i'll eat this if i'm wrong, but i'm gonna be pretty f***in pissed off if i learn that doughty just had a soft tissue ouchie he couldn't play though

i know there ain't a lot there above the glove and impacts onto the forearm hurt but i don't think that shot was breaking an arm

Dude, you gotta be kidding. Has he missed any games since the last cup win? Other than the suspension one.

call it a gut feeling

unrelated but ...damn

I call it bullshit.

Well it took 12 games for Todd to realize maybe I shouldn't put garbage out on the ice all that much. Hopefully he'll learn something from this. Once Carter was placed on the Vilardi line and benched the 2 worst players we had a glimpse of hope moving forward. But I expect Wagner and Amadios with Carter again. Todd for ya.

A Brown OT goal to complete the hat trick would be pretty sweet, just to witness the meltdown from Sharks fans.

All Kings fans have now are dreams...

At the start of the next game, TMac needs to convince them its the 2nd period.

I'd like to see Toby in the lineup instead of Alt

 

[kingsfan28]

4 blown leads in the 3rd, all losses.

 

[kingsfan28]

Strand is showing some promise. He got some bite and looks good in just a few games.

 

[kilowatt]

If you had told me that our defense this year would look like this:

Anderson - Clague
Maatta - Strand
MacDermid - Alt

I would have said where, in the ECHL?

 

[kingsfan28]

"He blocked a shot..." Tmac was getting pissed at the same question over and over.

 

[Butch 19]

4 blown leads in the 3rd, all losses.

and with the goalie pulled, they couldn't even get the puck out of the zone 1 time, and no shots at the other goal

AMAZING what they can't do!!

Total games played : about 200 combined, 185 between 2 players.

Had to double check that was Burns cos defending is not his forte.

 

[HookKing]

Looks like the Kings will need to protect Strand.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

And all that cap space.

Agree Strand had a decent game today. Was in the OT with Kopi and Brown I believe he played well.

I mean, dude has missed literally barely 10 games in his entire career, it's one thing to criticize his play but I don't think it's fair to criticize his desire to be on the rink.

How stupid of a tweet, if you let that film roll literally 2 more seconds Vilardi comes back around the other side of the net and pylons him.

like i said, i'll eat it if i'm wrong

yeah the tweet's dumb i was more thinking of how close vilardi got, i don't think i ever saw that reverse angle. think he had a good chance at burying that but that was a strong stick

I think what frustrates me the most is that there just isn't any sort of bounce back over this losing streak. Whether its shift to shift or game to game there's no reaction or emotion. When we played the the Wild last they made a clear and conscious effort to attack us and not just physically and there was no rhyme or reason for it, but it was there.

I think that's a catch 22. If the King's were good, they'd be able to bounce back. But since they suck....there's no motivation to bounce back. To imply if they reacted in a way to motivate a bounce back, they'd stop sucking...I don't think that would make them not sucks, because they inherently suck. This isn't the Kings of 2014, that was good, that could bounce back in a game down two goals (or down 3 games in a series) and win...during the regular season or playoffs.

Right. Wish someone would do one of these gifs of Vilardi deking Burns jockstrap off.

D pairings next game

Mark Alt - Kale Clague
Mikey Anderson - MacDermid
Austin Strand - Mark Alt in makeup

 

[bouncesonly]

Great effort by Vilardi. That's the second time he got stopped down low with an open net above this game. I'm sure he'll make adjustments next time.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I hope Vilardi bottles up tonight and carries it forward. That was a dude that wanted to make his mark on the game.
