It’s game 7 time with a spot in the Western Conference Finals on the line. I’ve not made any picks in a while, but I felt the need to come back and make my game 7 pick for tonights game.

San Jose Sharks @ Los Angeles Kings
The Sharks and Kings have each held serve in their building for this entire series. This was to be somewhat expected as each team had extremely strong home records throughout the season with the Sharks going 17-2-5 at home and the Kings doing even better at 19-4-1. In the playoffs neither team has lost a home game yet (Kings are 6-0 and the Sharks are 5-0), but that said game 7’s are their own animal. Even so I like the Kings tonight. Not so much because they are at home, but because they play a style that wins game 7’s and they have the experience in their locker room to come out with a win tonight. Jonathan Quick has been the best goaltender in these playoffs and it will be very hard for the Sharks to beat him in front of his own fans. I expect a tight game, but the Kings will find a way to win late.
