The
Kings appear in their third Stanley Cup finals. They won in 79 and lost in 80.
Guy Lafleur is still doing greatness into his 30’s, getting 60 goals and 130 points, but he isn’t the biggest star in this series.
Wayne Gretzky and
Mark Messier are the best duo in the NHL, and still are both babies. This is their first finals, and it might be a coronation for them atop the NHL. In addition to being the best offensive team in the NHL, the
Whalers are the best defensive aswell. The
Kings are in tough here, but you have to give them credit. They have been here before, and know how to win. They looked great in these playoffs. They have as good a shot as anyone!
