Kings shoot & rebound & shoot & rebound & shoot & rebound and it's in! Lundqvist got NO help from his defense on that drive!

oh and pouliot just smashed into quick, he ws out of the paint but he really smashed quicks head with his elbow, knocked his helmet off! Pouliot really wasn't looking and it didn't seem intentional but you have to know where you are - goalie interference.

OVERTIME! FREE HOCKEY!









ONE OF THE FEW GAMES TO HAVE 3 OVERTIMES IN THE FINAL SERIES (i think like 5 or 6)
all 3 LA games have gone to OT
here we go!
lundqvist is killin' it so far!
the kings look like crap so far - they can't even make a pass
oh no - voynov gets called for hooking - look out rangers have a powerplay


Mcdonagh shoots & hits the posts - bounces back out
kings kill the penalty
lots of close calls - rangers ping 
one off the post too OT shots kings lead 13 - 7 with 2 minutes left
rangers on a breakaway! but quick denied it! crazy!!!!

2ND OVERTIME! EXTRA FREE HOCKEY!
3 TIMES IN STANLEY CUP HISTORY THECUP HAS BEEN CLAIMED IN DOUBLE OT

clifford gets a penalty for boarding and rangers have a powerplay in OT
lots of close calls but kings kill the penalty

KINGS WIN! shout out to lundqvist - his team let him down

Alec Martinez (5) Wrist shot - ASST: Tyler Toffoli (7), Kyle Clifford (6)



the MVP award goes to justin Williams
