They won games 1 and 2 in overtime. Game 3 was a shutout at home. Game 4, the would've-been sweep was an anxiety-ridden mess. Game 5 in NJ was also a loss as the Devils fought for their lives.
Game 6 was back in LA. In the 1st period, the Devils smashed Rob Scuderi's face into the glass, resulting in a 5-minute major penalty that the Kings scored three goals on. Before the night was over, they would score three more, giving up only one to the Eastern Conference Champs, on their way to their first-ever Stanley Cup Championship in 45 years.
That was June 11, 2012.
The 2013-14 LA Kings spent the first three rounds of the 2014 playoffs making history by coming from 0-3 to win Round 1, and then making more history by winning all three series in Game 7 on the road. Tonight, they shut out the New York Rangers 3-0 in Game 3 of the Finals, to take a 3-0 series lead.
They have now won 15 games this post-season. They need to win one more game to take back hockey's holy grail.
Stanley Cup Finals 2014, Game 4 is this Wednesday night.
This Wednesday is June 11.

PS: If needed, Game 5 in LA is on Friday the 13th. My superstitious self kinda feels that's when the 16th win will come. It would only be appropriate for such a superstitious sport (and superstitious Kings fans like me, who have tickets to Game 5 ;) #knockonwoodnowhammiesnojinxes #gokingsgo
