KINGS 2, Devils 1 (OT) – SCF Game 1 Real-Time Bullets

And we’re off…
- Yes, suddenly Lewis is 6’4″ and menacing. No, Mike, that was Dwight King.
- I wonder if we can go the whole game without hearing “regathers.”
- I would like to keep it to under 10 incidences of “knifes” as a verb.
- I guess Eddie Olczyk never really watched the Terry Murray Kings. I think he just said that Sutter taught the Kings to defend.
