Is there anything to stop the Kings from winning it all next season? Sure, the book on Quick will be thicker, but the team in front of him will mostly be the same.

Well, on paper, the team will be the same. But it all comes down to the consistency of the players.
Besides being a good team, teams that go all the way also need to be on a hot streak. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

^ Ya I get what you're saying. Kings haven't had significant injuries, players have been getting hot at the right time and they have a hot goalie. If they had some players injured maybe a different result.

plus the kings just have that swagger right now. everyones got the spirit, everything is going their way and they know they can win and are putting in 200%. it wouldnt surprise me if they weren't nearly as successful next year. they had a good season and won (maybe) a cup. maybe they sit back a little, the effort and chemistry drop, and the flow goes away.
hot teams dont stay hot forever. it wasnt long ago in january that it looked like boston was going to crush the rest of the league to another cup.
I predicted Kings in 5 before the series and I think I'm wrong. Devils haven't shown much this game, may only take 4 more periods by LA.
Maybe it's the bitterness, but I've been so uninterested in this cup final. Before the Canucks made it last year to the final, I enjoyed the Pens-Wings series', hawks, but this year is just bad. Bad ice, boring hockey (IMO), just not interested. Maybe if the Devils made it interesting, but even then meh.
Game one in the US drew a five time low in the ratings.
In Vancouver, maybe its the bad weather so people are watching a lot more, but here in Edmonton the bars aren't nearly as full as last year on game nights. Weather had been great, but it always is this time of year.

The Kings have two lines that could be #1 on almost any team in the NHL. Talk about the pressure coming off Kopitar when Richards and Carter moved their.

The Kings, after the Carter trade, finished the year 17-5-2 and 32-7-2 overall.
I think it had more to do with hiring Darryl Sutter. they went 25-13-11 from mid december on after hiring him where they were 13-12-4 before under terry murray.
