The first two games was royal domination for the Kings, as the Coyotes nearly lost it (their cool) when near the end of Game 2 they took a ton of penalties, with Hanzal, Doan, and Morris taking penalties that could have been suspendable (with Hanzal being the only one missing a game) and Smith diving (then again what else is new). The Coyotes lost Game 3, but it was more promising as they were able to play the way they wanted and not let the Kings dominate. The Kings finally lost (for the second time in the playoffs) when they got shutout. Game 5 was a goal-for-goal affair between the two teams. In overtime, Michal Rozsival collided with Dustin Brown and had to be helped off the ice with a knee injury. On the ensuing faceoff, the Kings stormed into the Coyotes zone and ended the game when Dustin Penner buried a rebound right in front of the net. The Kings move on to the Final while the Coyotes head north...just kidding, they're getting there ownership sorted out.

Three Thoughts On The Series
- Got to hand it to the Kings, they just didn't let the Coyotes have nothing in the first two games.
- I get that he has a reputation for going down easy, but when Mike Smith nearly amputated his leg, it was a dumb penalty called against him (Brown that is, Smith deserved an ejection).
- I don't know if there was fines on their comments, but that was some blatant ref attacking by Doan, Yandle, and Smith after Game 5.
With all the confusion over what Kings team the LA Media should be caring about, the Kings (hockey) came out with a handy infographic.

That was one weird handshake line wasn't it?
