they say the 4th win is always the toughest one to get. hope the Kings can actually come out and play decent hockey instead of what they did Sunday night. Quick is the only reason they won that game. in any case, see ya at Staples Center Wednesday night!

[cougar fists]

Sorry boys, but I keep watchin this over and over and can't stop laughin my a*s off, I can't NOT share it with you guys!

Brown cranks Sedin, door knock. Vancouver Canucks...

Having a 3-0 lead is great, but I am not going to get excited until they are shaking hands after the 4th win. I am a Kings fan, anything can happen, I mean anything.

Quick has been great, but now it's big game time. It's the game to eliminate. This is where Quick will prove what he is all about. He has 4 tries to advance the team... Hopefully Quick from Sunday shows up and not Quick from the last 2 games of the season (division on the line), the last 2 games of 2 seasons ago (home ice for the playoffs), last years playoffs (4-0 lead or was it 5-0? and blown), and the year before that playoffs (up 2-1 in the series and had a lead in game 4, blown).

Quick can take a step to becoming a great goalie with a series win. Hopefully that comes tomorrow.

It isn't over and the Kings are going to have to play their best hockey to take the series.

They look like they know this too, and what they gotta do. Brown looks hungry and I have a feeling Penner will up his game especially in the second round. Hopefully Carter too and Quick looks great, game 4 will be great.

Well, at least we learned that nothing, absolutely nothing, will give Henrik Sedin a concussion. I said Canucks in 7 at the beginning of this series but no, this group of sissies almost certainly cannot pull a 1942 Leafs, 1975 Islanders, or 2010 Flyers, I hope I'm wrong, though. Only thing that bothers me is the flack the Sedins get, yeah they're not tough at all, but they're durable as all hell, and mentally tough. Now, if they ever stopped diving...

Again, this series isn't the Kings winning, this series is the Canucks losing, if they weren't choking L.A. would be dead in the water.

Richardson will be in for Lokti in game 4, that's an upgrade. Clifford is still not skating, so Richardson will play until Clifford comes back.

Worst post ever!

Up 3-0, I'd say it's the Kings WINNING... If LA wasn't choking the life out of them, you mean...

Mentally tough? You had the first part kind of right, mental... These two freaks are the perfect leadership for these crybaby, whiney Canucks pu$$ies!

Finish them!!

this part of your post makes no sense. i understand a team can choke in the playoffs and not perform the way they should, but it is still the other teams responsibility to take advantage of the team that is choking and beat them. the Kings have done just that. the Kings choked Sunday night, they played horse sh!t hockey, but Vancouver did not take advantage of it. Quick made timely saves, and gave his struggling team a chance at winning which they eventually did. timely scoring like the Kings had in games 1 & 2 have the Kings where they are now. Sunday they were outplayed by the Canucks, but Quick saved their asses. the Kings are winning the series.

So who gets the start for Vancouver in game 4?

Eddie Lack has been called up, he's starting.

The goaltending in games 1 and 3 have not been the reason for the Canucks losing. Luongo gave up one questionable goal in game 3 but otherwise played great. Canucks played great in game 3 but shooting from the blueline with nobody in front to screen Quick will make Quick look like a brick wall in the stats.

Not watching game 4 or any other game in this series if they can Win. The lack of action against Brown and Bieksa's interview saying we have to get him back legally pissed me off. Tired of "have to hold back because we want the 2 points or can't take a penalty" - bull****...after what happened to the Sedins, Keith and Brown should have been given broken faces...sipping through straws for a few weeks. Brown has a face that begs a punch and would look better KOd.

Tired of supporting this enforcerless team...first time in 30 years I think I might seriously not follow them any more.

for once goaltending isnt the issue with the Nucks.

I hate Luongo with a passion...I mean a passion...I hate that greasy haired ass clown...but why they pulled him is beyond me...and I am a huge Schneider backer!

the Nucks are losing because they just arent that good.

and though you hate seeing your Sedin's get smacked around, the Brown hit was 100% clean, and what Keith did on the other symbiote Sedin was 100% justified in defending himself from a previous cheap shot.

I hate Vancouver because your players are such douchebags...and they play like it. but the Kings sre out playing them period....nothing else.

I was surprised they put Schneider in for game 3, Luongo wasn't playing bad in the first 2 games, his D left him out to dry.

Scneider played alright too, just wondering if Luongo will be shaken from getting benched, if they do decide to go with him in game 4.

they havent made a decision yet as to who is starting...but just like last year with the Hawks, the Nucks really do pull Luongo way too much for a guy they signed for like 10 more freaken years.

it really is amazing. the best thing they can do is trade Schneider as he would bring a ransom in return and would relax all the play Schneider **** Luongo has to deal with... either play Luongo from start to end, or trade him or Schneider because it just doesnt seem logical anymore

[FurnaceFace]

excited for tomorrow. game 4. i thought canucks did play the best they have so far game 3, as compared to games one and two. i expect game four to be brutal. the kings have the nucks number so far with dustin brown leading the way. hopefully if it all ends tomorrow the rivalry continues into next season. alot of bad blood stirring. would like to see the series go a few more games. even if the kings were meant to take it. but they're not
