Is it too early to turn this game off? Would I be a terrible fan? I don't even know what team I'm watching, this is the most frustratingly awful they've been in a three game stretch all season. They just can't do a god damn thing.

I kept watching even during that Game 5 in 08, and Talbot rewarded with the equalizer and we got that 3OT winner from Sykora! You gotta keep the faith man!

Are you serious? I feel like the Devils have completely dominated this series. I almost feel really bad for you, like I feel guilty celebrating because I don't feel like my team has really earned this...

Dude this has been the same for every team that has faced the Kings so far. Canucks are an elite team and got owned. Blues were a favorite for this post-season and they choked the hardest (much to my dismay, but at least I already liked the Kings enough that I could still jump on their bandwagon). Phoenix sucks and didn't even deserve to get as far as they did, but they also couldn't do s*** against the Kings.

There was never a reason to think the Devils could do any better.

But the Devils HAVE done better. In the first three rounds, the Kings were clearly the better team. In this series, the Devils have been the better team. They just aren't getting ANY bounces at all...

I have to disagree on that. They were missing their best player, Daniel Sedin, and Kesler was playing severely injured. Vancouver was also really overrated this year, much like the Rangers. They struggled down the stretch, winning a lot of one-goal games against bad teams, and were nowhere near as good as they were last season. They flat out said that they had zero drive in the playoffs and for much of the regular season.

I think the Devils outplayed the Kings for the first two games (first game was close to even though), but the Kings have played better this game and deserve to be winning.

Don't worry about it, you dominated all the way to the Cup, and next season you'll be irrelevant again.

Just like the Ducks.

I don't want to take anything away from the Kings and I already said my piece about how good the team was after game 2 in Vancouver.. but the Canucks were garbage this year and nobody considered the Blues a favourite. Still, not being taken to a sixth game for the entirety of the playoffs is always a huge accomplishment and if the Kings manage to do it they'd be the most impressive playoff team in my lifetime, not to mention that they came in as an 8-seed with absolutely no expectations from anyone.

Some Ducks fans were entertaining the idea of bringing him back and reuniting him with Getzlaf and Perry. If he plays like he has in this post-season and is willing to take a pay cut (to say $1.5 or $2 million), I'd probably go for it.

only question left is if the kings win the series in 4 or 5

they were clearly an improved team after the carter trade, but how the hell have they been so dominant in this era of parity in hockey? very surprising, to say the least.

I don't see him taking much of a paycut, especially after this performance. He's going to do exactly what he did with the Ducks, parlay a decent playoffs into a contract much bigger than he can consistently meet the expectations of.

Watched only the third and OT in game 1, only the OT in game 2, didn't watch game 3 (not even for a second), won't watch game 4.

Its just amazing how the Kings who couldn't score for their lives in the regular season are suddenly by such a ridiculous distance the best team in the league.

Dear lord its boring though. My care for these finals is even less than I anticipated. It just doesn't even matter anymore, because the finals have been a formality, and when the winner's basically a given, its the single most boring thing in sports.

At this point I'm just waiting for the offseason. Can't be worse than the gameplay. Nothing against the Kings, they've made an insane run that defies all logic, but its a run that's completely turned me off from the game.

The same can be said though for any sport in which there's a ridiculously dominant team plowing through everyone and none of my teams are left in the mix.

I would've at least "watched" most of the final if it were the Rangers.

I would've paid much less attention to the '08 Super Bowl if the Giants weren't involved with the psycho Patriots. I would've "watched" most if not all of it still, but I would've been doing it while multitasking until at least the 4th.
