Kings have only played 3 less games of hockey of the last 2 years, and considerably more over the last 3 and look to be firing on all cylinders. Also, the Kings have had a considerably more grueling run in this year's playoffs. Only 2 more games played but the Hawks had several days rest between each series and I believe the Kings had 1 day off between each series. I guess the major difference is the Hawks had 10 Olympians and the Kings 6. The Kings last year looked like the tired beat up team vs the Hawks, looks like the opposite this series. Not making excuses but the Hawks haven't really looked right since February. That being said if I think the Hawks can win this series.
