Kings Lose 2-1

[Reclamation Project]

LeBron James would've been carried off by 5 guys and missed the next 5 games. Greene throws some duck tape on the cut and goes right back out.

Weren't we up after 2, btw?

We go like 3-4 years practically never losing with a lead going into the third and now we've dropped what, 3? in the last few games. Oops!

Bernstein is on it.

Understandably going through the motions for the most part. Nothing to play for, and a full 3 day break before the next game. Hopefully things get a little more crisp later in the week.

I know it quite doesn't matter as the team focus is not there, but it is still is a concern as it may become habitual.

I even overheard "Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees, being blasted, during the post-game show in Rogers Arena, in addition to the non-call prior to that.

Now you see why the Canucks are the most disliked team in Western Canada?

Also, a nice evaluation game for Andrew Campbell; you can never have too much defensemen, let alone left wingers.

no way

Way. And look at Quicks reaction in the background. No wonder he gave the refs an earful after the goal was scored.

 

[MynameisKing]

Well, most of the top teams are not invested in these games anymore. There are definitely some pooper games being played by them.

So the Canucks further cement a black hole finish. I love to beat those clowns just as much as everyone else, but they didn't gain, and we didn't lose, anything if significance in this game.

My only concern is the team being fully healthy by first round. The Canucks concern is what golf course to hit up first.

Just gotta love Quick!

 

[Ron*]

Has to be the most undisciplined period the entire season by the Kings.

 

[Steve Zissou]

I didn't get to watch the game.
So, did our Captain Derrp took another must "Roughing" penalty to help out the other team?
Man, I love our Cap and his hockey IQ.

Yet you rag on the guy? Nice.

This is something I don't like. I believe all three games involved penalties in the third that got the other teams back into it.

Don't tell me that's a ****ing Sedin doing the dive gesture...

Quick Smash!!!!

I guess we now know why he got the penalty.

Richardson asked if it was nice to score against his former team, "Ya it was. Nice to see Quickie break his stick like that too."

 

[Reclamation Project]

Voynov is like "Damn, wish my sticks were that strong!"

 

[MynameisKing]

Quick Smash!!!!

Voynov: Oh S**T!!!

Good thing they realize it.

“It's frustrating,†Greene said. “We've got to start locking it down. It's two third periods where we had a lead. We had a lead in San Jose. We've got to be able to lock these down and go into the third period and win those games.â€

Voynov is like "Damn, wish my sticks were that strong!"

He uses wood sticks, not composites. Voynov does that his stick is broken in 7 pieces .

 

[Fishhead]

Disinterested in this one, I just had it on in the background. A team locked into a spot isn't going to get up for a mediocre Vancouver team who are a shell of their former selves (and will be for some time). They had nothing to prove.

Just glad no one was hurt.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Over the last 10 games only one Western Conference team has a better record than the Kings - Colorado.

Don't tell me that's a ****ing Sedin doing the dive gesture...

****ing Sedin and all the other players were stopping on the play because they knew it was interference. The video tells the whole story that the refs decided not to call.

20 years ago that's good defense - in 2014 that's interference, every time.

Kings for sure took last two matches as sort of maintainance for players, that carried most of heavy load during the season. They rested Mitchel and Regehr for one game, Kopitar played second game in a row with less than 20:00 min time, this time less than 17:00 min (and was still together with few others forwarder with most ice time), Doughty would probably play if this would be important matches...

I believe, this few days will be now reset days and then last three matches will be in their minds part of PO season. They will build momentum again with this three matches. It is good thing that opponents in those three matches also won't play for something, so there will be more friendly enviroment (or at least wont be to agressive).
