We scored first!!

 

[tny760]

Pearson is bad arse. So many here are down on him. He's had a strong season, despite his semi lackluster goal totals.

lots of stat watching with him, people seem to be blind to how many goals he's created with great screens

10 fewer goals than Toffoli? And yet he's been more effective most of the season.

 

[KingTrouty]

We scored first!!

What are we, something like 20-2 when scoring first?

And how many goals have been called back. The guy lives in the goalie crease lol

 

[tny760]

3 forecheckers in the offensive zone and all minny can do is panic flip the puck out of the zone

why do we only see this aggressive forechecking every once in a while? kings are dominant when they send 2 in.. wonder if he was trying to save it for the playoffs or something

20-2-3 when we score first. We've spent like 64% of the season giving up the first goal.

Cause it's hard work and the Kings don't feel like doing it all the time.

Wow. 43/47 points when scoring first.

I will take full blame if we lose tonight, Kylo

The kings are too inconsistent for anyone to get blamed.

And Rieder is back with Kopitar...

 

[BigKing]

Great pass by Brown. Good move by Stevens to put Pearson up on the top line since he showed jump throughout the period. Makes up for having Reider there at all.

Kempe man...that play on the 4-on-2 was brutal. He's not devoid of play making ability, but that was a fine example of why he shouldn't be a center if it can be avoided.

As I type this, Reider is back on the top line and just coughed up the puck for a bad turnover. I take it back, Stevens.

My bad...it was Doughty. Watching on my phone while working.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Lol Phaneuf is such a grumpy old man. He looks like he's trying to kill someone every time he's out there.

 

[Little Psycho]

Great to see it wasn't too serious. That could have been ugly for Forbort

 

[tny760]

holy shit that forbort cut

so easily could've been his neck.. unreal

 

[Little Psycho]

Muzzin killing it in a bad way

 

[tny760]

phaneuf on the bench was hilarious

"not bleeding?... hmm. where's the gatorade?"

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Another power play that gives the opponent momentum.

 

[tny760]

funny lookin power play.

 

[kingsboy11]

powerplay picking up where it left off on Saturday...

 

[Little Psycho]

Try 4 forwards and 1 d on the pp.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Do we have to have another "power" play?


edit..

Ok, I take that back
