Great GTD Nyssa42,you & Jammer06 spoil us.

Time for some Kings playoffs.

[VegasHockey]

Gotta repeat the last 2 times these teams met.

[jammer06]

Thanks Nyssa!

If you aren't excited for tonight you're doing it wrong. Hoping to see Kings score first.... Or if knights do at least not on the first damn shot.

[Krussadams]

And the much appreciation continues into the postseason!!! Thank you for these GDTs, Nyssa and jammer. I really do appreciate them. I'm excited for this series.

Is it 7:00 yet????

[Sevenhole]

time to get this show going.....going to leave work early today but realized that wouldn't necessarily mean the game would start earlier.

[PuckMaster]

Thanks for putting these together! Always look forward to game day and this thread!
Go Kings GO!

[Russ]

Plz, Plz, Plz let Muzzin come back tonight!!!

[srm1105]

Thanks Nyssa

I see a lot of experts picking the Kings in this series...which scares the crap out of me. Gotta play 60 minutes and lay people out.

GKG!!!

[What party?]

My depraved love of chaos is apparent so I am hoping for a 'what the hell is going on here' series. The Kings are a wild card team for a reason although I particularly don't love the bipolar disorder label, it rings true, so tonight let's hope our boys have taken their meds and come out focused. If they start the game with a nice welcome-to-the-playoffs-hit on Karlsson, that would be a plus. Hi, Bill. [i'm watching you gesture] =)

Get lit, stay lit for the squad!
