Its A Kingspiracy !
It's just epic. But oh wells onto the next tank game.
if you think the kings will tank to get the top pick, you'll be wrong. The nhl will never allow them to get it.

Kopitar, Carter, Brown, Kovalchuk and Amadio all should have had goals, could have been a different game. Fluery was the difference.
Okay fellow Kings fans please put your sharp utencils, your ropes, your dangerous self inflicting objects down this is what we all expected this year it'll get better it can't get any worst then this. Take a deep breath. We won 2 games. It'll be alright.

Obviously he’s not the same goalie from 5-7 years ago. He’s been through too many injuries and he’s not as athletic as he once was. He lets too many rebounds float around.
That being said...the D and system the Kings have is garbage in front of him. What’s Terry Murray doing these days?

One team was also literally perfect on special teams.
Really agreed though, simply goaltending and PP/PK. Rest of the game was fine, good effort.
Carter is cursed, Kempe is just the fast reckless kid on Mighty Ducks 2, every else had their moments. Doughty/Hutton were the tire fire tonight, I liked all our other dmen. Roy was very physical with the stepups, Walker ruled at carrying the puck, Ryan quietly looked incredibly poised.
Amadio is just getting better every game.

i think i'm just a little hurt by the fact that i'm now being slapped in the face by the piss poor performances of the veterans on this teamOkay fellow Kings fans please put your sharp utencils, your ropes, your dangerous self inflicting objects down this is what we all expected this year it'll get better it can't get any worst then this. Take a deep breath. We won 2 games. It'll be alright.
now that there's actually some talented depth their inability to play at an NHL level is really apparent

I think Quick should only get starts if it's against bottom 15 teams or the 2nd game of back-to-backs. Time for Campbell to be the #1 goalie. I would have even started Campbell tonight.

To elaborate...
Vegas getting the puck off the ice on their shots was the difference. Fleury just had to make the saves he was supposed to make. Quick wasn't able to make a save he shouldn't make to change the momentum Vegas owned from the start of the 2nd on to the end.

Which ones?
It was a back to back and Campbell was ass last night too.
Both goalies have sucked and have split time nearly perfectly sucking. It's just an odd number of games so it's 3-2 instead of 2.5-2.5 or something. Come on.

If those guys had better finishes, heck even mediocre shots they all would have scored. Leaving it on the ice or two inches up is gonna be a save almost every time on a goalie with just ok movement
Carter, Quick, Martinez, and Kempe(the young one) have been brutal. Carters penalty when it was 2-1 was......no words.

Amadio sporting that sweet 72% CF% tonight. Thought he might be overmatched vs. veterans but more than acquitted himself well.

I also find it a little hard to pick on Martinez given he's basically our #2 right now. He's miscast, like Derek Armstrong, and being asked to mentor younger guys while often being put in positions over his head at this point in his career.
This team needs a PK d-man badly, it's getting rocked when Doughty and Martinez are the only guys with a clue there. Walker and Roy should not be on an NHL PK.

Carter is not cursed. He's just done! The injuries have taken toll on him and he's just a shell of his former self.

carter, toffoli, martinez, kempe are my current shitlist for the most part
these guys are basically part-time players while being fed big minutes.. they absolutely vanish for stretches of the game and carter/martinez' mistakes are akin to kovy's where it just sucks the life out of the game
i can excuse the top line sometimes because you're getting all the tough matchups and you just lose those sometimes, but that has to be picked up by the middle 6 and outside of a few players we're not getting that. 4th line has been great in stretches but their role is diminished when the middle 6 kill momentum

Obviously you can't outright ignore special teams but it's much more important to be a good 5v5 team given some games you won't even see special teams time.
At 5v5 that was a very even game, slightly favoring our play.
As a whole, this team at 5v5 is a top-echelon team, getting totally sabotaged by whatever portion you attribute to defense/goaltending and special teams. No small feat given the teams they have played.
I'm glad they've mostly figured out the big part, now to the details...

Take your blinders off. Campbell would have stopped two or three of those. He's a much bigger goalie so he takes up more space. Even when he's in the butterfly, he still can take away the high shots. Also as fast as the Knights are, you need a goalie who's good at playing the puck. Campbell plays the puck very well. The numbers don't lie, Campbell 2-0 and Quick 0-3.

So like, we aren't good?
Defense and goaltending is horrible and we won't be scoring 7 a game so strap in and chill.
