Game 2... Pens go up. Sharks tie in third. Pens win in OT.
Pottery guys. Pottery.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Sheary. Rookie, small, and fast. Definitely a Kings-type of player.....

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Scores have been close, but the Penguins have been the much better team on the ice

 

[kingsfan28]

Sheary with the very Jeff Carter like OT winner. Pens go up 2-0

 

[The Night King]

Sharks.

Don't choke now Pens.

King.Vet, big and slow with no hands. Definitely a Kings-type of player.

Lose a clean faceoff and give up a goal. How does it feel SJ? How does it feel!

7 goals and 10 points in 44 regular season games. Fits right in.

Think I saw San Jose was 2nd worst out of the 16 playoff teams in faceoffs and bottom 3 in defensive zone starts.

game 1 didn't reach OT

And the Kings couldn't even take advantage of that either.

They won 4 offensive zone faceoffs vs the Kings and scored 4 times.

Ah you're right... >.> It was CLOSE to OT. Whatever. Still funny to me.

Logan Couture, 47% faceoffs on the season and 43% in the playoffs. I guess he's the only good boy who plays by the rules.

 

[HookKing]

Am I the only one that thinks Jones has been solid but hardly spectacular? It seems like every Pens shot was one and done.

Including the saddest goal of the year where Kopitar couldn't handle Pavelski, and Quick and Doughty had no idea what was going on.

 

[kingsfan28]

What a baby.

That's the kind of goal you see in a preseason game, not the playoffs. Kopitar looked like he was more afraid of taking a penalty than making the right play.

 

[Drumstick Handler]

What a baby.

Sore winner and a sore loser.

 

[Little Psycho]

Couture crying to the media about Crosby cheating on faceoffs. What a team full of losers.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

I may be...cough...mildly rooting for the Sharks in this series.

Because the Sharks would've scored on the PP anyway. The Kings were 0-5, had no answer for Pavelski, Burns, or Thornton, and were outscored 22-11 at home against the Sharks this year, and that particular goal sums up those numbers in one play pretty well.

What would be the last team that was that bad at home against another team during a season? It wasn't even the best team in the league against an expansion team. It was two playoff teams.
