    Vol. 4, No. 9 May, 2012 SPORTS X-TREME Lafayette Elementary School Washington DC 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Update by Josh Taubman, 5JL The Stanley Cup Playoffs are the most exciting, intense hockey play of the year. After a long road only four teams remain. #3 Phoenix Coyotes vs. #8 Los Angeles Kings The Undethronables: The LA Kings had a wild end to the regular season and found themselves heading into the playoffs as an eight seed. Facing the top-seeded Vancouver Canucks in the first round they cruised, finishing them off in five games. The next round, the Kings squared off with the St. Louis Blues, a two seed, and swept them, making the Kings the first ever eight seed to knock off both a one and two seed in the same playoffs. For the Western Conference finals, they will play the Phoenix Coyotes and LA can continue to roll right to the Dustin Brown Stanley Cup for two reasons. One is the goalie, Jonathan Quick. He isn’t the most exciting name, but he never quits and is always willing to sacrifice, which is a big reason why he’s 8-1 in the post-season. He has been lights out with a .949 save percentage and a goal against average of 1.55. A second reason is the work of Dustin Brown. He is the captain of this team, and rightfully so, because he has been playing with royalty. He leads the team in goals and assists and was the spark to this charge the Kings are having.
