Game is exciting thus far. Kings applying some pressure but Kopitar take a lazy penalty and puts the Canucks on the power play.
L.A. takes one too. A little 4-on-4 before the dangerous L.A. unit gets a crack at it.
And we have a Frolov sighting. 1st of the series for him on a wrap around. Staples is rocking!
Kings with a bunch o' shots but have not converted on 2 power plays.
Lots of desperation by the Kings had the Canucks on their heels the entire 1st period. Shots are 16-5 L.A.
Early in the 2nd, Kopitar draws a penalty and hits the post all in the same play.
Kings still applying some pretty good pressure. With Luongo down and out, he makes a ridiculous save on Smyth.
Quick strike on the power play for the Canucks.
Steve Bernier should get credit for the goal. Game is tied at 1 just about halfway through regulation.
Kings go on the power play and it looks like it did at the beginning of the series.
Drew Doughty scores just as the penalty to the Canucks had expired. Staples goes crazy and the Kings lead 2-1.
Fast and furious action the last 5 minutes of the 2nd. Kings will take a 2-1 lead into the 3rd.
That lead does not last long.
Quick leaves the post a little early and Kevin Bieksa ties at 2.
Late in the third on a broken play, Daniel Sedin breaks a bunch of L.A. hearts and beats quick.
Add an empty net goal by Alex Burrows and Vancouver eliminates the Kings in 6 games.
So much for my sexy pick out west.
