do these kings remind people of the late 90's early 00's devils??

1 goal lead shut it down
neutral zone trap
dump-chase-hit-clutch-grab-hold-hack
shooting the puck is optional (and not allowed in the 3rd period with a lead!)

win in playoffs (and cups) but damn boring to watch and those devils led to rules changes and prob drove casual fans from the gam....not sure kings live up to those levels but they consistently put up 15-20 shots per game, esp on the road, and aren't really fun to watch.

I absolutely agree with what you are saying about the Kings. They also need to be careful against a team like Chicago that have a solid D and great forwards......that being said, this series goes 6 or 7 games. The Hawks had a slow start in the first period and then really dominated the last 2 periods.

Kings looked tired.

Yep, ditto.......they really wore down as the game went on.
