It's Zatkoff and Budaj. There's a reason they're cheap veterans.

Does Zatkoff really count as a veteran though? Budaj is definitely.

Anyone else noticed how much better Kopitar has gotten on his faceoffs? Noticed it during the World Cup

 

[damacles1156]

Best first period, all season so far. Had the Stars on their back foot most of the period.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

kings played there best period of the year so far.

He is winning the important one's.

Through three games Kopitar is at 47.9% 35W 38L

Carter is a beast in the dot so far, 67.9% 38W 18L

Another bad goal given up by our goalie.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Who else is excited for the 2nd?

29 years old, drafted over 10 years ago, now in his 9th year of pro hockey. He's been around. He's the definition of a back up/depth goalie, but he's a type of veteran.

 

[Nieds]

yeah but he made a good pad save on the line

Damn he has been around for a while. Just seems he only recently started getting NHL games.

 

[damacles1156]

Zatkoff needs to just calm down, he has played much better in the past, then what he has showed.

Just make the stops you're suppose too. No one is asking Budaj/Zatkoff to be Quick.

 

[Nieds]

What's special about Budaj? He gave up 4 to the Rangers last year in his one start.

best AHL goalie of the season and yet you judge him after ONE game with Kings last year...

Oh damn I haven't been watching all the games completely . Carts is on fire.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

beautiful pass from pearson niccce snipe ccarter

 

[kingsfan28]

Oh snipe! #77

2-1

 

[kingsholygrail]

Nice to see Carter get on the board. So we got a goal from the bottom 6 and now one from the top.

 

[Little Psycho]

Two minutes to king for being unable to skate

 

[kingsfan28]

As Bob starts talking about the Kings speed, Dallas uses their speed to create a penalty.

 

[kingsholygrail]

McNabb trucked Sharp

 

[123slam]

McNabb trucked Sharp

Love seeing a stick fly like that

edit...ooo, Sharp injured.

Now Eaves too.

 

[123slam]

****ing Benn.

 

[Little Psycho]

Gonna be a long season

 

[SlimCharles]

That was a really soft goal, terrible angle to shoot.

 

[kingsfan28]

Bad penalty = goal for Dallas. But hey, King is a vet who can get away with bad penalties without reprocussions.
