Great Playoff Games in LA Kings history

[Statue4Deano]

2012 Playoffs - Round 1, Game 5 @ Vancouver. The game was a back and forth chess match from the opening minute to the final seconds of OT. The quintessential playoff war ended in what would become the trademark LA Kings style, turnover caused by a high pressure forecheck. This was the real start of the Kings Cup Runs and it was the end of the Sedin-era Canucks.

Don't remember if this was a playoff game, but it was against the Flames. Mike Krushelnyski's flip of the puck right over the outstretched glove of Mike Vernon. It was so sweet!

That was game 6 vs Calgary in 1990. Kings won 4-3 in Double OT.

The first "great" playoff game in Kings history was probably Game 6 against Boston in 1976. Butch Goring scored the OT goal about 18 min. in. In addition, the Kings had to score two late goals to tie it. It was excruciating listening to that on the radio.

Isn’t every win in the playoffs a great one? Just sayin’.

I was at the Forum in person to watch Butch Goring score the GWG in OT.

I would have been too but my brother couldn't get tix. The "TicketTron" machine broke while he was standing in line at Sears (or somewhere).

Too bad the highlights don't show Corrigan's two goals that tied it up.

The greatest game I have ever attended. In our season seats, section 9, for the 10 minute standing ovation when we took the ice. No one left after the OT goal. GKG!!

 

[Guinevere]

For me, it will have to be game 6 finally beating the Redwings! That was the last playoff game I went to. Staples was rocking and I literally had no voice for 2 days!

 

[kingnut]

Not the greatest but the most epic was watching jazz hands score the gwg. Had a feeling during g the rush up ice. Im.on the stanley bup dvd and the black and white season 10 episode 5 for that moment

I can't believe how many people prefer today's No Hit League to that.

After Stollie scored that goal, I knew in my heart and as sure as the sun coming up the next day, and after being a King’s fan for 41 years at that point, that we would finally be lifting that beautiful, shiny Cup. It was quite a feeling following that year’s team after that series. Truly the best King’s memories, team, etc and to this day.

Like, really, what team in any sport goes 10-0 in its first ten road playoff games? Quickie stood on his head. And just too many other amazing aspects of this run to mention here and now.

GKG! Beat the Oilers!!

Sweeping the Blues in 2012 was pretty epic on the way to the first cup.

We made them quit. They had no answers. Hitchcock even said it in the regular season
that if we got it together 'no one could beat that team.' Smart man. I know '14 was amazing
but, to me, '12 was divinity.

Only playoff game I've been to. And it was on my birthday. Epic day.
