Former LAist contributor Eric Locko strapped a GoPro camera to his head for last night's Game 7 at STAPLES Center between the Kings and the Sharks. Here are the results:
The Kings beat the Sharks 2-1 in a tense showdown. It was the first Game 7 the Kings had hosted since 1989, a 6-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers, and the first they were involved in since a 4-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in 2002.
The Kings will face the winner of tonight's Game 7 between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings. The Kings will either host Game 1 against Detroit on Friday at 6 p.m. PT or will face the Blackhawks in Chicago at 2 p.m. PT on Saturday.
