i know it, it's crazy. sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

I'd change your "than" to "and".

No doubt the Kings have had the benefit of some strange bounces. But they cashed them in.

Zuccarello has to beat Quick on his shot in the 1st. Nash has to fight through the hook and score on the open net in the 2nd. Pulling Lundquist and getting 0 shots on goal in 4+ minutes wasn't bad luck.

This series could easily be 2-1 Rangers so no disrespect to a very good team.

But New York had better find a way to score first tonight because if they don't I think you'll see the same kind of game you watched Monday where the Kings just try to suffocate them.
