Handshake Line: Grumble Grumble Congrats Grumble
Anyone know knows me knows how much I absolutely despise the Los Angeles Kings. So needless to say, losing to them or giving them any credit at all is slightly less favorable than getting a root canal.

Handshake Line: Yes this is a thumbtack on my palm
This series would have been better with the Kings wearing purple and gold and the Ducks wearing teal and eggplant. What could have been.

Handshake Line: A Few of my Favorite Kings
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens/ Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens/ Brown paper packages tied up with strings/ These are a few of my favorite Kings.

Handshake Line: Reluctant Respect
No matter what team you root for, you cannot deny that the first ever Playoff series between the Ducks and Kings was, at the very least, gripping.

Handshake Line: Kudos to the Kings
Fans on both sides will remember this series for a long time to come. The Kings showed up to play in Games Six and Seven, and that was the difference.

Handshake Line: Reinvented Rivalry
Thought the hatred between the Ducks and Kings reached its peak when both teams finally got really, really good at the same time? Think again!

Handshake Line: Living In Epochal Times
Sometimes it's of benefit to take a look to the past and realize the uniqueness of the modern time. While the Ducks came up short, they did so against the greatest team the Los Angeles Kings have ever had. No shame in losing to a franchise's best.
