IMO, the Kings owe a huge vote of thanks to Bruce Boudreau, the Ducks' coach, who played goalie roulette in the second round. He had a proven vet in Hiller, but went with rookies in Andersson and Gibson as starters. Then, when he gave Hiller a start in game 7, they pulled him after giving up two goals in the first. While Andersson did play well down the stretch, when Hiller was shaky, the playoffs are different for a rookie.

Zuccarello and Marty look like squirt league kids out there among those Kings' giants.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
