GDT: Game #13: KINGS @ BLACKHAWKS - Sunday, 2/17/’13 @ 12:30 pm PST {NBC}

Seriously Williams, why the **** do you make that pass? The Kings have puck control and you give the puck away with that stupid pass.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

I can't believe we lost after this 3rd

 

[Bandit]

For the umpteeenth time, the Kings are once again taught the lesson that you have to play 60 minutes to win...

 

[DrHockey]

Throw another L in the column

 

[damacles1156]

Meh the Hawks look like they let up for the last two periods.

 

[William H Bonney]

If they would have just shown up for the first 30-35 minutes they win that game.

 

[Oh Snap]

3-2 is much better than 3-0.

Except in the standings, where it doesn't matter.

 

[ElKingsFan92]

Looking at their effort in the 1st and 2nd, maybe we shouldn't have been so hopeful.

 

[vbaron]

I hate that ****ing song

 

[Oh Snap]

Pretty much this.

 

[alpa]

If they played like that from the drop then they would be fine.

 

[damacles1156]

If they would have just shown up for the first 30-35 minutes they win that game.

They did show up, except the Hawks showed up too.

The Hawks right now are just on a different compete level.

 

[ShattStar03]

Kings can easily beat this team if they just show up for 60 freakin minutes.

I thought they played pretty well the last half of the 2nd

 

[ElKingsFan92]

If they played like that from the drop then they would be fine.

Yeah, but they haven't been able to do that all season long.

 

[DrHockey]

If they would have just shown up for the first 30-35 minutes they win that game.

I have a feeling we are going to be saying the equivalent soon: "if they would have showed up for the first 3rd of the season, we'd be watching some playoff hockey

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Williams isn't a playmaker nor is he a sniper, he's a ****ing grinder. If you can't make those passes, don't ****ing attempt it.

 

[William H Bonney]

I don't buy it. The Hawks are certainly the better team right now but the Kings were sleepwalking to start.

Totally disagree, the Kings did not show up to start that game. They couldn't even connect one single pass

 

[Live in the Now]

Kings can easily beat this team if they just show up for 60 freakin minutes.

I don't think so. Let's not forget that the Hawks didn't show up those last 20 minutes. That is why the Kings have to play a complete game, not just take bad penalties and fumble around with the puck for a period and a half.

Easily no, can do it yes. Can win a series against them, dunno.

The Hawks make every single team they play look like that.

You have to survive the first period not getting scored on a ton.

 

[Live in the Now]

Yeah, but they haven't been able to do that all season long.

The Kings have been playing like this more often than not. The problem is that they don't turn it into goals, or give up softies at the end of games leaving us wondering how teams got two points out of it (Detroit, Nashville, Edmonton). Rewatch a few of the games and you'll find the time the Kings spend in the opposition's zone as opposed to how often they spend in our zone is one with huge discrepancy.

 

[alpa]

I'm glad they stepped up otherwise it would not be much fun watching upcoming games

Edit ; I would still do it but suffering

Exactly my point. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

Not convinced that the Hawks are that great of a team, they'll start cooling down soon. Quite frankly, I think the Kings are just as strong, they just need to wake the **** up.
