GDT: Buffalo Sabres 1, Los Angeles Kings 0 (Final)

[Raccoon Jesus]

What a ****ing flop

 

[damacles1156]

These lost points are going to come back to haunt us. We can't bank on getting red hot at the end of every season and have it pay off. Sooner or later, it's going to burn us badly.

It will be this year. Calgary and the Nucks are for real. That coupled with Kopitars career worse year. You have a recipe for missing the playoffs.

 

[TheSentinel]

Wow Gianta can't stay on his feet

 

[DocWest]

Here comes another "worst PP in the league" PP goal.

 

[kingsfan28]

Gionta fell the second he was touched.

 

[kingsfansince1967]

Bottom of the barrell or will the downfall be pursued?

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Kings went full Edmonton on that one. Never go full Edmonton.

Just flip out the uniform... that's us right there.... play like you don't give a ****.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

We are 2012-ing hard these days.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Can't touch Gionta I guess.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

At least brownie is punishing people. That's nice to see again.

 

[DocWest]

Gionta fell the second he was touched.

He also threw his head back like he got sniped when he drew the high stick call earlier in the game.

 

[KINGS17]

Brain cramp by Richards to leave Buffalo's best offensive player all alone in front of Quick.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Sabres acting like they've never been hit before

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

It's Kings tradition to lose in Buffalo, to start to struggle in December, and for the offense to dry up.

It's all things we see from this inconsistent team year after year during the regular season.

Sabres D reminds me of the old Devils team. D so strong, makes for a very boring game.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Richards came to play. Again.

That was the first road goal allowed by the Kings in 190:32 #Impressive #NHLonNBC

Against the Sabers that will probablly result in the only goal of the game, and a loss.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings are getting held and mugged all over the ice. Time to start snapping those heads back, guys b

 

[damacles1156]

Really sad Richards line deserves a goal tonight . Best line all night bar none

 

[NikF]

Richards is willing the Kings back into the game

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think the fourth line has generated the most amount of chances for the Kings, and the best players continue to show very little.

If Gianta is going to keep acting like that happens might as well let him feel a real one.

 

[Ron*]

Everything gets blocked.

Still think this team could use a small shake up trade to send a message that complacency will not be accepted.

LOL two Cups in three seasons and a little losing streak and you are going to move a two-time Cup winner.

Really?

Some of you guys are really impatient.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Someone needs to remind these guys that a playoff spot isn't guaranteed

 

[Herby]

Obviously breaking down the 1 goal you give up when you don't score any is a bit ridiculous, but if you watch the replay on the Sabres goal it's pretty disgusting. The Kings had 3 guys below the goal line on the PK. Greene went behind the net to try and hit a guy who was about to pass the puck and Richards is standing below the goal line to the right of Quick, not defending either the guy behind the net with the puck or the guy standing in front of the net.

A hockey coach could use that video sequence to tell you what not to do on the PK. It's really embarrassing to see from a pro team.
