This was not a set up shot, just some very quick thinking on my part!

Is it also somewhat of a coincidence that the guys are all wearing the LA Kings' black & white jerseys and that the bathroom is decorated in the same colors?

The guys are from The Briggs [link] that have been opening the games at the Staples Center for every one of the LA Kings playoffs for the Stanley Cup, with their song "This is LA".

Yea, strange that they didn't, but I guess Staples Center was losing too much money on the tickets for that area the band would use!

if they'd set it up like they did last season, it wouldn't have taken up seating space if I recall correctly. It just wasn't the same without hearing "This is LA" kick off every game. Though MCR's "Black Parade" was a decent alternative.

That area they play in takes away about 20 seats I think (it's the wheelchair access area). That's big money for play off tickets!
Check out the Kings playlist, the Briggs made it on there: [link]

if they'd at least had them play for the first game of the playoffs, they wouldn't have lost much, about as much as they were charging for a single seat in the final.

Yup, that's business! Also why they have a play off instead of just one game to decide the champion, more tickets sold!

an entire series does make sense as far as deciding an absolute winner, it makes things more decisive than a victory from a single lucky bounce.

any seats are big money for playoffs.... which sucks for those of us who can't afford to drop a grand on a seat in the upper 300s.
