> [@RickJay](#): > > A team that gets two shots - 2 - in the third period of a game they need to win has no right to complain about being unlucky. Two shots in a period is not bad luck, it’s incompetence. They’re overmatched. I think that you’ve confused this game with another one. In game 3, it was the Kings who had only 2 shots(the Rangers were outshot 20-3 and 12-7 in the third period of games 1 and 2 respectively) ---

I have to say I never thought it would get to 3-0. The defining series of this year is seriously looking like Hawks-Kings. ---

Oh, my thought all along was whoever wins Hawks-Kings will be the Stanley Cup Champion. I’m not _too_ surprised it’s 3-0 (I was thinking Kings in 5, but I thought it’d be 2-1 here), but I was really surprised at how competitive and close the first two games were. ---

As a Kings fan all I can say is periods to Linqvist, sometimes you just face a goalie who won’t let anything get by. ---

Holy crap a lap!! That cute, widdle puck just sitting like a cupcake right above the line… If Lundy moved his foot back, there would’ve been OT AGAIN!! Great game by both teams though. Lunqvist had his best one. ---

Henrik and the snowbank played out of their minds tonight. The rest of the Rangers, not as much. I’m not too sad, another day of hockey. Besides, I want the Kings to win on home ice. ---

Besides, I want the Kings to win on home ice. Great! Now I’m singing “Henrik and the Snow Dog”. 😃 Yes, the Rangers were better tonight, though they insist on slowing down in the third period. I still think we’ll see six games. ---

As a Sharks fan all I can say is, _ **Go Rangers!!!** _ 😃 The Kings look awesome these days and I fear it is only a matter of time before they prevail. They have the will to win that is sorely lacking in the Sharks. ---

WTF? The CBC just switched over to the NBC feed, in some weird 75/25 split screen mode. I see CBC was supposed to be carrying FIFA at this point, but I have never seen anything like this in my life. Oh, it’s not split screen now, but it’s NBC! On CBC! For the Stanley Cup! WTF? Seriously weird. ETA: Chug, chug. Back to CBC now. How weird is that? ---
