Kings advance to the second round, will play in a ‘battle of California’

The Los Angeles Kings defeated the St. Louis Blues 2-1 on Friday night and advanced to the second round of the playoffs, defeating St. Louis in six games. The Kings will either play the Anaheim Ducks, should they defeat Detroit on Sunday, or they'll play the Sharks if the Wings prevail. Either way, a "battle of California" is in the offing.

Afternoon Line

It’s astonishing how what was once a strength – Canada’s overall depth in goal – will now be its biggest question mark heading into the Olympics. You wonder, if the Chicago Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup and Corey Crawford has a good run, if his name doesn’t enter the conversation as well. Crawford and his partner Ray Emery had the best cumulative goals-against average in the league this year (1.98 to win the Jennings Trophy), but neither of them made it as a finalist in the Vezina trophy balloting.

-Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail.  More on Canada's Olympic goalie situation plus a few more topics.

Bobby Orr Suspended In Air

from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,

The moment was immortalized precisely 43 years ago today.

Flashback to May 10, 1970, Boston Garden: The Boston Bruins are leading the St. Louis Blues in the Stanley Cup final three games to nothing and looking for the sweep. The game is knotted at three and the teams are heading into overtime.

A mere 40 seconds into the extra frame, defenceman Bobby Orr works a give-and-go with forward Derek Sanderson and takes the puck to the net.

Orr beats Blues goaltender Glenn Hall just as he’s getting tripped by defenceman Noel Picard. Airborne and victorious, the greatest defenceman to play the game flings his arms to the heavens in celebration of his first Stanley Cup victory  — and the home-team Bruins’ first in 29 years.
