Poo game.

Why is Vegas still good?

Why is Vegas still good?

Not sure they’ve played a road game yet this year

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Martinez blew that

 

[onlyalad]

First time shutout this season

 

[Bandit]

Sharks win the cup!!!

 

[bob77]

So how many games in a row have they given up a power play goal?

We have to score some of our own pp. kings are still number 1 in league at PK. The goals are just as much about taking too many penalties per game. We can’t expect our PK to be absolutely perfect just to offset our horrible PP.

 

[HookKing]

Its just 1 game.

 

[Little Psycho]

A lot of guys took the rest of the game off and it didn't help that the refs planned to gift this game to the sharks to begin with.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Honestly only thing I'm mad at is the uneven reffing. Evenly played game and we couldn't get the bounces past Jones. The chances were certainly there. Not that there's ever a 'good loss' particularly against a divisional opponent but that's certainly one of the better ones as our play has begun to trend up

 

[Vamos Rafa]

The Sharks should've folded or relocated after 2014.

 

[deaderhead28]

6-4 of their last 10?

The D in particular had a nice game.

 

[Little Psycho]

Happy holidays guys!!! Overall the kings have been pretty good thus far! (minus AA of course)

 

[tny760]

would absolutely love for jones to get fined for diving there with 0:40 left

just wiped the f*** out and made a meal out of nothing

 

[deaderhead28]

Its just 1 game.

True but that's what 6-4 in their last ten?Now some may think that's awesome, but in two games that could be 6-6 in 12.

 

[Bandit]

Its just 1 game.

Yup. Big picture. Kings still tied for first in the conference at the Christmas break. Will they win the division? Maybe not, but they just lost a game to the third best defense in the league for their first shutout of the year. Last year at this time shutouts we’re already in triple digits.

 

[Bandit]

Sharks should have been nothing more than a stain on the mattress.

 

[Legionnaire]

seriously, that **** is unacceptable

really high on my list of pet peeves, especially for a man that's not longer with us

I know it was likely a simple typo, but it's pretty disrespectful.

 

[kingsfan28]

To quote Christopher Walken...that was crap!

 

[SlimCharles]

At least the Kings didn't blow a 3-0 series lead in the playoffs.

 

[damacles1156]

The losses stacking up to Western Conference teams and division opponents is starting to worry me. The Kings won't play the Eastern Conference in round one-three of the playoffs.

it's just one of those beauties you can keep in your back pocket and drop any time one of them gets out of line, love it

I was going to say the only small consolation I have about that is we played well tonight and that chickenshit style won't make it to the playoffs, but the Kings have to figure out how to crack the teams that just want to play landmine hockey.

With the chances we had tonight, that's one of those games Brown refers to about streaks--sometimes when you're on a winning streak you win games you should lose, sometimes when you're on a losing streak you lose games you should win. I'm not saying that was necessarily a "should win" but we played well enough to, just didn't get the puck in the actual net when it was wide open after good work. I'd be more worried if this were a 2015-esque pattern of 'dominate but lose' but we've been good at converting high danger chances in general this year.

And of course the GWG was scored when Andreoff blasted Mitchell so what are you gonna do.
