Game 1 in each quarterfinal series has been claimed by the team whose mascot won the THN.com showdown. Coincidence? I’ll leave that up to you. But you might want to play it safe and vote to pick the better mascot in the Kings-Ducks series (and potentially will your team to a Game 1 win)…

The Hockey News

In the third and final installment of our NHL playoff quarterfinal match-up Mascot Showdown, it's the L.A. Kings' Bailey against the Anaheim Ducks' Wild Wing. In the first two clashes,

Montreal's Youppi romped over Boston's Blades, while

Chicago's Tommy Hawk got the best of Minnesota's Nordy. That means Game 1 in each series has been claimed by the team whose mascot won the THN.com showdown (not including the Penguins' Iceburgh, who got a walk because the Rangers don't employ a mascot). Coincidence? I'll leave that up to you.

Vote below to pick the better mascot in the Kings-Ducks series (and potentially will your team to a Game 1 win)...
