wtf?

Who is wearing Nolan's jersey?

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Nice hands by Nolan there.

 

[member 88115]

Nolan has been alright kids

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings are only down by 1, but it feels insurmountable.

Yep one of those nights right

And Nolan..man, as Jim said, one of his 10 awesome moments a year right there.

 

[HookKing]

Am I the only one that has no clue what we're watching?

 

[kingsfan28]

Both King and Nolan think its 2012 again.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Did Nolan and Kopitar swap jerseys?

 

[lumbergh]

wtf?

Who is wearing Nolan's jersey?

Ahahaha!

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Am I the only one that has no clue what we're watching?

This is the best description of where I'm at right now

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

God, I can't stand listening to Tyson Nash. The guy is at Hayward level.

They are both literally the worst commentators in the league.

 

[damacles1156]

The Kings depth scoring, has been the deciding factor in a lot of wins.

Finally have bottom lines scoring.

Now it's the Top six turn, get on board.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Jim making Bob nearly choke by declaring Bob's first broadcast was for the first NHL game played in the US. lol

 

[TheBannermen]

Muzzin struggling with 5 foot passes is my favorite show in syndication.

 

[kingsfan28]

Yep one of those nights right

And Nolan..man, as Jim said, one of his 10 awesome moments a year right there.

Totally.

 

[HookKing]

Uh oh. All the guys sending Nolan packing just got a wake up call from DS there.

 

[kingsholygrail]

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kopitar looks so slow and old.

 

[KingsFan7824]

I'm talking about quality of goals against, not the big picture.

But thank you for proving my point for me. At this point we'd be talking about needing Quick to steal a game when we're running through a dry spell...but Budaj let's in 2 goals on 5 shots and it's "damn powerplay."

Yeah, because it's Quick. Conn Smythe, Olympic starter, Vezina candidate, 2 time Cup winner, $6m cap hit. All kinds of things that Budaj is not. Budaj is a 34 year old, 3rd string, league minimum goalie that had played 1 NHL game since 2014 before this season.

Budaj isn't as good as Quick, so yes, the rest of the team, all those star players, big money guys, they have to help out a little bit more. I'm looking at them more than Budaj. It would be great if Budaj was better, but he's Peter Budaj.

If Toffoli had 10 goals, and Kopitar was a ppg guy, Doughty was winning a Norris, Muzzin wasn't doing whatever he's doing this year, then Budaj is costing the Kings games. 10 regulation losses, 10 goals for. I'm going to look at Kopitar more than Budaj.

lol cryoates announcers praising zatkoff

 

[kingsfan28]

There was a time when the Kings were out shooting the Yotes 14-4. Now 20-20

 

[kingsholygrail]

ooo wah ah ah ah

 

[lumbergh]

Coyotes sending one forechecker and stacking four guys in the neutral zone. Makes for ugly dump and chase hockey.

 

[HookKing]

Doughty.

 

[damacles1156]

I am starting to get worried about Doughty.

He has looked pretty average-below all season.

 

[KingsFan7824]

There was a time when the Kings were out shooting the Yotes 14-4. Now 20-20

The Kings are just tired. They can't have too many days off, and they can't play too many games in a row.
