Tim Campbell: Jets learn what quickness is, schooled 4-1 by Kings

“In this one, the Jets didn’t have so much trouble keeping up as they did making plays with the same quickness and crispness that the Kings did. And do. When you have the passes, chips, checks and blocks down to an instant and automated execution as the Kings do — this is how you win the Cup — you are hard to beat.”

Terrel H: Instant Recap: Royal Beat Down as Kings stomp Jets

“Making his first start of the year was new netminder Michael Hutchinson. This time last year he was riding the bus at the “AA” level in the ECHL. It was not the start he imagined as he lasted less than 23 minutes before being pulled in favour of Ondrej Pavelec. He made just 10 stops on 13 shots. Meanwhile LA backup netminder Martin Jones made 29 stops allowing just the one goal.”
