Thursday after his White Tigers Liberec were knocked out of the Czech league
playoffs. "I can hardly find anything as beautiful as hockey in my life," an
emotional Nedved said. Nedved returned to the Olympics to play for the Czech
Republic two decades after winning a silver medal in Lillehammer playing for
Canada. He emigrated from then-communist Czechoslovakia in 1989 to start his NHL
career in 1990 with three seasons for the Vancouver Canucks. In 1995-96, his
best season, he scored 45 goals and had 54 assists for the Pittsburgh Penguins
before adding 10 goals and 10 assists in the playoffs. In 982 NHL regular season
games, Nedved scored 310 goals and added 407 assists. He also played for the St.
Louis Blues, New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, Phoenix Coyotes and Philadelphia
Flyers. He returned home when he retired from the NHL after the 2006-07 season.

Scotia.CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings have taken
similar paths toward the top, hitting big in the draft and making shrewd moves
after rough stretches. They find themselves trying to knock each other out in
the Western Conference finals for the second straight year. The Blackhawks
prevailed last year on their way to the Stanley Cup, and they have the early
lead this time after taking the opener, 3-1. They will try to go up 2-0 when the
best-of-seven series resumes Wednesday night in Chicago. "We felt this year were
in the toughest division and conference," coach Joel Quenneville said. "We just
played two real competitive series (against St. Louis and Minnesota). Every game
is tight. I think finding a way to win is what its all about in todays game. Our
guys are really diligent of doing the little things particularly that some
nights give you an edge." Yes, the Blackhawks keep finding ways. Its why theyre
eyeing their third championship in five years and are trying to become the first
team to repeat since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998. In an era with a
hard salary cap where players want raises, thats simply not supposed to happen.
Parity is the rule, yet the Blackhawks keep rising toward the top. The same goes
for the Kings. Theyre enjoying their most successful era with three straight
trips to the conference finals and a Stanley Cup two years ago after following a
similar path to the Blackhawks. The Kings missed the playoffs from 2003 to 2009
and lost in the first round in 2010 and 2011 before winning their first
championship in 2012. Like the Blackhawks did with Patrick Kane and
Jonathan Toews, they hit in the draft with Anze Kopitar. They also collected a
strong cast to support their core and filled in the gaps with key trades, like
the one that landed Marian Gaborik from Columbus in March. "You have to be able
to adjust to the game, adjust to the rules, adjust to the style," Kings coach
Darryl Sutter said. "I think thats a big reason why were both in the confference
finals again.

Cup champions, I dont know." The Blackhawks missed the playoffs from 2003 to
2008 and landed at rock bottom, with dwindling attendance and an alienated fan
base unable to watch home games on TV because then-owner Bill Wirtz believed it
would be unfair to season ticketholders. They finally emerged with a run to the
conference finals in 2009, losing to Detroit. A year later, they beat
Philadelphia to end a 49-year championship drought, only to have to part ways
with a huge chunk of their team because of cap issues. So they reloaded. "I
think management did excellent job with the team," Chicagos Marian Hossa said.
"We got a great coaching staff. I think the whole organization, its top class.
... (Los Angeles) is a great organization also. They did an excellent job the
last few years. They did it three times in a row. Its just amazing these two
teams battling for the West again." The Kings had a few adjustments to make
after losing 3-1 in Game 1. Their top line of Kopitar, Dustin Brown and Gaborik
got shut down by Toews line, managing just six shots without scoring. Los
Angeles will need more from a trio with 16 goals and 24 assists in the playoffs.
Even when the Kings had their chances, Corey Crawford stopped most of them. He
made 25 saves with several neat stops, turning back Kyle Clifford on a 2-on-1
rush and stopping Gaborik and Brown in rapid succession. So its the Blackhawks
with the early lead in the series and the Kings trying to pick themselves up --
again. They did it after dropping the first three games to San Jose in the first
round and then rallied from 3-2 down to knock out Anaheim in the conference
semifinals. "San Jose and Anaheim had arguably the top two, three, four best
home records this year. We went into those tough buildings and won," Jarrett
Stoll said. "Chicago is no different. A tough building. Were going to have to
figure out a way to win Game 2 and move on."
