GDT: GM#32 LA King vs New Jersey Devils @4:00

[Sol]

Quick looks rattled this might get bad... And as I say it, goal 4.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This game stinks, just like the state of New Jersey.

 

[Winger23]

Pull quick to save him. The team in front of him is a joke tonight. Wee.

 

[Herby]

Can’t blame luck and bounces when you have zero goals scored and are down 4-0.

Just not much of an effort from the Kings tonight.

Hopefully Fantenburg and Jokinen are in for the next one, team looked a bit slow, something they haven’t been in awhile.

 

[kingsholygrail]

You can definitely say it's a team effort.

 

[tny760]

sorry quickie, gotta have that one

clean 5 holes = gotta go

 

[The Pale King]

Should probably see Kuemper out there in the 3rd.

 

[kingsboy11]

well screw this. I'm studying for finals

 

[fsanford]

Quickie was out of sorts from shot 1, he looked uncomfortable and was out of sync from the get go.

Ya knew a clunker was in the cards as some point. For the team as well as Quick

Oh come on Herby. 99% I agree with you on, but you're off here. You can absolutely blame luck and bounces. The Kings have had awful bounces.

 

[The Pale King]

Just gotta hope it's not a team flu thing and this doesn't spiral going into the next game(s).

I thought Brown looked okay at least. Everybody else though, yikes.

 

[kingsholygrail]

And Raccoon Jesus called it last game. Kings were getting sloppy again.

 

[Sol]

They should have pulled Quick. He seemed pissed after goal 3, and a mad Quick is a goalie with poor focus.

 

[KingsFan7824]

If they weren't always playing well and winning, this is the eventual result. Start a new cycle. Play poor and win. Play poor and lose. Play well and lose. Play well and win. Play poor and win.

 

[Scottkmlps]

They needed a wake up call after the Canes game and they’re getting it. They were getting too comfortable on that win streak.

I've noticed you basically know what Quick you'll get in a game the first time he has to do anything. If he looks weird on the first shot/touch, it could be one of those nights.

Blame bounces when you lose 3-2 or 4-3.

If you get shutout there should be no talk about bounces.

Usually that's the case, but this is the exception not the standard.

The puck has hopped not only the Kings stick like crazy, but has popped up on the Devils in purely lucky ways.

It's almost as if those things aren't mutually exclusive...

 

[kingsfan28]

They were due for an ugly one, tonight he/she arrived. They've played like they got in early this morning and went straight to the rink.

Just got home
Was going to watch the third period
Read some posts here
Decided to make a root beer float and watch Ant Man instead

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Kings aren’t moving their legs today. Guess they collectively decided to take a game off.

 

[KingsFan7824]

12 shots? They average 31.5.

 

[BigKing]

It's cool to call a bad game a bad game. They don't have it tonight. I'd just like to see a better 3rd and then a reset on Friday.

This team has been streaky so two clunkers in a row would be cause for concern as it could snowball quickly.

 

[Little Psycho]

Well this definitely does not look like the best road team. Shit happens!
