I am in an undisclosed location on the East Coast for something very important, so I had to go to sleep last night before the Kings game was over. Just before I turned off the lights and shut down my laptop, I saw the great Anze Kopitar score what would become the game winning goal, to lead the LA Kings to an historic comeback against the San Jose Chokes Sharks. (They are now just the fourth team in NHL history to come back from a 3-0 game deficit in the playoffs and advance to the next round).
Had I been at home, I would have reposted this vine to celebrate the occasion:
Now, I’m not saying that I called it on April 17, but … maybe I called it on April 17.
All good-natured ribbing aside, what an incredible series this was. I’m looking forward to the next round, because it’s Duck Season.

Wabbit season!
Would you like to shoot me now, or wait until you get home?
You keep out of this, he doesn’t have to shoot you now! lol.
Being from Boston (where have some experience watching our local teams win) I feel the need to reply thusly….BROOOOOOONS!
Quick correction:
I believe this is only the 4th time in ALL sports that use a 7-game series playoff structure (NHL, NBA, MLB combined, not just NHL) that a team was up 3-0 and lost the series (or down 0-3 and came back and won).
I watch (pointy) football, but–go Kings!
fourth time in the nhl. 42 leafs, 75 isles, 2010 flyers, and now 2014 kings. if you include the nba and mlb, that brings up the 2004 bosox.
Fourth time in the NHL, but has only happened 5 times in all of sports history.
Here’s hoping they don’t drop the first three against Anaheim.
Anže Kopitar and Goran Dragić – how to get the whole of Slovenia very much interested in American sports 😀
I didn’t know you were a fan of Sportsball… 😉
I usually have my morning coffee and catch up on tweets that were posted after I’ve gone to bed. When you’re on east coast time, there’s no tweets, Wheaton. What am I supposed to do now? Coffee without twitter?
I hope your East Coast thing is great and your sports hockey wins the pennant cup championship belt.
That’s pennant cup championship belt OF THE WORLD, thank you very much. 🙂
You know what, when the tabletop season 3 campaign hits 1 million, you should do the exact same thing again, only with you wearing a Tabletop t-shirt instead yelling ‘TABLETOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!’
I’d happily accept that as the next update video as well as a vine 🙂
I think this proves my earlier theory was correct – the Kings spotted the Sharks the first three games. Why? Just to make it hurt more?
BECAUSE IT DID HURT MORE!!!
As a Sharks fan, I say congrats to the Kings. They earned that advancement to the next round. Go Kings!
