NHL Conference Finals Open Thread: Say Hello to Your Mother for Me

Kings/Coyotes kicks off tonight with Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. I'm sure that the players will spend a lot of time this Mother's Day honoring each other's in conversations tonight.

Los Angeles Kings (8) vs. Phoenix Coyotes (3) - 8:00 NBCSN: Perhaps NHL history's most-dangerous 8 seed will meet the Pacific Division champions in what looks like it will be one hell of a goaltending duel. The Kings' have been absolutely killer while shorthanded, but the Yotes are no slouches at special teams. Both teams have dominated 5-on-5 scoring while being consistently outshot. I don't know what's going to happen in this series, but I expect it to be an excellent matchup.
