aw crap, they blew it down when we had the puck

??? Quick signature move is just sliding from post to post (and beyond).

I like how Bob and Jim seem to go out of their way to not say: "when the puck crosses the goal line, almost all of Quick's body is out of the crease - and on the side opposite of where the puck ends up. WTF is he doing that far out of position?"

He was lining up the shot and Clifford tried to block it with his stick and it ended up redirecting into the goal instead.

Richards and Carter did really well killing time there.

Hope Avs goalie is ok. Sucks for that to happen.

 

[no name]

Man, Carter doesn't miss many but he blew an easy goal there when he missed the net entirely.

 

[PrototypeX85]

Wow, some classy Kings fans in attendance tonight...

 

[Vamos Rafa]

The booes are giving us kings fan a bad rep.

Pushing too hard, Quick is too strong. Strong like Bull

 

[kingsfan28]

Why are fans booing an injured player? Show some class people. Lets not act like Philly fans.

Because we had control of the puck.nobody knew he was hurt

Spin around shots aren't easy to pull off and lack accuracy. On a shot like that with his back to the net, you're just spinning and shooting hoping it's on net.

 

[MsMeow]

What a bizarre sequence.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Oh man, this looks like antorn acl.

 

[The Butcher]

They have not clinched a playoff spot.

Haha thanks man, I'm aware of the standings.

Maybe I said it wrong. 3 wins into a playoff spot probably makes more sense to say. 6 points, however you want to say it.

... and if Quick stays between the pipes, he has "some chance" of stopping the puck.


when he slides past the post, it really doesn't matter where the puck is shot, he's waaaay out of position.

 

[Herby]

After a decent start to the season, Clifford has reverted to the crappy player we saw from last season. Stupid penalties is all he has been good for of late. He's never covering his side of the ice in his end and is bobbling pucks and losing board battles. He may need a rest.

Clifford has been the worst player on the team for quite awhile now.

I can't think of anything positive he is contributing to the team, it's to bad because he has the skill set to be a unique player who can provide toughness and a little bit of skill, but right now he is just a blackhole on whatever line he is put on.

Coming from a Duck fan?

Haha, gtf outa here! You are are adorable see you on Saturday.

 

[kingsfan28]

Looks like the Kings still havent remembered how to shoot and the avs have.Every time in the zone, the avs get it on net

Yup because the puck is moving the same way you are and it's hard to get it in the center of your blade because of the turn.

Johnny B would have been in the same spot....It was at the edge of the blue paint were a Goalie should be....

What are you getting at ?

It was a defection that went in.....

That is how he plays. You can't blame a goalie when his own player deflects it into his net.

 

[Puck U]

The PK seems to have given the team a little life and energy ... and now a PP ... lets regain the lead.

 

[kingsfan28]

wow, a powerplay

Hey, hey. I come in peace. I'm a rare fan of both teams (my dad took me to Kings games as a kid and I saw Gretzky live), but I was also a kid when the Mighty Ducks movies came out, so they became my favorite team. I cheered for the Kings in the playoffs last year.

Trust me, if I was watching a game at the Honda Center and heard fans booing an injured player on the other team, I'd be posting in that topic as well, claiming the fans were being classless.

Best of luck Saturday.

 

[damacles1156]

Richards is having one hell of a game. Kopitar has been invisible again.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

Man if Kopitar had a more of a shooters mindset he'd be so good.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The top line has been rather invisible, not seeing many strong puck possession shifts from them. Kopitar needs to have a strong, dominant shift.
