What an exciting Game 5 between the Los Angeles Kings and Phoenix Coyotes. Both teams came to play and quickly put up 3 goals each before the 3rd period. Jonathan Quick was amazing as usual and the Kings pulled out the overtime victory with a goal scored by Dustin Penner. The Kings won the game 4-3 and won the series 4-1. The Kings went a perfect 8-0 on the road during the playoffs. Pretty good for an 8 seed.
The Los Angeles Kings are going back to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1993. They will face either the New York Rangers or New Jersey Devils.
The Kings are looking to bring Los Angeles their first ever hockey championship.
