]]> The NHL’s conference finals are underway.  Four teams remain.  In the Western Conference, it’s the eighth seeded Los Angeles Kings against the third seed Phoenix Coyotes.  Two power house hockey franchises in the West wouldn’t you say?  More on that series in a second.  The Eastern Conference final features the top seed New York Rangers against the sixth seed New Jersey Devils.  We’ll get to their series shortly.  Now let’s take a look and preview the Kings-Coyotes series.

The Kings lead their conference final series with the Coyotes 1-0 thanks in large part to Jonathan Quick, continuing to be a brick wall in net for them, but also thanks to their offense.  They had forty-seven shots in game one.  That is a lot of pressure to put on a goalie to stop them all.  Unfortunately for Coyotes goalie Mike Smith, he wasn’t able to stop them all, giving up three goals (Dwight King would add an empty netter late in the game).  The Kings have found their mojo on offense and that is bad news for the Coyotes.  As good as the Coyotes have played this postseason, the Kings have played better.  They are 9-1 this postseason, and they are not looking back.  Dustin Brown is leading the charge on offense for the Kings and not even a stellar goaltender like Smith will be able to help.  The Kings will win this series in six games.

From the very beginning, fantasy football seemed asinine to me: I am a Dallas Cowboy fan, that means I hate every other team and every player that doesn’t play for the Cowboys. There are surprisingly few exceptions to my rule against not liking any non-Cowboy players: I can only think of the occasional ‘all-century team’ player like Barry Sanders or Walter Payton, and a few former Cowboys like Emmitt as a Cardinal or Dorsett as a Bronco.
