Game #64 KINGS @ JETS , 3/6/'14 ... Win 3-1

[KingsKnight]

Can we just appreciate the 10/10 points since the Olympic break? All in regulation. 12/12 points if you count the game before the break. And we just added a pure goal scorer. Let's keep it up boys.

Great game by Kings. Winnipeg held with them in the first but the Kings relentless 4 line attack just wore down the Jets who just don't have that depth.

Gaborik looked really good despite his lack of points. Made some plays happen and was inches from a couple of goals.

LOVED the game of Voynov today. Kept the pucks in many times during key moments, made all the right reads. Looked really good.

This was how the Kings played in the playoffs, rolling at teams that just can't handle that depth. I think LA will putting on the afterburners down the stretch here.

Still, the Jets just might sneak into the playoffs and you will owe me a B-fast.

I am in ND in a little bit and then have to travel through Wpg for a day too. Hope I am there to see the Jets sneak into the playoffs, it would be a serendipitous moment.

Is it me or has brown and Voynov really step it up after the break? And is brown la awnser to Claude Lemieux not huge in the regular season but great in the playoffs

Why do people always feel the need to compare AMart and Muzzin, just appreciate what they both offer since they are both in the lineup and probably for good.

Greene can't be counted on anymore, what little footspeed he has is gone. And McNabb will be an option next year.

IMHO they get compared because muzzin in an ideal situation would be fighting for being the O dman on the 3rd pairing. Obviously since the kings are lacking anyone else that can play with drew they are both getting dressed.

If the kings can upgrade in the offseason getting a partner for drew I think it would be great to Have Muzzin and martinez fighting for that last spot.

Post-game audio: Mike Richards, Dustin Brown and Marian Gaborik.

Coach Sutter ducked out before we could grab him.

Thank you!

Was at the game; solid play, I liked what I saw from the Kopitar line. Didn't see a replay, but before Amart scored, did Toffoli hit bar or did it go in?

Hit the bar. That was a wicked wrister.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Toffoli looked real sharp tonight, especially on defense. He's gonna be so good. Watching the replay of FSW.

 

[KingLB]

Watching the replay....man the Kings coulda had like 5 goals in the third...including like 3 for the third line....

Tonite also proved that breaking up Richards and Carter was just about the dumbest thing Sutter could have done.

 

[damacles1156]

I don't blame Sutter for breaking up Richards/Carter.

The team was playing like garbage before that happened.

He had to try something.

 

[HansH]

Another Kings win?

And I actually think it's been RR44 who's shown the biggest improvement since coming back from the break - that might just have been what that veteran body needed.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Hit the bar. That was a wicked wrister.

When that happened, I said, "remember that one". No more than 30 seconds later, "I guess not".

 

[ibleedkings]

I can't see Greene getting back in there, unless there's an injury.

Things changed when they finally acquired a player capable of playing with Kopitar. Up until the Gaborik trade they didn't have a player like that and that is why DS had Carter with him.

Now they can roll with Carter and Richards and not have to worry about his best player not having a finisher on his line.

I really like this roster.

I really like this roster.

Don't say that on the main boards, everybody is saying Avs>>>Kings. Avs have a great roster, but how quickly they underestimate a veteran winning team.

 

[goosh]

Definitely agree with the sentiment that Robyn Regehr has been better. Not something that'll always get noticed, but he's been a rock lately. With Mitchell being a shell of his former self and same deal with Greener, Reggie needs to be that consistent defensive-minded dman.

Among other guys who have stepped up their game: Mike Richards, Dustin Brown.

[Riposte!]

Voynov's best game of the season by a landslide.

Yeah and they're one of the top four elite teams along with Anaheim, Chicago, St. Loius. Aves been crappin a load since Sakic and the gang retired and they have one good season and they're elite all of a sudden! They're a good team this year but c'mon now!

So how did Gabo look at left wing? Whenever he played left wing with the Rangers he sucked so bad!

Had at least a few real good chances.

 

[Quattro]

Unreal. Other than a couple backhanded jabs at Muzzin and Greene, this may be the most positive PGT since Game 6 of the 2012 Finals!

 

[Steve Zissou]

Not that I think Top Titty will go back down, but he really needs to stay up.

Having him in the top 10 really allows Brown and Stoll to make that 3rd line productive.

Maybe King or Pearson can swap in on that 3rd line.

Love it.
