what is the point of nolan if he isn't the one fighting? did someone tell him he was a skilled payer or something else dumb like that? Does he even have a hit?! Might as well put Greene in on the 4th line

Except they've been doing this from the start of the season. Lower expectations, a rash of injuries, but it's been like this from basically the 1st game. Certainly the 1st home game. The schedule doesn't help, but they already gave up a 3-0 lead at home to Vancouver. They can't seem to win in regulation if they give up even 1 goal at any point in the game.

I am starting to think, Age is taking a toll finally. This NHL, the current one, seems to be a young man's game.

Dwight King in Gretzky's office.

12 shots so far, boy that's not enough.

I don't expect the third to be better given the situation.

Best possession team in the league laying an egg three games in a row shows how this team is hurting right now via both injuries and exhaustion.

It's a lot of different little cuts that keep adding up over what is closing in on the last 185 games.

It's all taking it's toll, especially the injuries. Also Forbort/Gravel are not use to the grind yet.

They have both looked exhausted, dead tired.

 

[Bandit]

I dunno, how real can exhaustion be 15 games into the season?

The Back to Backs are not what kill players, it's Four games in Six, or in this case four in Five.

Young Defenders getting hit nightly, are not use to that type of grind.

 

[Bandit]

For rookies I can understand sure, but there are a lot of vets on this team that look like ass.

If you've ever traveled, you know what that alone does to your body. Playing 4 NHL games in a short amount of time in different stops can't be fun either.

If they still look out of sync, slow to the puck, and easily muscled after a game or two back at home, then I'll be worried. Otherwise, today's performance is about what I expected, if not worse on the shot attempt counter for sure. Yet somehow we're within a goal of a point.

 

[damacles1156]

Brown/Dowd/Seto have been real good nightly, that is a positive.

 

[The Night King]

I dunno, how real can exhaustion be 15 games into the season?

And they've had two long summers, with a little tournament or two.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

its still close come on boys lets get a couple in the 3rd

I understand what you're saying, but they don't travel like you and I travel. I've flown LA to Boston in economy and felt like ass. I've also flown first class to Tahiti and it was the easiest flight in my life.

Anyhow, I'm not mad about the game, if they can pull something out of this i'll consider it a bonus.

Kings are really not doing a good job outnumbering the Jets in the corners on the PP.

 

[damacles1156]

Brown's line is the best line, the Kings have.

Who would have thought that ?

Also Doughty, man he is playing bad last few games.

 

[Bandit]

Carter has to bury that.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Lol Carter gets a breakaway and shoots it straight into the glove

 

[damacles1156]

No room for error with this team, Carter has to score there.

 

[damacles1156]

Honestly shocked it's only 2-1, Good job of the Kings hanging within one.

Games starting to slow down. Kings bringing it back to their speed . I know that sounds really really bad, but the Kings style is about controlling the pace of the game and they are starting to do that. It's not inherently a negative.

 

[theMajor]

Forbort is great today

I understand what you're saying.

I like the Kings to change style, and play more uptempo.

But I understand what that takes, the Kings don't have the players to do so.

So it would require a top down, tear down, and about 5-7 years of drafting.

 

[damacles1156]

Forbort is great today

Looks tired, but held his own today so far.

Pretty good when Forbort is the one that looks more stable paired with Doughty.

Heh.
