| Final - 12.9.2008 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Kings | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Colorado Avalanche | 3 | 3 | 0 | 6 |
The Avalanche obliterated the Kings 6-1 in front of some enthusiastic Pepsi Center fans (and about 4,000 empty seats). While there were some good things from the Avs the real story here was the way Los Angeles played (terribly) and the way they reacted to said play (like babies).
