Los Angles knows how to keep things interesting, even on ice.
The Kings, who already completed one of the most epic comebacks in professional sports history by winning four in a row to defeat the Sharks after being down 0-3 in the first round of the playoffs, made a dramatic come from behind finish Sunday night in Chicago to win the Western Conference title.
First, the goal that got the rally started — down 3-4 with just over 7 minutes to play, Kings forward Marian Gaborik scored off a rebound via backhand to tie the game.
Then, the heart clincher. The nail in the coffin. The bullet in the back.
Kings defenseman Alec Martinez throws a prayer that just happens to skip by Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford for the overtime win and the Western Conference championship.
Los Angeles is now 7-0 in elimination games and now have three Game 7 wins on the road this postseason. They will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 Wednesday night.
