The Kings got here because they found their offense at the right time. Of course, their defense has always been there, and it begins with Jonathan Quick. The Devils are here because Martin Brodeur found his 2000 form and the rest of the team started contributing, led by the likes of Zach Parise and Ilya Kovalchuk. Experience edge goes to New Jersey, but a few of the Kings have been to the Finals more recently, most notably Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. The players to potentially look out for include Simon Gagne for the Kings (assuming he's healthy enough) and Travis Zajac (who himself missed a considerable amount of time). Ultimately, the Kings' road exploits will have the Stanley Cup take residence in Southern California, though.
Prediction: Kings in 6
