Blues dominated the entire game, if they choke it away the Kings will take the series even though the Blues are the better team. Absolutely hate when teams sit on a small lead the final few minutes.

The Blues dominated the first period and the first part of the second period. As the second period progressed, the Kings showed their mettle. Quick was stellar in goal throughout regulation. In the 3rd period, the Blues (who were swept by the Kings in the regular season) sat on their asses, and the Kings handed it to them, scoring the tying goal with only seconds left in the game. In the OT period it was more of the same, with desperate defending by the Blues and not all of it legal. The 4 minute double minor looked like it would surely guarantee a Kings victory, and LA would continue their dominance of St. Louis.

Then...

this shite (1:58 mark of video) happened.

Nice win for St. Louis, and on balance they deserved it, but you can't convince me they are a better hockey team than LA based on one performance. Let's see how they look in Game #2.
Go Kings!
