Game 5 could have easily won by Phoenix. Let's just forget about the aggression, I think a neutral would agree that both teams fought hard and sometimes during the heat of the moment, certain hits or even post match comments could become overboard. Hopefully, this best season for both LA and Phoenix in a longwhile is just the first of many.
Kings now get a few extra days to recover, the earliest NJ or NYR could finish their series would be 25 May, giving Kings a min of 3 extra days of rest.
NJ got 3-0 in the first 10min (and first few shots) of Game 5, what happened to the Swedish King? NYR got back to 2-3 and they have the 3rd period to keep their home ice advantage. I hope NJ would win, Smith just proved how a good nettender could steal playoff games for his team.
