nice! Congrats to LA and their fans, impressive run.

Los Angeles.

Probably the only NHL arena where the people in the audience are more famous than the players on the ice who just won the league championship.

Congrats Kings.

The Conn Smythe goes to Quick.

 

[Redleaf]

I wonder how the Flyers brass feel about shipping out Carter and Richards now? They decided they weren't the right two guys to get them to the next level.  ;D

 

[bustaheims]

The Conn Smythe goes to Quick.

Fitting. We could have back to back years with the Conn Smythe and Vezina go to the same guy.

Part of why this victory is so sweet for sure.

Next year in Jerusalem! Toronto!

why did Mitchell get it next and then Gagne? Shouldn't Quick have been next?

Seniority.

I'm happy for the Kings but the fans didn't boo Bettman lustily enough.

meh. Guy that won it for them shoulda had it first, after the captain.

I'm really happy they didn't. The whole booing Bettman thing is really just silly. No other commissioner gets booed when they're handing out the league championship trophy.

The veteran without a Cup almost always gets passed the Cup first.

Lupul on twitter. Haha!

But Paul Holmgren isn't even in the building.
