2012 Stanley Cup Review - (2) St. Louis Blues vs. (8) Los Angeles Kings

Series Summary

I didn't expect to be writing about this series so early. The Kings just demolished the Blues, but I guess it helps when you take out their top defenseman and get away for it. Oh, also, Elliott went back to being the sieve he was last year. Ok, the first game was tight, after that it was all Kings. About the only thing St. Louis did right was stand up for Pietrangelo and fight Dwight King in Game 2. Not taking away from Quick, he had a good series. Los Angeles now moves on to face Phoenix while St. Louis can...uh...wait for Halak to heal?

Three Thoughts On The Series
  • Seriously, who thought this would be a sweep?
  • St. Louis' problem was that they could not get the puck up on Quick. All their shots seemed low.
  • St. Louis' REAL problem: Saying Halak would not play in this series.

Back to Twitter, this time it's a Kings player. Take it away Dustin:



Play Of The Series

While the fight against Langenbrunner (really?) is a bonus, the two goals in this clip just put emphasis on how bad Elliott was in this series.
