08:27 AM ET 05.07 | If the playoffs ended today, Jonathan Quick is very likely your Conn Smythe Trophy winner. [Quick] has meant more to his team than any goalie has meant to their team in the 2011-12 season. After another effective start by Los Angeles -- they outscored St. Louis 8-2 in first periods in the four-game sweep -- Quick was at his absolute best while keeping the Blues scoreless during a second period in which they were outshot 13-2. "He's the same as Hasek, same as Belfour," Ken Hitchcock said. "He never quits on the puck. It's a very unique skill. It's not common. He never stops looking for a puck." ... [Quick] remains the backbone of the suffocating defense the Kings have developed as their calling card.

IF LA wins, Dustin Browns' having a great playoff. It's been an amazing team effort.

Agreed. Quick has been outstanding, but LA is skated St Louis into the ground in that series. he had lots of help.

It's hard to beat the Kings right now when a team only gets around 20 shots on Quick and almost zero second chances.

Maybe the key play of the game -- I missed the save live - but the overhead shot really showed it

the empty buildings or the Bettman stroke?
I'm guessing it's a cause and effect thingy

I was referring to the Bettman stroke. Perfect time for the Spiny Administration to take over.
