Game 48: Kings vs. Sharks - 4/27/13 - Bring on the Blues!

[Live in the Now]

Thank god we are not facing u in round 1.

Especially if cory is still hurt.

Don't think we'll be facing each other in the next either. Wild would have to win for that to happen. Or the Wings. Not counting on that.

 

[Little Psycho]

Greene and Brown were out. They needed an extra.

Oh...duhh. Thanks

No mention of where Richards was

On the bench, chillin' like a Sedin trying to keep his consecutive game streak alive. I wouldnt worry about it, saw him skate on the ice after the game to congratulate Quick.

First epic fail post on the main boards.

NO chance. Now that Brown has a record, his cheap stuff won't go uncalled. Neither will the rest of the teams. That's what won them the cup last year. The refs were too busy being in lalaland in their minds to call anything.

 

[kingsfan28]

We also finished with one more ROW than the Ducks. LOL.

And a better second half record too.

ALREADY?! Wow - that's quick.

Yes, the refs helped the Kings SWEEP the Blues last year.

What the hell is he talking about? Seriously, I can't even respond intelligently to that.

Ah, that's good news. Thanks for the heads up

Blues and Elliott shouldn't be taken lightly. Just look at Elliott's SV% and GA in the past 13 games. The guy has been phenomenal!!! One goal or less in 10 of 13 games.

Let's not get overconfident/cocky. Blues are a very tough team.

First time the Kings went unpenalized in a game in 36 years.

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm more concerned about our road record than Brian Elliott.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

First time the Kings went unpenalized in a game in 36 years.

Refs just wanted that game to end.

 

[Nefarious]

First time the Kings went unpenalized in a game in 36 years.

Yeah, that's crazy. Wasn't there one penalty the whole game?

 

[Limekiller]

Sharks fan here. Grats on the win.

Sorry we won't be facing each other, though. I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of Dance GIFs suddenly were silenced...

I agree! Blues will not be easy by any means gonna be a war!

Thanks, it's funny. All three Cali teams are in, and none will face each other in the first round. Good luck against Canucks. Watch out for high diving!

 

[HYORI 1963]

Should be concerned about both.

 

[Nefarious]

Should be concerned about both.

Yeah, but we heard the same thing last year about Elliot and Smith. Not saying he's not going to have a phenomenal performance. But, as we know, regular season and playoffs are worlds apart.

No way...interesting.

great win....now let's get some more starting in STL

I agree with the NBC guys, the western conference is very happy that the kings and blues are facing each other in the first round.

All three playoff series between the kings and blues have been sweeps.

 

[ukyo]

I'm actually glad that the Blues will get home ice. St. Louis had the most trap potential of the possible matchups, what with the year plus of pwnage. If they were going to drop a game to taking them too lightly then I'd rather have them get it out of the way on one of the road games. Of course, I'd rather they just not take the Blues lightly from the get-go...

Darryl Sutter on Mike Richards: "He struggled before the game. He's been sick."

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Damn, this just shows you how long the 82-game season really is. This shortened season already felt long to me. After 48 games, we're normally just looking forward to the all star game.

Enjoy the never-ending river of bull**** from the over-confident Canucks fans. And diving, lots of diving.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Any more remarks on Richards? What does sick mean? Stomach flu, cold, flu?
