Ducks star Corey Perry had high praise for the Kings after they were trounced 6-2 in Game 7 of their playoff series and were eliminated Friday night. "We're close," Perry said. "But close isn't good enough. We're trying to write our own memories, but that's a great team over there. They play a hard-nosed physical game and they forecheck the hell out of you. They're probably the toughest team to play when they have the lead. And they have a great goaltender (Jonathan Quick). They're certainly not a 3 seed." Actually, three of the four Stanley Cup semifinalists -- Montreal, Chicago and Los Angeles -- were No. 3 in their divisions. Only the Rangers were second.
