Kings rally falls just short as Ducks prevail

LA goals from: Scott Thornton, Rob Blake, Dustin Brown
ANA goals from: Selanne (2), Moen, Niedermayer

Pros: The rally was quite exciting, but I wish the Kings had never gotten behind by four in the first place. Can I have a show of hands? Well, I knew you do too. Pretty nice bounce back game by Cloutier, I read somewhere that he tends to block out crowd (and message boards) noise during games. Apparently, during the Ducks series it worked. Nice to see Lubo Visnovsky get two assists.

Cons: You can't expect to fall behind and work your magic in the dying minutes of the game, can you?
