Devils telecast just said 1st of the season and 4th of his career.

Got it backwards
This is the third time Kings have been shut out

Something to cheer us up.

i was at work. Glad to see i didn't miss a thing.

Devils fan here, i've noticed the last few times I have watched the Kings in the afternoon Doughty hasn't looked very good. Is he usually off during day games or have I just been unlucky and caught a few of his bad ones?

He’s like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, and turns into Randy Jones during day games.

It's just odd, I expect the best when I watch him play but the last few day games i've caught he's just been bad, and they've all been day games. He just looked off today, like he was missing a step.

He's trying to do too much lately which makes him much worse. He's not skilled enough offensively to create offense for himself or the Kings consistently but he thinks he is. He himself said he dominates games. Well, he's trying to but he is doing the opposite. He's hurting his team with his selfish play.

 

[Reaper45]

Blake won't have the balls. And honestly I don't want karlsson either he's not the same since coming back from injury, much like Pearson.

And he still has more points than Doughty.

 

[KINGS17]

Blake -88
Doughty +90

3 straight Saturday day game losses . Well done Kings.

 

[kingsfan28]

One of the few time in LA there was no traffic. Kinkaid saw every shot.

And Reider-Carter-Lewis is NOT working! Those 3 look lost together and have zero chemistry.

 

[kingsfan28]

John Stevens trying to win the game rolling two lines.

One line .The 2nd has been invisible since Steven changed the lines.

 

[kingsfan28]

They had a ton of PP’s early and were down 2 most of the game. Obviously not going to play Mitchell, Reider and Clifford a ton when looking for goals.

that 0-6 really hurt, especially the 5 on 3 that they tried to scored from the outside. Did a single play go down low?

They had few go down low, but NJ gave them zero room, LA didnt help themselves, but NJ played a solid game, there's a reason why they are in the playoffs in the East......

You outnumber a team by 2 and can't find and room to get the puck through.

Happens to lots of teams

 

[KINGS17]

Yes, and they are called also rans.

 

[robitaillefan]

Kane woulda fit in well here ....just sayin

 

[damacles1156]

Eww,

Just a bad game all around. Hopefully the Kings figure out Pacific teams at home, cause feasting on the EAST is over.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Something to cheer us up.

Bet they had fun after the game, definitely scored more than the Kings.

 

[GoldenBearHockey]

Yes, and they are called also rans.

Nope, pretty sure they are called NHL teams

I always thought with a 5 on 3 powerplay, you try to move the puck.....to create space and an open net.

I saw 3 slapshots from the middle.

That's how the Kings play. It should be expose the 3 players with your 5 but they don't. On a five on three you're supposed to utilize the back of the net to make the 3 players collapse in. But they don't do it. I don't get it.

Normally that's what you do yeah. This team seems to always be bad at 5 on 3. It's like they have too many options and get paralyzed.

They tried, for about 10-20 seconds, when they couldn't do it, then panicked and just started trying to sling it on net
