What was that danault

 

[lumbergh]

Danault too busy doing his makeup to defend that tip

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Also good to see Byfield revert back to the invisible ghost he has been for 90% of the season.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Filthy tip by Ricark in OT.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Time to put the "they respond well to losses" to the test.

 

[onlyalad]

Good teams beat bad refs

 

[Omni Owl]

Seems like these refs were actively trying to f*** them over the whole game, I'll take the point when its like that. Gavvy could've ended it but oh well...

 

[Bandit]

Lasted longer than I thought they would. Same result though.

 

[Docgonzo]

Why did Danault skate slowly behind Rachel and cover his mouth instead of using both hands to try and tie up Rakell’s stick?

 

[DoktorJeep]

Good game. Kings got a point. Kempe and Turk brought it. No shame to lose to another team with elite vets. And Lizotte was a ghost, so that’s one right decision Rob Blake made.

Wow, just checked. Lizotte has 7 goals so far. Good for him!

ghostfield .. living in a different dimension. Not that Hiller is helping with 4th liner Jeanot... Foegle is solid, but need more creativity - so give me a Turcotte on his wing at least not Jeanot

Next game the Flyers on ESPN+/Hulu. Radio game for the rest of us.

-Danault- still gets a 1st at deadline
-Fiala-1st and good prospect
-Gavrikov-easily gets a first and he 100% waves to go to a playoff team.

-Kempe gets a haul at the draft 1st 2nd and possibly a good prospect

-Drew gets a 1st if you eat 4 million of his contract (he gets pissy when guys gets moved and asks for a trade.)

-Moore gets you a first

That’s a hell of a chunk to rebuild with!

He got high sticked in the corner, thats why he was holding his mouth as he went though the crease and was late. Completely missed it.

 

[FSL KINGS]

Spence blows it with back to back dumb plays. On to Nashville.

I didn't see this but would have been par for the course all night

Malkin selling a trip fresh off high sticking the puck twice told everyone what the script was

Le fils du francais

 

[BaileyFan]

playing not-to-lose in Ot vs a non playoff team with the 2nd worst goal differential in the conference

Dog shit coaching tonight

Probably doesn’t make that much of a difference at the end of the day but playing not-to-lose has been their M.O. in OT for years. It sucks seeing Kopi or Danault over the boards every shift to kill any momentum and play in slow motion. It’ll be worse once Doughty is back.

It makes so much sense when you consider how awesome this team has been in shootouts. And especially considering how important shootouts are in the playoffs…

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Like just get it over with quickly either way

Sure I get why Kopitar goes

But may as well throw over Byfield Fiala Clarke and let chaos ensue

LIterally can't be worse than their current lottery winning pace in OT/SO

At least put some thought into it.. you can flip 4 points by being .500 in OT - thats 2 extra wins. There is no excuse to be that far under .500 in OT. Thats simply a total coaching failure.

 

[kilowatt]

Don't look now but Turcotte's got a higher points per game than Byfield
