We need MacDermid against the Stars.

 

[ru4reals]

C'mon can't let Detroit get too far ahead of us.

 

[HookKing]

Nice. Forbort breaks up 3 on 1.

 

[kilowatt]

Great defensive play there, was that Forbort?

Thought they said Walker.

 

[kingsfan28]

anyone but cliffy might've scored there.

 

[HookKing]

No Jim, it wasn't angle. Clifford, has no hands.

 

[HookKing]

Thought they said Walker.

Nope.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Has anyone noticed Jeff Carter at all? This is his fifth consecutive game where he’s been held pointless.

Unfortunately yes, multiple bad passes.

 

[ru4reals]

16-4 when we score first. 16-5 incoming.

They said Walker on TV but it was Forbort

[kingsfan28]

In other news the Reign are losing 8-0 to Barracuda right now so there's that

Yeah, they said Walker, but I was pretty sure it was actually Forbort as well.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I can stomach bad play, I can't stomach lazy play...and right now Drew Doughty is making Jeremy Roenick look like Adam Deadmarsh.

damn, that's pretty harsh. One again, without proper support, he's trying to do everything himself.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Kings had a good road trip. Only natural they go back to sucking at home. Also, iirc, January is historically the worst month for Kings hockey.

 

[bob77]

Definitely not great for Quick, he bit on Seguin's shot, but what the **** was Forbort doing there? Watching Benn score from the far post? At best, he was acting as a backboard for Benn's shot.

Okay, yikes.

Forbort was covering back door. The guy way out of PK position was Walker. He has to be able to get back low at least a little bit. Benn had all day.

 

[The Tikkanen]

To go from watching Toronto-Winnipeg OT and shootout to this Kings game I would swear I was watching a league lower.

I'm not at all saying that Forbort was at fault for Walker being out of position or for Quick flailing out of position. That goal's on both of them. But at some point, if the guy taking the shot has a wide open net, I think you ought to leave your position to try to stop it.

 

[HookKing]

With Lizzote probably out for a while, any chance we see ah hem, Gabe?
