Kings on verge of final, Rangers can get to the final tonight!!

Corey vs Jonathan... LA and Chicago goalies eye eachother ahead of a huge game 5 on Wednesday...
 

Incredible first period blasts Hawks, Kings put them on the verge...

A fight was expected by the defending Stanley cup champions on Tuesday night but LA Kings had this in mind and wiped out the Chicago Blackhawks after a 3-0 first period then early in the second made it four! It looked to be a blowout with the way the teams played. However, Hawks scored two without reply to spark some hope for the club of a shock comeback. One being a scruffy goal, but hey, they all count! Late on, Chicago pulled Crawford but they conceded with just over a minute left for a 5-2 score-line and a win tomorrow in game five will put them straight to the 2014 Stanley cup final for the second time in three years! NOT to missed!!

And, to tonight. One of the biggest nights of the playoffs or even full NHL season. If New York Rangers win against Montreal Canadiens at 1:00am, they will go to the Stanely Cup final 2014! Enjoy!! On nhl gamecenter!

It's REALLY hotting up now: Final four continue there journey to the cup, Kings beat Hawks, Rangers face habs tonight

Ka pow...Slava Voynov about to fire LA Kings first goal in, Saturday night 24th May

The headline says it all, the NHL playoffs are on fire right now! The four teams left (NYR, MTL,CHI AND LAK) are playing to their strengths to reach the final. From the early season in October to the playoffs in April to now, its got better every single minute!

And last nights game between Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks proved just that. An early goal from Hawks captain Jonathan Towes was quickly tied up by Slava Voynov (pictured above). Only for Toews to score again a few minutes later and lead Hawks 2-1 after the first period.

Kings had better ideas in the second though, banging two in to lead 3-2 at the second intermission with goals in the second coming from Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli.

In the third, it was sealed as Drew Doughty made it three without reply to take the win in spite of Hawks pulling goalie Corey Crawford late on in the game. The extra attacker paid off with three seconds left, Patrick Sharp tipping in but it was simply not enough. Kings taking the series lead at 2-1! Highlights here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoE1PHLh4qw&list=PL1NbHSfosBuFcqXNo_9Zm_hu3Gp3SqaWY

Want more tonight. Be up at 1:00am and you've got it as that's the faceoff time for game four of New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens! View it and all the NHL games of the season as usual on NHL gamecenter at NHL.com! Enjoy folks! :-)

Wild tie series/ Kings look for first win by home team in series

New York Rangers can't afford a loss now. Playing under pressure is always a challenge but NY took this well and kept themselves in the playoffs. They beat Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1 in good fashion and game six is forced. 

Minnesota Wild did what Chicago Blackhawks did in round one. Came from 0-2 down in the series to tie it at 2-2! They won 4-2 last night to do so!

Also Anaheim Ducks broke LA kings great streak with a 3-2 win at Staples centre in Los Angeles. 

Possibly the best team of round two is Pittsburgh penguins so it would be no surprise if they beat NY Rangers tonight to go to round three. Midnight faceoff.

Most would of said a sweep looked likely for Chicago Blackhawks as they were strong in the series against Minnesota Wild but as always, the NHL is full of surprises! Last nights game three between these sides was 0-0 still after two periods. A low scoring game or even sudden death overtime you would think. Not! Four goals appeared in the third period all coming from the Wild for a 4-0 shutout win for the Wild and goalie Ilya Bryzgalov! 

 Bruins and Canadians continued there battle, or war with these rivals. Habs led 3-1 late on but Bs pulled Rask and made it a one goal game. Only for Habs to score an empty netter for a tie series and 4-2 win!
