Hooray for Hockeywood,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Jeff Carter and Trevor Lewis scored two goals apiece,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], playoff MVP Jonathan Quick made 17 saves in his latest stellar performance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the Kings beat the New Jersey Devils 6-1 Monday night in Game 6 of the finals, becoming the first eighth-seeded playoff team to win the league title.
Captain Dustin Brown had a goal and two assists for Los Angeles, which ended its dominant two-month playoff run before a frenzied bunch of their heartiest fans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], incessantly waving towels and glowsticks. The crowd including several dozen Kings faithful who have been at rinkside since the team's berth as an expansion franchise in 1967,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], waiting for one glimpse of the Stanley Cup.
After taking a 3-0 series lead and then losing two potential clinching games last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Kings finished ferociously at Staples Center just when the sixth-seeded Devils appeared to have a chance for one of the biggest comebacks in finals history.
One penalty abruptly changed the tone of a series. Brown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Carter and Lewis scored during a five-minute power play in the first period after Steve Bernier was ejected for boarding Rob Scuderi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], leaving the veteran defenseman in a pool of blood. Quick took it from there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], finishing his star-making postseason by allowing just seven goals in six finals games.
"You never know. You get to the dance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you never know what's going to happen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Brown said. "We calmed down after losing two. It was the first time we had done that all playoffs, and we finally got off to a good start."
Martin Brodeur stopped 19 shots for the Eastern Conference champion Devils,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just the third team to force a Game 6 in the finals after falling into an 0-3 hole. Rookie Adam Henrique ended Quick's shutout bid late in the second period after the Kings had built a 4-0 lead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Lewis and Matt Greene added late goals for the Kings.
The Kings went 16-4 after barely making the playoffs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], eliminating the top three seeds in the Western Conference in overwhelming fashion before matching the second-fastest run to a title in NHL history. Although the Devils gave them a little trouble, the Kings took down every opponent in their path after an inconsistent regular season.
Los Angeles boasted a talented,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], balanced roster that peaked at the absolute perfect time under midseason coaching hire Darryl Sutter. Brown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just the second American-born captain to raise the Cup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], accomplished what even Wayne Gretzky couldn't do in eight years in Los Angeles.
Quick added one more dominant game to his run,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while Brown capped his own impressive playoff work by finishing with 20 points,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tied for the postseason scoring lead with linemate Anze Kopitar.
